Streep, Diaz And Jovovich Up For "Expednabelles"

It has been announced that Meryl Streep, Cameron Diaz and Milla Jovovich are in talks to star in "Expednabelles" over at Millennium Films--home of the original Expendables film series.

All that we know about the script written by "Legally Blonde" scribes Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith is that the women will take on a villain in the small South-East Asian sovereignty of Brunei, one of the wealthiest countries on Earth.

Lerner says:

"The action movie will be spectacular - and in nothing inferior to the three male movies of the The Expendables. There will be battles, special and visual effects and stunts - the spectacle will be equivalent to what Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis and Jean-Claude Van Damme have done have done. Two excellent screenwriters are already working on the picture. Now we are in search of a female director."

Negotiations are already underway with other actresses for roles.


Avi Lerner , Mark Gill, Julie Kroll and Heidi Jo Markel will produce the film.

The estrogen fuelled actioner is expected to begin in early 2014 in Bulgaria.
