The Hollywood Reporter has stated that Sylvester Stallone has signed on to star in the upcoming Cliffhanger reboot, in which he will reprise his role as Gabe Walker, who was introduced as a mountain climber and rescue ranger in the original 1993 film. The reboot will be directed and executive produced by Ric Roman Waugh, and written by Mark Bianculli.
Waugh released a statement about the project saying, “Growing up with the biggest action films of the ’80s and ’90s, working on many of them myself, Cliffhanger was by far one of my favorite spectacles, To be at the helm of the next chapter, scaling the Italian Alps with the legend himself, Sylvester Stallone, is a dream come true. It’s going to be a great challenge and blast taking this franchise to new heights, a responsibility I don’t take lightly.”
The ‘Cliffhanger’ reboot is being produced by Stallone and Thorsten Schumacher for Balboa Productions.
