EXPENDABELLES Finds a Director with Robert Luketic

The all female version of The Expendables has had some developments with Robert Luketic being announced as the film’s director.  Luketic most recently directed the Harrison Ford thriller Paranoia, which doesn’t exactly bode well for The Expendabelles.  He also directed Legally Blonde, written by Kirsten Smith and Karen McCullah Lutz who are also writing the script for this film.

Deadline also posted up a newly released synopsis, hit the break to check it out.  There’s currently no casting information as of yet, but production is set for this summer so we should hear some news soon.

When America’s Navy SEALs are wiped out trying to penetrate the island lair of a deadly despot who has captured one of the world’s top nuclear scientists, it becomes clear that there is no such thing as the right man for the job and that this is a mission so impossible that only women can handle it. The only way in: some of the world’s deadliest female operatives must pose as high-class call-girls shipped in by private plane to satisfy a dictator–and instead save the scientist and the day.
