http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/03/05/fox-developing-expendables-tv-series FOX is teaming with The Expendableswriter/creator/star Sylvester Stallone to develop a TV series version of the action franchise - with the twist being that it would use legendary TV action stars for its mercenary team. Per Deadline, Stallone is executive producing alongside Expendables producer Avi Lerner and NCIS's Shane Brennan (who will also serve as series showrunner). So who are we thinking here? The realm of TV action stars actually covers a lot of territory. More so than film perhaps. Everyone from Chuck Norris to Don Johnson to Kiefer Sutherland all the way to Jennifer Garner to Lucy Lawless to Sarah Michelle Gellar. We know it's only in the developmental stage, but who would you like to see on the series?
The Expendables movies are basically a parody of the action movies of the 80's and 90's. A small budget television version with B- and C-list actors actually goes past parody into some weird meta shit. To me it sounds like it would implode.
