Simon West will direct The Expendables 2

_*Con Air*_*and _Lara Croft: Tomb Raider_ director Simon West has
signed on to helm _The Expendables 2_.*

The OAP actioner is the follow-up to last year’s relatively
successful (at least money-wise) buddy movie, which teamed numerous
'80s action stars – among them writer Sylvester Stallone –
for numerous rounds of bloody violence.

We can’t imagine that formula will get messed with much for the
sequel, though Stallone – who will return for the sequel –
has mentioned he’d like Bruce Willis to play the film’s
villain.

West himself has devoted much of his career to blowing stuff up, which
makes him pretty much perfect for the director’s chair.

_The Expendables 2_ is expected to also star Jason Statham, Dolph
Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li and Terry Crews. It has been pegged
for an August 2012 release.
