A co-production between Emmett/Furla/Oasis and Chinese company Leomus Pictures, Escape Plan 2 will again star Sylvester Stallone as Ray Breslin, though Arnold Schwarzenegger’s return as Emil Rottmayer is still under discussion for now.
Up and coming young action filmmaker Steven C. Miller (Marauders, Arsenal) has been announced as the Escape Plan 2 director via The Tracking Board.
It’s no surprise that Escape Plan 2 will feature some Chinese story elements.
The original Escape Plan was released by Summit Entertainment in 2013, and though it only grossed $25 million domestically, it took in $137 million worldwide, the bulk of the international gross coming from China.
