"However, that one stalled out, not because of the whole high-end call girl thing, but because by 2022, Millennium Films' Jeffrey Greenstein said "that project was always trying to find a way to justify why we'd have a woman team.""
Eclectic Pictures and Hollywood Ventures Group are renewing support for The Expendabelles at the Cannes Film Festival. The project is described as a reimagined version of earlier pitches while keeping the same title. The new concept is an origin story set in the late 1990s during Y2K-era tension and geopolitical uncertainty. Filmmakers characterize it as a stylized, action-driven cinematic event meant to expand the franchise mythology while standing on its own. Earlier development efforts included competing versions, one involving Gina Carano and another by Legally Blonde writers Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith. That version centered on female mercenaries posing as high-end call girls to save a nuclear scientist, but it stalled due to difficulties justifying a woman team.
