Cliffhanger 2 Production Date Window Set, Plot Details Revealed

More information about the upcoming Cliffhanger reboot starring Sylvester Stallone has been revealed, including when the film is set to begin production.

According to a recent report from Screen Daily detailing how the film received funding from German production fund FFF Bayern, the report notes that Cliffhanger 2 will begin production in the summer of 2024. So far, the plan for production is to take place throughout Europe, with director Jean-François Richet also attached to the project.

Screen Daily’s report also mentions that the screenplay for the film — written by Mark Bianculli (The Good Neighbor) — will see Stallone reprising his role as ranger Gabriel “Gabe” Walker, who runs a mountain lodge in his retirement.

“When Gabe and a high-profile client are taken hostage during an adventurous weekend trip, his daughter has to use all her climbing skills to outwit the kidnappers, triggering a battle of life and death,” the synopsis goes on to read.

What to Expect in the Cliffhanger Reboot?

The Cliffhanger reboot will be directed and executive produced by Ric Roman Waugh, and adapted from a screenplay written by Mark Bianculli. Waugh is best known for his directorial efforts on Gerard Butler-led action films Angel Has Fallen and Greenland.

“Growing up with the biggest action films of the ’80s and ’90s, working on many of them myself, Cliffhanger was by far one of my favorite spectacles,” Waugh said in a statement. “To be at the helm of the next chapter, scaling the Italian Alps with the legend himself, Sylvester Stallone, is a dream come true. It’s going to be a great challenge and blast taking this franchise to new heights, a responsibility I don’t take lightly.”

The Cliffhanger reboot is being produced by Neil H. Moritz (Fast and the Furious films) and Toby Jaffe for Original Film banner, along with Stallone and Thorsten Schumacher for Balboa Productions. Lars Sylvest is also producing under Rocket Science, who will also be financing the film. It is executive produced by Ana Lily Amirpour, Chance Wright, Gianluca Chakra, and Hisham Alghanim.

The original Cliffhanger was directed by Renny Harlin from a script co-written by Stallone. It revolved around Stallone’s Walker, a mountain climber haunted by past mistakes. In the film, Walker gets involved in a high-stakes heist, as a group of international thieves try to locate their missing loot after their plane crashes into the mountain.
