EXPEND4BLES Director Scott Waugh Reveals Film's New Edge

In this exclusive interview from the Miami Red Carpet premiere of EXPEND4BLES, Director Scott Waugh delves into his vision for revamping the beloved franchise. Waugh discusses how he's staying true to the series' DNA by maintaining its 'hard R' rating while injecting fresh life through humor and gore.

Waugh also opens up about assembling an eclectic cast, from franchise stalwarts like Sylvester Stallone to newcomers like Megan Fox and 50 Cent. With a focus on authentic action sequences, he praises the cast's ability to perform their own stunts, creating a thrilling and explosive film that he believes fans will love.

The director's affinity for retro film techniques is evident as he talks about the stylistic choice of using close-ups, a nod to the 80s and 90s cinema. Filmed in Miami away from the Hollywood scene, this interview provides a glimpse into the exciting new direction of the EXPEND4BLES franchise.
