The Expendables may be turned into a TV series
Both Red and Step Up are Summit Entertainment properties, which Lionsgate now controls after purchasing Summit back in January. All of these franchises are still viable box office properties, with The Expendables 2 hitting theaters August 17, Red 2 arriving August 2, 2013, and Step Up: Revolution debuting July 27.
Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer listed all three properties' potential for a TV series during a conference call with investors this morning. Nothing is formalized as of yet, but it's clear the studio has a lot more coin to play with after the blockbuster success of The Hunger Games.
Lionsgate's TV division produces hit shows such as Mad Men, Weeds, and Nurse Jackie.
The Expendables was released August 13th, 2010 and stars Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, David Zayas. The film is directed by Sylvester Stallone.

Not gonna happen. This has to be a rumor. A Step-Up TV series? It would never happen. Rumor, no doubt.

As for Step Up I could care less, but as for the rest, No No and HELL NO!!! They need to let The Expendables and RED stay movie franchises, they have been very well at the boxoffice, they should not be tv shows. I know for certain that if both The Expendables2 and RED2 do way better than there originals people will want another MOVIE SEQUEL.
