Cyndi Lauper said it best in her song about female empowerment and unstoppable violence. Two months ago a female version of THE EXPENDABLES was announced, and just last month obvious choice Gina Carano was announced to have a role. Now sci-fi star Katee Sackhoff has signed on for a role. Most famous for her role as Starbuck in the greatest show ever BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, she has a number of interesting films lined up including THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK sequel. Sackhoff will also be shedding her sci-fi roots for a go at some horror including THE HAUNTING IN GEORGIA and OCULUS, which stars another sci-fi legend Karen Gillan.
There is still no word on any plot details for the ladies version of THE EXPENDABLES, nor is there a title. Producer Adi Shankar is certainly excited about the inclusion of Sackhoff:
If you spend five minutes with Katee it becomes blatantly obvious that she would pwn (sic) most male action stars.
I’m now officially interested in the project as I love seeing the cast of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA in anything, but we are still waiting for the all important classic action woman to be cast. Will we get to see a Sigourney Weaver, Linda Hamilton, or Grace Jones? Let’s hope so.
