As a long-time fan of action movies and Sylvester Stallone‘s iconic roles, I must admit that the news about him dropping out of the Cliffhanger reboot left me feeling a bit disappointed. However, with Pierce Brosnan stepping into the shoes of Gabe Walker, I can’t help but feel a tinge of excitement. It’s like swapping the Rambo for the Bond – a different flavor, yet equally enticing!
Sylvester Stallone will no longer be starring in a reboot of Cliffhanger.
It became known in May 2023 that Stallone was set to return as character Gabe Walker in a remake of the 1993 movie “Cliffhanger”. Unfortunately, Stallone has since stepped away from the ongoing production of this project.
Who is involved with the Cliffhanger reboot?
Jaume Collet-Serra has taken over as the director for the Cliffhanger reboot from Ric Roman Waugh. Some of Collet-Serra’s past projects include House of Wax (2005), Non-Stop (2014), The Shallows (2016), Jungle Cruise (2021), and Black Adam (2022).
In the upcoming film, Pierce Brosnan takes on the role of a veteran mountaineer named Ray Cooper. Meanwhile, Lily James brings to life his character’s daughter, Naomi. The movie’s ensemble cast also features Nell Tiger Free, Franz Rogowski, Shubham Saraf, Assaad Bouab, Suzy Bemba, and Bruno Gouery.
In the new version of Cliffhanger, experienced mountain climber Ray Cooper, played by Pierce Brosnan, and his daughter Sydney manage a chalet in the breathtaking Dolomite mountains. A weekend getaway with a wealthy man’s son turns dangerous when they become the focus of kidnappers. When their older sister Naomi (Lily James), who is still struggling to come to terms with a past climbing accident, witnesses the attack and flees, she must find the courage to face her fears and battle for survival amidst the stunning Italian Dolomites.

The upcoming remake of Cliffhanger is penned from a story by Ana Lily Amirpour. The film is being produced by Lars Sylvest, Joe Neurauter, Thorsten Schumacher, Neal Moritz, Toby Jaffe. Meanwhile, Amirpour, Collet-Serra, James, Chance Wright, Gianluca Chakra, Hisham Alghanim, Josef Brandmaier, Jeff Most, Katy Most, Matthew Stedman, Philipp Kreuzer, Kwesi Dickson, Jay Taylor, MTG, Rodrigo Tarazona, Robert Daly Jr., David Lipper, Kevan van Thompson, and Gala Gordon are all taking on executive producer roles for the project.
As a film enthusiast, I can’t help but share my excitement about our movie being filmed on-location in the breathtaking Dolomites with state-of-the-art cameras. It was essential for us to visually convey the grandeur and magnitude of the narrative we’re crafting. Our aim is to offer the audience an unforgettable, immersive cinematic journey that will leave them spellbound.
A release date for the Cliffhanger reboot has not yet been announced.
