The thriller, which stars Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone, is getting a sequel, with the star reprising his role as Gabe Walker.

Deadline reports the 76-year-old's own production company will be involved in the new project.

The search for the rest of the cast is currently underway, with the plotline being kept under wraps.

Soon after the rescuer is tasked with helping the group of stranded men, he finally realises they're violent robbers.

The film grossed a whopping $255 million worldwide following its release.

The news comes following confirmation that the former BBC series Grange Hill is returning.

It's making a comeback 15 years after being axed by the broadcaster with a new movie.

The children's TV show was set in a North London comprehensive school and ran for a whopping 31 series.

And now its writer Sir Phil Redmond has officially confirmed the film adaption and said the scripts have been created.

While the plotline for the reboot is being kept under wraps, Sir Phil told Deadline Sara Sugarman's character Jessica Samuels will be at the centre.
