Cliffhanger 2 will not happen. At least, not the way it was planned. In gestation for several months, the sequel project has evolved into a pure and hard remake, which will completely free itself from Sylvester Stallone. This new Cliffhanger is already in production in Europe.
It is currently made by the Spanish Jaume Collet-Serra (Jungle Cruise) from a scenario of Mark Bianculli. And it's the actress Lily James (Baby Driver, Yesterday) who inherited the main role. As these first photos from the set show, she will be the one to climb the mountain. As a guide, she can count on the ex-Bond Pierce Brosnanwho will play his father.
The team is currently filming in Austria with a cast also made up of Nell Tiger Free (Servant) and many French people: Assaad Bouab (Ten percent), Suzy Bemba (The Opera) and Bruno Gouery (Emily in Paris).
The new scenario is described as a Die Hard in a father-daughter style. Pierce Brosnan will be seasoned mountaineer Ray Cooper, who operates a luxury chalet in the Dolomites (in the Alps) with his daughter Sydney. During a weekend with the son of a billionaire, they are targeted by a gang of kidnappers. Ray's daughter, Naomi (James), still haunted by an old climbing accident, witnesses the attack and escapes. To save her family, she must face her fears and fight to survive.
“Shooting our film in the Dolomites with large format cameras was imperative for us to show the scale of the setting and the scale of the story we are telling. We will provide audiences with a truly thrilling and visceral cinematic experience “ promises Collet-Serra, who salutes the work of Lily James especially : “She went above and beyond for the role, actually training and learning to climb. Her dedication allowed us to capture some incredible images.”
