Sylvester Stallone's next movie is a murder mystery set in a retirement home for spies
'Rocky' legend Sylvester Stallone is set to star in 'Never Too Old To Die' for Amazon.
Sylvester Stallone is heading to a retirement home for spies for his next movie.
The 76-year-old action legend is to star in and produce the upcoming action-comedy, 'Never Too Old To Die', which has been acquired by Amazon Studios.
The film follows a Cold War hero on a mission to discover the assassin living in the home, according to Deadline.
The script comes from Brian Otting, the writer and director behind 2022's 'Prom Car '91' and 2019's ' It Came Nameless in Spring'.
'Never Too Old To Die' is the first project to come from Stallone and Braden Aftergood's Balboa Productions' multi-year deal with Amazon.
The 'Rocky' legend will be tasked with writing, directing, producing and starring in a series of scripted and unscripted projects across TV and film.
Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon and MGM Studios, said: “Sylvester Stallone is an undeniable Hollywood legend who has created some of the most timeless and iconic characters of our generation.
"As an actor, writer, director, and producer, he has defined his own epic brand of storytelling and inspired people all over the world.
“We are excited to continue our relationship with Sylvester and Balboa Productions to bring even more of his exciting creative vision to our global audiences.”
Balboa produced MGM's 2022 superhero movie 'Samaritan', which starred Stallone and was distributed via Prime Video.
Stallone and Aftergood said: “We are thrilled to partner with Amazon to create new film and television projects.
“Having the opportunity to work closely with the talented creative teams at Amazon and MGM will further propel the incredible momentum of Balboa Productions.”
Stallone - who is currently starring as Dwight 'The General' Manfredi in Paramount+ crime drama 'Tulsa King' - shows no signs of slowing down, and will also be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe next month as Ravager Captain Stakar Ogord in 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3'.
Meanwhile, he will appear in his family's show 'The Family Stallone', which premieres on May 17 on Paramount's streaming platform, and he'll be back in 'The Expendables' this summer.
