Check out the full video interview after the jump. During the interview, the composer confirms his involvement in the upcoming The Expendables 2, the sequel to last summer’s action hit. The project is still in pre-production and current reports indicate that Stallone won’t return to direct and only will be acting in the film. The sequel script is written by David Agosto and Ken Kaufman (Space Cowboys, The Missing). Apart from Stallone, only Randy Couture is confirmed to star in the film. No word yet on which other cast members will be returning. Lionsgate has already set the release date for The Expendables 2 to August 17, 2012.
