Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone is coming to Europe this summer to film. The second part of “Cliffhanger” will be created in South Tyrol and Bavaria, among other places.
Sylvester Stallone is apparently filming “Cliffhanger 2” in the Dolomites. This is reported by the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”. Birgit Oberkofler, chairwoman of the IDM South Tyrol film funding commission, which is supporting the project with 400,000 euros, said that filming will take place in the South Tyrolean Alps.
The filming of the 1993 film “Cliffhanger – Only the Strong Survive” also took place in the Dolomites. The film was originally supposed to be shot in the Rocky Mountains, where the film’s action also takes place. However, the US Environmental Protection Agency is said to have refused a filming permit.
Sylvester Stallone: “Cliffhanger 2” also in Bavaria
Now the Dolomites will officially be the setting for “Cliffhanger 2,” according to the “FAZ” report. At the end of last year there were already the first details about the sequel to the 1993 film. The Film FernsehenFonds Bayern (FFF Bayern), which is supporting the production with two million euros, says “Cliffhanger 2” with Sylvester Stallone will also be filmed in Bavaria, including in the Penzing Studios and downtown Munich. According to the announcement, “well over half of the filming” will take place in Bavaria, with production scheduled to begin in summer 2024.
“Cliffhanger 2” is being created as a German-British co-production between Black Magic Films based in London and the Munich company Supernix in collaboration with Original Films (USA). The film is directed by French filmmaker Jean-François Richet (57).
According to media reports, a sequel to “Cliffhanger – Only the Strong Survive” has been under discussion for years. The plot of the second film will again revolve around Gabe Walker, who will be portrayed again by Sylvester Stallone. Walker now apparently lives in the Dolomites and is in danger there.
