Sylvester Stallone to star and produce Never Too Old To Die
Sylvester Stallone is set to star in 'Never Too Old To Die'.
The 78-year-old actor will also produce the upcoming action comedy, which has been acquired by Amazon Studios and will focus on a mysterious murder in a retirement home for spies.
As reported by Deadline, the film will see a Cold War hero on a mission to discover the assassin living in the home.

"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.”

Stallone and Aftergood said: “We are thrilled to partner with Amazon to create new film and television projects.
