Stallone to play retired spy in action-comedy Never Too Old to Die

The actor-producer’s first project with Amazon Studios

Lionsgate

Sylvester Stallone will play a former spy in retirement home-set action-comedy Never Too Old To Die for Amazon Studios.

The action comedy to be produced by Stallone and Braden Aftergood for Balboa Productions sees the “Tulsa King” star mixed up in plot about a mysterious murder within a retirement home for spies that sparks a Cold War hero’s personal mission to find the assassin living among them.

This will be the first project falling under Stallone and Balboa’s multi-year, first-look deal with Amazon Studios, who Sly and Amazon collaborated on Samaritan with last year.

The script for Never Too Old to Die was panned by Brian Otting, a writer and director whose short film Prom Car ’91 was an awards darling on the festival circuit.
