Producer Adi Shankar's 1984 Private Defense Contractor has agreed to back the female version of the star-studded actioner with Dutch Southern being tapped as the scribe, reported Aceshowbiz.

Shankar's banner reportedly has already been in talks with some notable actresses in the action genre. However, details of those actresses who are approached to join the big project are still kept secret.

Fuelling the report of the possible all-female "Expendables" is director Simon West who recently said that he has set his eyes on several Hollywood leading ladies.

"I like the idea of the Expenda-Belles where it's seven or eight women mercenaries. It would be Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, Milla Jovovich, the list goes on. Helen Mirren, Jamie Lee Curtis would be great," West said.
