Production
In August 2012, producer Adi Shankar's production company, 1984 Private Defense Contractors, hired screenwriter Dutch Southern to write an all-female action film. It was also reported that the film, inspired by The Expendables franchise, will be fully financed by 1984 Private Defense Contractors and that the company has already began talks with several prominent female action stars.

In September 2012, actress and former MMA fighter Gina Carano signed on to lead the all-female ensemble. Shankar said, "I don't know how I'm supposed to make a movie that is supposed to be the female version of The Expendables without Gina Carano in it. It would be like making Twix without caramel or Jamba Juice without jamba".

In October 2012, Katee Sackhoff, best known for her role as Kara Thrace on the television series Battlestar Galactica, joined the project. Shankar said, "If you spend five minutes with Katee it becomes blatantly obvious that she would pwn [sic] most male action stars". Also in October, Millennium Films, the studio behind The Expendables, announced plans for their own take on all-female version of the film titled The ExpendaBelles.

In August 2013, Sharni Vinson, who played the lead in the 2013 horror film, You're Next, joined the cast.
