Looks like you better not hold out hope for that Tango & Cash reunion anytime soon.

In a message to fansite StalloneZone, actor-director Sylvester Stallone revealed that he recently reached out to his Tango & Cash co-star Kurt Russell to appear in his all-star action flick The Expendables, which also stars Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Eric Roberts, Terry Crews (who replaced Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson who had replaced Forest Whitaker) and, in a cameo, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"I know that many people on the site have asked for Kurt Russell. I asked for him too. Actually, I was taken aback when asked to put the request in a letter and send it to his agent," Stallone wrote. "Subsequently, I was called back by the agent several days later after refusing to send a letter and he said Kurt Russell is not interested in 'ensemble acting' at this time. So, People, I came, I saw, I failed."

The Expendables is now filming for a April 23, 2010 release.
