Sylvester Stallone's "The Expendables"

[newb]

Kind of reminds me of "back in the day" when they paired the then two biggest box office draws, Clint Eastwood & Burt Reynolds in one movie.

Does anybody remember "City Heat".......didn't think so.

I remember that if anyone knocked Clint whilst drinking his coffee, the eye started twitching and then a can of kick ass was opened.

Its about all I remember!

Pretty sure I enjoyed it but was only a kid then, never been overly keen on Burt Reynolds' smarm though.

WWE alum "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Charisma Carpenter have been added to the cast of "The Expendables," starring, written and directed by Sylvester Stallone.

Cast includes Mickey Rourke and Jason Statham too.

Austin recently wrapped fight pic "Damage" and inked a TV development deal with Original Media and Caliber Media. Carpenter just completed horror pics "House of Bones" and "Vivid."

You just made my day by telling me about this. Honestly i couldn't be happier right now, this sounds like the most bad ass movie ever. Stallone, Rourke, and [I]Schwarzenegger???!!!![/I Too bad Arnie's not going to be playing an ass kicking role though!:(
Another part that makes me ecstatic is that hes making the other Rambo afterwards, Stallone had been doing other jobs and I thought it had gotten dropped, but i hasn't, yaaaaay!

Danny Trejo is listed as 'rumored' on IMDB. hope he makes an appearance.

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.

Wow this sounds amazing. Well apart from Jason Statham! I can't stand the guy I hate how he tries to pull of Clint Eastwood manerisms all the time. Dude's a fucking awful actor.

In fairness, this film isnt going to stand or fall from the quality of the acting. Its hardly packed with oscar winners.

Like him or hate him, Statham can do action, just like the rest of the cast and its that which will determine how good this film turns out.
