The Expendables trailer is fun, I like it. Although this promotional reel is not really a trailer. It’s more of a promotional piece for distribution. But, it’s fun to watch. The one-liners are hilarious and very real by writer and director Sylvester Stallone. It looks like he has hit pay dirt, a real winner here folks. The live action movie is set to be released August 20, 2010, starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Eric Roberts, Dolph Lundgren, Charisma Carpenter, Giselle Itie, Brittany Murphy, David Zayas and Amin Joseph. The movie centers on a team of mercenaries on a tough mission to overthrow a South American dictator.
It might surprise you to know that both Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwartzenegger will be back to take on the action movie world in 2010’s The Expendables. It might be especially surprising since, at last report, California was one bus token away from complete fiscal Armageddon, so what is the governor doing running around in movies?
But anyway! A trailer was successfully bootlegged out of Venice for The Expendables, and we’ve got it directly below thanks to the magic of YouTube.
If you think it looks a lot like every other movie Stallone was ever in, then you’re probably not too far off. Except, of course, this one has Jason Statham. And Jason Statham is pretty much always awesome.
The teaser trailer, meanwhile, is of relatively poor quality but such is the way that all bootlegs pretty much go. You will, however, get to see how very cookie-cutter this action flick will be in advance, so you’ll know in advance if you want to see it. Frankly, I’m probably in because I enjoy this kind of mindless eye-candy. And somewhere, an entire studio hopes against hope that you will be too.
Following up on our last report, it appears Sandra Bullock won’t be in Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables. However, Stallone himself has confirmed that Oscar winner Forest Whitaker will be a part of the cast after all.
Whitaker is now set to play the CIA liaison who sends the group of mercenaries to South America to overthrow an evil dictator. The cast also includes Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren and many others.
Stallone also revealed that he is trying to get Sir Ben Kingsley onboard the project. Shooting begins next month.
JoBlo reports that Sylvester Stallone is after Demolition Man co-star Sandra Bullock to join him in The Expendables, his upcoming action film. Stallone has so far lined up Jason Statham, Jet Li, Forest Whitaker, Randy Couture and Dolph Lundgren for the film which tells the tale of mercenaries on a mission to take down an evil dictator.
Bullock would play a government agent on the hunt for Stallone’s crew. However, her participation in the film is yet to be a “done deal”, but hopefully it should go through.
Sylvester Stallone also stars in the film and will direct it.
Not getting enough press, Sly Stallone’s next film, The Expendables, looks like it may be the biggest action revival ever. Fans of the hyper-masculine fights, gun battles, and homo-erotic subtext of the 80’s and 90’s will all flock to see this flick. Why? Not only is Sly writing and directing, but he’s enlisting the biggest names in action films to join forces. Already the film stars Sly himself, Jason Statham, and Jet Li. And now it seems that Dolph Lundgren, meathead in films like Universal Soldier, Rocky IV, and Masters of the Universe, may be joining. According to Dark Horizons, Stallone himself revealed that he’s on the verge of signing the aged action-man to the flick.
Now, all Sly needs is Mr T, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Steven Segal, with a cameo from Arnie, and every man who grew up in the 80’s will storm the box office to check out this film, with its hilarious premise involving a group of merceneries who load up and attempt to take down a “South American dictator”. Presumably, it’s not by silent protest.
Following word of the movie being announced, Sylvester Stallone told a crowd at this past week’s American Film Market that he has been heavily courting Oscar-winning actor Forest Whitaker for a role in The Expendables, his next project.
Stallone himself, Jason Statham and Jet Li are all pegged to star in the film about a group of mercenaries on an undercover mission to depose of a Latin American dictator. The Rambo-actor wants Whitaker to play a devious CIA agent involved in the operation.
Shooting for the film is set to begin in February 2009 in Costa Rica and Louisiana.
Action stars Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and Jet Li are said to be in final talks with Nu Image/Millennium Films to play a team of mercenaries in The Expendables.
The film has the characters sent to infiltrate a South American country and overthrow its ruthless dictator to liberate the population. Their team is said to be “expendable”, hired to do jobs no one else will.
Stallone is set to direct the film from his original screenplay. Shooting begins in February 2009 in Costa Rica and Louisiana.
Every action film fan’s wet dream is to see the two heavyweights – Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone – team up in a film. Well, Mr. Rambo and Mr. Terminator sure are teaming up, but not in a movie like you had been dreaming about all these years. They are going to be in a Bollywood film.
The two will star in Incredible Love, the first Indian production to be shot at Hollywood’s Universal Studios. It is set to be the biggest budgeted Bollywood movie in history with a cost of over $22 million.
Bollywood superstars Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor are in the film which tells the story of an Indian stuntman who takes Hollywood by storm but cannot find true love there.
