Default The Expendables!

Totally off topic but has anyone heard anything about the upcoming movie "The Expendables" ?

Relevant if you’re an action movie. Written and directed by Sylvester Stallone and due for release next year. It has a stellar cast and is basically about a team of the worlds most highly-trained mercenaries go to South America to overthrow an evil dictator and his army.

Great cast starring Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, David Zayas, Terry Crews and Eric Roberts, with wrestler Steve Austin, UFC fighters Randy Couture, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and British kick boxer Gary Daniels among many others in support. Arnold Schwarzenegger also stars in a cameo role while Forest Whitaker was also due to star but had to pull out due to other commitments. Jean-Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagal, Wesley Snipes, Kurt Russell, 50 Cent and Danny Tejo were also offered roles in the film but declined for various reasons.

Can’t wait!

Would love to see other action stars in this film such as Matt Damon, Chuck Norris, Daniel Craig, Ving Rhames, Vinnie Jones and a younger Clint Eastwood, and it might revive Jean-Claude Van Damme’s career if the movie is a hit.

Sounds cheese-tastic! I'd heard rumors, but I thought it was a put-on. I'm assuming it's meant to be one of those self-aware, slightly ironic, action comedies. At least, I hope it is.

So basically they've rounded up all the old worn out, used up and past their prime action heros?

Sounds great!

So this is like "League of Extrordinanry Gentlement?"

As for "Expendable" well it reminds me of one of two of the greatest movies of all time, "They were EXPENDABLE" totaly awsome! And the connector, "John Wayne" and "The Searchers" there are no other movies. The end! Game over, discussion finished....I wave the hand!

A surprisingly good movie but the comics are much better and much darker also.

Default The Expendables movie. Ultimate guys movie !!!!

(edit kato13: This was flagged as spam by my tests but it is at least "on topic" spam, for the thread, and may be useful so I decided to leave it, as it appears harmless)

Anyone else just a bit excited about this film? I can't wait to see THE EXPENDABLES featuring Sly Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Steve Austin, Randy Couture and more! In one film. Crazy. I can almost smell the testosterone!!! Roll on 2010 and... BRING ON THE EXPLOSIONS!!!

Some Expendables wallpapers & pictures samples:
