Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham to star in movie together.

Re: Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham to star in movie togethe

Variety article

Sylvester Stallone is set to star in and helm "The Expendables" for Nu Image/Millennium Films.

Stallone, who also penned the script, will be joined onscreen by Jason Statham, while Jet Li is in final negotiations to join the actioner.

Pic follows a team of mercenaries on a mission to overthrow a South American dictator. Lensing starts in February in Costa Rica and Louisiana.

Producers are Avi Lerner, John Thompson and Kevin King Templeton. Boaz Davidson, Trevor Short and Danny Dimbort exec produce.

Stallone joined forces with Nu Image/Millennium on the latest "Rambo," which he also helmed and co-wrote

This actually sounds quite fun in a throwaway action movie sort of way. If they try to turn it into some sort of serious message film where the mercs see the light, I will not be happy.

We'll find out that Stallone's character is blind, Lundgren's character is deaf, Statham's character is autistic and Li's character is wheelchair bound, thus making it an Oscar-caliber mercenary for hire movie.

You joke.

Hollywood scriptwriters make notes.
 
Re: Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham to star in movie togethe

It's now being reported that Stallone is courting Sandra Bullock to play a government agent, who would be Forrest Whitaker's partner. It's also looking like Stallone, Lundgren, Statham and Li will all be mercenaries.

In related news, Freddy Krueger, Luke Skywalker, K.I.T.T., Satan, Pavel Chekov, Snoopy, and a classic Cylon have also been added to the cast. :p
 
Re: Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham to star in movie togethe

Sandra Bullock has passed, but...

Mickey Rourke has joined the cast.

Ben Kingsley supposedly might be signing up too.
 
Re: Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham to star in movie togethe

Damn this flick is gaining more awesome by the minute! It doesn't even have to be good with all these guys.
 
Re: Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham to star in movie togethe

I'm excited to hear about this (read a bit about it on AICN too). That is one cast of awesome. Seeing all those action movie actors together in one spot is just too cool. All the trailer needs are their names, an explosion and the title!

When they cast Optimus Prime it'll make it an instant classic. :p
 
Re: Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham to star in movie togethe

So who else do they need to get? Eric Roberts? Gary Busey? Carl Weathers? Rutger Hauer? Michael Biehn? Michael Ironside? Powers Boothe? Clancy Brown? Lance Henriksen? Ron Perlman? Bruce Campbell? William Shatner?

There has to be cameos from Schwarzenegger, Willis and Russell.

And will there be a straight-to-video version starring Don "The Dragon" Wilson, Jeff Speakman, Billy Blanks, Marc Dacascos, Cynthia Rothrock, David Bradley, Jeff Wincott, Oliver Gruner, Lorenzo Lamas, Brian Bosworth, Michael Dudikoff and Steven Seagal? :)

:lol:

all we need is Chris Tucker "you crazy everyone! CRAZY!!!" Too bad Don the trailer guy is dead.

Announcer- All the cliche one liners you can think off

Arnold- Get to theee Choppa!!

Stallone- but i'm AM the LAW!

Van Damme- Now who wants to go WITH ME!


We'll find out that Stallone's character is blind, Lundgren's character is deaf, Statham's character is autistic and Li's character is wheelchair bound, thus making it an Oscar-caliber mercenary for hire movie.

Meet the new A- Team, The Dis A-bled TEAM
 
Re: Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham to star in movie togethe

Stallone, Li, Statham, Lundregn, Coultre, Whitiker and now Rourke. Okay, I've got to see this film.

:lol:
No really let me evolve this point: if it's crap then you can sit around with your buddies and makes cracks about it for the entire run! I can think of no end of the jokes :lol:

Dammit, you beat me to it. Something tells me we've watched a lot of the same movies at some point in our lives.:lol:
 
Re: Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham to star in movie togethe

Arnold should play the President in this movie.
 
Re: Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham to star in movie togethe

"If it bleeds, we can tax it."

"Just say no to drugs. Just say yes to my hot lead!"

"We hold these truths to be self evident that all firearms are created equal."

"Filibuster this!"

"Hasta la vista, special interest group."
 
Re: Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham to star in movie togethe

Even if Arnold can't actually shoot scenes they could still include him. Show footage of him on tv as the Governor. With smart ass comments from the cast! It would follow the trend of President Schwarzenegger jokes in Demolition Man. Also the Stallone as Terminator jokes in The Last Action Hero.
 
Re: Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham to star in movie togethe

This movie has awesome written all over it!

They need to get the girl from Rambo II to do a cameo where she tells Stallone's character "You not expendable." :D
