"The Expendables is an upcoming 2010 action film directed and written by Sylvester Stallone. Filming began on March 28, 2009 in Brazil, New Orleans and Los Angeles and is expected to be released on April 23, 2010. "The Expendables has a seventy million-dollar budget," says Stallone's co-star Dolph Lundgren,[1] "and it's an old-school, kick-ass action movie where people are fighting with knives and shooting at each other." The film pays a tribute to the blockbuster action films during 1980s and early 90s, as the film include veterans from the decades (such as Stallone himself, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.). The story revolves around a team of highly-skilled and dangerous mercenaries known as "The Expendables" led by Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) and consisting of, Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Bao Thao (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), Hale Ceasar (Terry Crews) and weapons expert, Toll Road (Randy Couture). They are hired by the mysterious Mr. Church to overthrow General Garza (David Zayas), dictator of the island of Corza near Brazil who has caused devastation for over 20 years. Even with the help from an arms dealer, Tool (Mickey Rourke), the challenge won't be as easy as they thought. In their way is crooked CIA agent, Monroe (Eric Roberts), his psychotic bodyguard (Steve Austin), former British expendable (Gary Daniels) and General Garza's personal army."

pumped as shit for this. This is like a greatest hits of pure 90s action. Sound off below

7/24/2009 10:07:00 AM

"Jean-Claude Van Damme was personally offered a role by Stallone, but turned it down.[3] This reportedly led to Dolph Lundgren being cast instead. The role accepted by Forest Whitaker was originally conceived as a role for Wesley Snipes but later rewritten for Whitaker.[4] Due to a scheduling conflict prior to filming, Forest Whitaker was replaced by Curtis Jackson (aka 50 Cent) for the role of Hale Caesar.[5] Due to negative fan reactions, he was then replaced by former NFL player Terry Crews.[6] "

^haha that's awesome. wesley snipes would've been awesome

7/24/2009 1:10:02 PM

7/24/2009 3:02:25 PM

They need Ian McShane to be their leader or commander.

7/24/2009 3:15:21 PM

this is the most incredible action movie cast ever assembled, and probably going to be the greatest movie ever made in the history of film. for those too lazy to read the details in the OP

Sylvester Stallone
Jason Statham
Jet Li
Dolph Lundgren
Mickey Rourke
Terry Crews
Eric Roberts
Gary Daniels (B-movie legend/superstar/one of my personal heroes)
cameos by Schwarzenegger and Brue Willis, are you fucking kidding me

having said that, here's our first look, in a shitty quality bootleg trailer:

^I thought Bruce Willis had a significant role in this one? I'm fine with a cameo though, but would prefer more of a role, haha.

Had Van Damme, Snipes, and Seagal made it into this movie...that might have been to much, my brain might have exploded.

9/15/2009 9:03:06 AM

i still get a hard-on everytime i think about this movie.

9/15/2009 9:04:20 AM

10/14/2009 12:42:04 PM

oh, cool. it's Angel Batista

10/14/2009 3:07:18 PM

I think that "firearm magazine capacity consultant" on this movie would be the easiest job ever.

Woah, woah, woah. It is impossible to make a better action movie than Commando.

10/14/2009 4:26:00 PM

every action hero ever

almost

but hilariously awesome

not bad ass awesome

10/14/2009 8:55:11 PM

I know most people disagree, but I thought Rambo (2008) was the most underrated action movie of all time.

10/14/2009 9:41:29 PM

Rambo is a great movie.

10/15/2009 8:31:14 AM

^^are you gonna let those that disagree finish?

i just came in my pants

3/31/2010 4:47:02 PM

Not particularly excited about this movie, though I probably will see it.

Mostly I came in here to say that that poster is fucking awesome.

3/31/2010 4:49:36 PM

most insane summer explosion shooting fest since Shoot Em Up and Rambo 4

i will see this.

3/31/2010 4:52:05 PM

!!!

4/2/2010 7:55:31 AM

Best movie concept of the year!

<3 the concept of mindless violence on purpose

4/2/2010 8:46:43 AM

this will be a good movie to see when i'm in a bad mood

that's how i was whn i saw shoot em up, and it only made the experience better

4/2/2010 10:28:13 AM

Yeah, I can't wait for this! When I got out of Rambo 4 I felt like I wanted to fight someone. It was testosterone overload, just like I'm sure this will be!

4/2/2010 4:54:22 PM

^i got heaeadbutted coming out of 300 by an asshole who got "inspired" by the movie

4/2/2010 5:19:30 PM

I wonder if it's going to have a quick montage of Randy Couture getting ripped in 11 minutes a day using Tower200 in a doorway.

4/2/2010 5:47:49 PM

Looks great. I am pumped about this film. Van Damme will be mad he opted out of this movie. He needs to surround himself around icons. Oh well, would have been great to have him, but this movie will be great mindless actions with great "on-liners".

I also wish Willis/Swartz would have bigger roles...but damn they have a cast that will strike fear in anyone.
