Another Badass Added To THE EXPENDABLES??

Published at:  Aug 18, 2009 9:52:06 AM CDT


Merrick here...


For a while now we've been hearing scuttlebutt (what the hell kind of word is that, anyway?) that Bruce Willis would make some kind of appearance in Stallone's THE EXPENDABLES. The film's cast already includes Stallone, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, Steve Austin, Randy Couture, Eric Roberts, and Terry Crews.

Although rumors of his involvement were persistent, the below quote represents the first officialish comment on the matter...coming from Bruce himself.


The “Die Hard” star confirmed to MTV News that he is leaving time open on his schedule to shoot a cameo for “The Expendables,” the ultra-violent, star-studded action flick written/directed by and starring Sylvester Stallone. Sly is currently putting the finishing touches on the movie, which also stars Jason Statham, Jet Li and Mickey Rourke as mercenaries overthrowing a South American dictator. Willis said that the he will soon join Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger to shoot a very special scene for the flick.

“Not yet, I haven’t united with them,” said Willis. “I’m waiting for a call from Sly about when we’re going to try and make that happen.”


...Willis told MTV's Movie Blog HERE.

With this cast, and the promise of breathtaking carnage, is Sly making the ultimate man movie here? I get that feeling...

    And I hated the action scene of the '80s when it was happening but all of those films look like classics compared to the skip frame wire fu slo-mo garbage that passes for action in this day and age.
    I LOVED Rambo IV and it was in no small part due to Mr. Stallone being such an amazing sport on these forums. I hope this film does very very well.

    The Cannonball Run is a great trash movie. Seeing's how Oceans 11 is played out, Clooney & Co. should revive the Cannonball Run series -- that is if anyone in the corporate Hollywood system could drop the PC BS for two seconds and make a fun film about fantasy irresponsibility for adult human beings again.

    That may be true for Jean-Claude at his home, but their reputations are pretty null and void to most people here in the states. I mean, Seagal's DTV movies are jokes. The fat headed pony tail one just generates laughs now. Jean Claude is still fit and looks like he could still be an action star. I'm very psyched to see this.

    I just watched Rambo on cable

    by jaka

    First time I'd seen it. If Sly is going for the same type of violence in The Expendables then we might need to invent a word more powerful than "ultra". Some of the most realistic carnage from large size amo I've ever seen on film. Nasty and gross, but very realistic. Big ass bullets don't put a hole in you, they blow your shit to pieces. PG-13 would clearly remove that possibility, though. And honestly, with all those folks in the film that you KNOW Sly wants to help have a major blockbuster hit on the resume, PG13 does seem likely. Interesting comparison with the Ocean's movies. They proved it works with a caper flick, lets see if they can pull it off with an action movie. Why isn't Jean Claude Van Damme in there? I never really cared for him all that much as an actor. But as far as action goes, seems like he should be there for a cameo, at least.

    Stallone already said he tried to get him but his manager said "Kurt's not looking for ensemble work right now." I bet he or Van Damme might reconsider for a sequel, but Seagal supposedly turned it down because he just recently got out of a contract with the producer Danny Lerner and has bad blood with him. At least he has MACHETE.

    by skimn

    The Player, Oceans 12, Fast Food Nation, Planet Terror, etc. etc. I think the man has more cameos than full fledged roles on his resume. You know he's gonna show up, squint, say a few lines, and smirk. Now, if he followed that by jumping off a building, then I'd say okay.

    Acting MIIIIIGHT be the next career for Iron Mike. It seems possible and somewhat likely. Guess it will depend on what projects he does/can get. That tattoo isn't even a problem - they're easy to cover with makeup. Burt? I don't know, he's kind of gone all douchey. Lou, never REALLY an actor. Carl and Mr. T - can't see it. Jackie Chan would be cool, but his english dialogue and action style tend to make his american films more comedic (in a martial arts slapstick kinda way). Sam Elliot, Kris Kristofferson AND Michael Ironside = fuck yes! Love to see all three of them in more films.

Flash more than an ass cheek and you're much more likely to get an R. Killing people = cool. Abundance of titties = bad. America needs to wake up a bit in this regard (yes, I realize most of us know this already).

    Nah, makes good sense. American movies have always used "evil for powers" as villains. But if somebody does use a North American baddy it can't be yet ANOTHER demand for billions of dollars or the threat of taking down computer systems. The problem there is that outside of those two "threats", everything else starts moving into the gray areas of terrorism. We're still WAY too uptight about such things for that to really work. Successfully, anyway. I guess they could try kidnapping. lol

  • Hello, if you've been paying attention to Sheryl Main's twitter and her wordpress blog, it's been known for a while, that "The Expendables" is all finished with filming, except the only thing left is the important Arnie, Bruce, and Sly scene.

    Don't assume that the Bruce, Arnie, and Sly scene could be a quick cameo because think how much work they can put in with a full day of filming. The Bruce, Arnold, and Sly scene could be a good 15 to 20 minutes long.

    Bruce made it clear this scene will be very special and it won't dissapoint us fans.

    So I think the scene will be longer. Maybe Bruce, Arnie and Sly sitting around at a table in a scene talking and maybe even an action scene with those three since it was rumoured that Arnold is going to come in driving a huge truck.

    They waited this long because Bruce was busy filming Kevin Smith's movie "A Couple of Dicks" in NYC, that's why they had to wait this long for the confirmation of Bruce in "Expendables".

    I'm so psyched for this movie and I look forward to seeing this movie than anything else out there now. Bring it on Sly!

    Commented earlier in this thread about the badassery that is the latest Rambo. But if Sly had chosen to go another way with it, which he's said he would like to do, so long as it's a solid film I (personally) don't stress on the rating at all. But I love animation and documentaries, a lot. Very few of those are rated R, and if a doc is it's usually because it's "real life" disturbing.

    This is good news. I especially want to see Arnold acting again. Poor guy can't catch a break lately. So knowing this is happening in the near future makes me happy. :D

    by gibsonusa returns

    During the end credits, there should be a million cameos.

    During the credits they should show different perspectives of earlier scenes in the movie

    For example, say during the movie there's a guy in the distant background sitting by a tree...but during the end credits it's revealed to be CHOW YUN FAT that was sitting there!
    Like a million of these with all these action stars.

    Stallone wanted this to have everyone

    by beane2099

    He personally offered a role to Van Damme, and Segal and both turned it down for their own reasons. He wrote a part for Snipes who was otherwise occupied, which was then offered to Forrest Whittaker, who accepted but then had to drop out due to scheduling conficts. The part is now held by Terry Crews. He also talked to Arnold, Bruce, and Kurt. No mention of Chuck Norris though. Whoever doesn't make it in this movie will most likely be in a sequel.

    In Hollywood, the music industry, etc., it's always, "We're trying to get together to make it happen." "When can we make that happen?" "We're most assuredly looking forward to making it happen." If "do it" is too secks-like, how about "accomplish that particular enterprise"?
