AICN Exclusive premiere: EXPENDABLES 2 one-sheet!
Hey folks, Harry here... that poster that made the rounds a couple weeks back, according to Lionsgate, that wasn't their poster and they don't know where it came from. But this here... this is the EXPENDABLES 2 poster that Lionsgate has come up with, and I have to say... it certainly makes an impression! The names in this one are even more amazing than in the first film. I seriously don't know what my brain will do seeing Norris and Van Damme alongside Willis, Arnold and Sly. That seems like something that even the boys at Los Alamos wouldn't have dared put together. Right? Just too much awesome. Enjoy the poster:

Every movie should have ALSO VAN DAMME.

Wowza, but its still pretty dumb compared to DKR poster. Anyone know when we'll get a full trailer for this?

BEEYOTCH
-
The original poster was way better. I'm betting that other one was rejected because someone got butthurt?
Also, is it just me or is that a Metal Gear in the background? -
it's LIAM not CHRIS... why are they pimping his name on the poster so much? does anyone even know who LIAM is besides the fact he shares the same name with his brother Thor???
what's going on here? why is he one of the highlight here?? this is bullocks -
they chose Sly Stone only? really?
ps: the ONLY Sly movie I liked was Demolition Man... and thats only cuz of Simon Phoenix...
pps: GET WESLEY IN PART 3!!! -
Im sure he is the next Sam Worthington... so basically, get ready to groan at him being in movies you may actually want to watch in the next 3 years
-
...I hope this movie does well. But that poster is cheesy as all hell, man.
-
Rest in peace.
-
because the first was one of the worst in the last few years, seriously
-
The first one was decent.
-
Played a wheelchair-bound schoolboy in Neighbours.
That's all I know him from... -
Simple. Striking. Great poster. And it's obviously not the final one-sheet, so don't worry, the rest of the cast will surely be featured in the next one. I love that this one is Sly solo, because even though it's an ensemble, these movies really are his baby.
-
Lights out, MEATBALL!!!!
-
did not make the cut.
-
He'd probably render Norris into pate without breaking a sweat, if he had to sweat he'd still look awesome. Plus he has a sense of humour, which is probably important when watching yourself in "White Chicks " although I always liked "Everyone Hates Chris ", favourite line? "He was the only black out in a whiteout"....
Also, he carries the best piece of artillery in the last movie, what next? An underarm mirv launcher? -
Why no mention of Adkins? He has more big screen action credits than Hemsworth and Couture. Hopefully his appearance in this film turns out well. He deserves that much.
-
Don't remember anyone who was actually expendable in first one. Or does it refer to the actors?
-
Since there are none.
No story. No characters. Just splosions and gunfire. -
Precisely because of his brother, they're obviously banking on people confusing the two. If there were no Thor, Hemsworth wouldn't be anywhere on the poster or teaser.

This is the only movie that really needs a floating heads poster!
by ditko
I wouldn´t put it on my wall, but it would get people´s asses on theater sits. Arnold, Willis, Norris, JCVD and Sly's heads, and a big explosion in the middle.
-
The poster should have Chuck, Arnie, JCVD, and Bruce all over it. Surely the reason most will be seeing this? And Seagal should have sucked up his pride and gone for this, we all know Van Damme would have won that fight anyway. It'd be good to see him in something that wasn't straight to video for a change.

@onezeroone Mickey Rourke gets killed in the beginning of the film.
by killik
which is ironic if you think that he is the only one true actor in all that cast.
-
Certainly seen a lot worse.
Feels like lionsgate is putting a lot more money into this one. -
So far, the teaser trailer (the best of all time) and this awesome destruction looking poster is what will make EX2 challenge THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS and AVENGERS as the movie to beat next summer. Schwarzenegger's gun alone will fuck up the entire team of Avengers lol
-
Reminds me of the poster for THE RAID - kinda.
-

shoulda got the whole cast writing the title in snow with pee
by spandau belly
we could see how these guys really measure up.
-
Cannot wait for this fucker, CAN NOT WAIT.
-
... I liked the "Christmas Tree of Testosterone" poster more I think. It was an improved version of that wierd line-up shot from Ex1 too.
This one isn't bad and it reminds me of the Robocop 2 poster a bit, but WHY wouldn't you throw every big star on the poster to sell the bloody film? -
wha?

This is why sequels are not the bane of existence as many claim.
by royston lodge
Sequels are not evil, per se.
Clearly. -
i havent seen it. :/

This should say ALSO VAN DAMME WITH BRUCE WILLIS AND SCHWARZENEGGER WITH SPECIAL GUEST AUTO-SHOTGUN!
by dogmatic
b/c let's face it.....the auto-shotgun deserves its own billing.

What would have been awesome fifteen years ago feels like a desperate paycheck today.
by burnhollywood
What about Mr. T? He needs work!
-
He might have meant this one.

Undisputed III is better than any movie these guys had made in the last five years. Me speako bad ingles, i know.
-
Not liking the design...

I freaking LOVE it!!! I love the Dr. Seuss unicycle of action stars,
by sweeneydave
but I LOVE the stylish simplicity of this one! It's advertising the theme rather than the story and I like that lots.
-
Brian Cox was great in part one
-
Yeah, the impression that this poster is just incredibly bland.
-
chuck norris will find u and shove your computer up your ass
-
Are they going to kill off Jet Li instead? I know the plan was to kill off Rourke, but then he didn't return for the sequel. And I heard Li has a small part this time. So is he taking Rourke's slot as the character who gets killed early on and motivates the revenge plot?
-
Now that you've said Demolition Man 2, thats all I can see when looking at that poster (and I have no shame in admitting that that's also a movie I would watch).
-
So fuck off, agnostic, aetheist, druid or whatevr the fuck you are. If you are peeing in your pants because you drunkard egomaniac leader is dead, go cry a river posting on Vanity Fair's web blog. No one gives a fuck about Christopher "bottle o' wine for breakfast" Hitchens here. Or you for that matter.
-
Especially since its not his brother
-
The first poster made me 10x more likely to see the movie than this one. Now that they managed to get nearly everyone, I would much rather see something more over-the-top parody than the first one...like more in the vein of "Machete" or "Last Action Hero." They tried to go serious last time and it sucked...Instead of targeting today's 12-year-olds they need to give a nod back to their real fans!
-
Not bad.
-
People make shirts and comments extolling the toughness of Chuck Norris only because Steven Seagal allows them to in order to maintain his CIA cover.

wacko_jackos_drug_filled_corpse has his cock in his hand....

waiting for people to reply to him so if no one does (after me), he'll jump out of the nearest window and we'll all have a laugh reading about it tomorrow if the newspapers bother to write about it.

Upset that C. Hitchens beat me to see God first. Just hoped he changed his mind
by fandude7
I would have loved to have seen his face upon the first thing he saw or was aware of.
-
had hoped for those guys to have a more involved role in this one, particularly bruce and arnie... don't want a glorified cameo again; that worked fine for the first one, but i wanted sly, bruce and arnie trading off put-downs in the middle of heavy artillery action... oh well...
seagal and rourke being out is a bit of a letdown, too, but not as bad as the "big 3" not being completely the lead characters here...
and i realize this is sly's project from the start, but you've got to have the other guys' mugs on there... that's what drawing us in... -
Black uniform plus a black beret. Takes me back to the days when Dennis Leary lived in the sewers and you had to clean your cheeks with some sorta 3-sea shells device after taking a dump.
Damn. We need a Demolition Man sequel after Expendables 2. Get Verhoeven! I'm sure we could all go for another kick ass sci-fi/action/satire. -
Equal parts good, equal parts bad, just like a lot of (the better) Stallone pics. Which, in some strange way, is what makes the guy so damn endearing. Just like his most famous two characters, they succeed, thru sheer heart and determination, despite themselves... -
Dec 17, 2011 3:20:31 PM CST
The poster is appropriate, because The Expendables is nothing more than a Stallone ego trip, as most of his other vanity projects are.
by the krypton kid
-
It can't be...
Stallone is nothing but a nuclear equipped walking death mobile -
Cheesy looking as fuck. Looks like some lame-ass A&E TV reality show poster.
Actually, on second thought, a reality TV show only about old action stars would probably be more random chance of being entertaining than how this will play out. -
but I'll settle for these crusty asskickers. Chicken lickin' is lickin' chickens.
-
There is no way Willis, Schwarzeneggar, Van Damme, Norris and Stallone will be on screen at the same time in the same shot.
All those names but there is one glaring ommison.
Where is Cena? ;) -
brain film brain film brain film brain film
-
Sly should get him for part 3...
-
Wow -- totally underwhelming official poster. It certainly leaves an impression -- of my keyboard on my forehead as I fall asleep looking at that piece of garbage. Unfortunately, it falls right in line with the PG-13 rating. All they have to do now is to dress the stars in tights and give them masks. What a friggin' joke.
