ain't it terrible news by Juror Number 8	Mar 18th, 2009 05:34:57 PM
damn, i was really looking forward to whitaker in this movie. 50 cent was horrendous in "get rich or die trying", a film made semi-watchable by terrence howard and mr. eko from lost. its a bit disappointing to go from an oscar-winner to a rapper/part-time (shitty) actor. it wont stop me from seeing "the expendables" though, the cast is just to badass to resist.
is everyone playing Resident Evil 5... by SpawnofAchilles	Mar 18th, 2009 05:35:28 PM
or what? Well, back to RE5.

Is there only one black actor in hollywood? by Mr_X	Mar 18th, 2009 05:38:10 PM
seriously? one is a oscar winning actor. the other is a fucking rapper! who fucking casts these movies? Give Razaaq Adoti a shot
DAMN, DAMN, DAMN by BlackJesus	Mar 18th, 2009 05:38:27 PM
We need Ghost Dog
Van Damme should be in this by SpawnofAchilles	Mar 18th, 2009 05:38:44 PM
What the hell is he thinking?? I really think he thinks that he's too good for it and I hope that's not the case. JCVD was fucking awesome, loved it, but this would be a great move for him I think, rather then Bloodsport 2 where he beats his kid or whatever he said in that hilarious interview. (Do BS2 after!)
LETS BOYCOTT RAPPERS ON FILM by BlackJesus	Mar 18th, 2009 05:39:31 PM
No MORE RAPPER. There are plenty of out of work actors trying to work.
stringer bell!! by Juror Number 8	Mar 18th, 2009 05:40:01 PM
the actor who plays stringer bell from the wire needs more work!! he's too awesome to not be in anything, and if all this role requires is the ability to be black and menacing, sign him up for the job!!
For a movie fueled on testosterone... by AnarchyWorldsEnd	Mar 18th, 2009 05:40:55 PM
makes sense to me. Given a role to fit his... ahem... "acting" abilities, it could work.
honestly, while he is probably the most talented by RKDN	Mar 18th, 2009 05:41:04 PM
he's the least interesting in this bunch. This movie isn't going to be an oscar contender.

Sucks, but I still think 50 has a great performance in him by dr sauch	Mar 18th, 2009 05:42:54 PM
This could be it. This is his chance. The bar can't be much lower lol.

This is going to be a retarded kick ass movie.
He probably saw sense. by metaluna	Mar 18th, 2009 05:44:34 PM
Forrest doesn't need to be in this dreck.
BAH...the only rapper who can act is Mos Def.. by sonnyfern	Mar 18th, 2009 05:54:46 PM
All the others just play up their gangsta image. Ice Cude would've been a lot better...
THE BIGGEST MOVIE STAR IN THE WORLD WAS A RAPPER!! by kenyonnoble	Mar 18th, 2009 05:57:15 PM
Will Smith...also a 2 time oscar nominee, another rapper/ oscar nominee Queen Latifah. Not saying 50 is on their level,but you can't just dismiss someone because they rap
That's like going from De Niro to Kirk Cameron. by blackmantis	Mar 18th, 2009 05:57:40 PM

Hey Fuckers, 50 Cent is a real Superhero! by ganymede3010	Mar 18th, 2009 06:01:22 PM
The muthafucka was shot nine times and lived. Can Sly, Stone Cold,Ray Couture,Jetli, Danny Trejo, or Dolp Lundren say that? *crickets*
Almost forgot about Marky (good vibrations) Wahlberg by kenyonnoble	Mar 18th, 2009 06:01:54 PM
also an oscar nominee that came from being a rapper...er..or whatever you call the music he made
Kurt russell, sharon stone, val kilmer, michael biehn by coltrautman	Mar 18th, 2009 06:01:55 PM
are needed for this film...
im willing to give 50cent a chance.. by coltrautman	Mar 18th, 2009 06:02:49 PM
I mean hes playing a mercenary its not like it will require MUCH acting talent...its stallones vision afterall....maybe sly can pull out a good performance?
50 cent sucks monkey ass. by Fenrisulfr	Mar 18th, 2009 06:03:46 PM
Seriously Sly, WTF? I wouldn't even want him in the film if he was to receive a beating from Dolph or the Stat...
this movie has 4 actors from "13" thats out this year by coltrautman	Mar 18th, 2009 06:04:52 PM
mickey rourke, jason statham, 50 cent and david zayas
C'mon Sly, there are plenty of African American actors by skimn	Mar 18th, 2009 06:06:11 PM

THAT KINDA SUCKS! by ABking	Mar 18th, 2009 06:11:08 PM
Was looking forward to Forest Whitaker being in this. Don't know what to think about 50 Cent...
Dr Dre was in Training Day by liljuniorbrown	Mar 18th, 2009 06:13:25 PM
And he wasn't horrible for the role that he had. I would have went with Wesley Snipes, oh wait, shit he's in jail right? They can let him out for like a wekk to do this right? Free Wesley Snipes for a week! Is that to much to put on a t-shirt?
Can't help it, but when I see Curtis Jackson by skimn	Mar 18th, 2009 06:13:52 PM
in a role, I can't see the character. I think "Oh, its Fiddy Cent".
This is okay as long as he is killed off fast. by TheDudeballAbides	Mar 18th, 2009 06:15:10 PM
Just like Steven Segal in Executive Decision.
Righteous Kill by drewlicious	Mar 18th, 2009 06:16:01 PM
Has anyone else seen him in this? No talent, no charisma, nothing. The camera hates him almost as much as I do.

Shot 9 times by sheepshagger	Mar 18th, 2009 06:21:17 PM
yeah had it shot up his ass nine times! 50 cent is a cunt.
Shot 9 times my ass... by Fenrisulfr	Mar 18th, 2009 06:26:14 PM
Is this even true? Or is it just more of this "yo-yo-nigga I'm so badass" gangsta crap? A pity no one shot him in the fucking face.
this sucks. by theneonsamurai	Mar 18th, 2009 06:29:37 PM
Whitaker is an amazing actor, 50 cent is not.
50 Cent? LAME. by Mr. Waturi	Mar 18th, 2009 06:33:07 PM
Will still see the movie, but the addition of Stone Cold and now 50 Cent is definitely taking this movie down a notch.
Why not Carl Weathers? by TheDudeballAbides	Mar 18th, 2009 06:35:56 PM
Apollo Creed should be in this film. Not 50 cent.
50 cent is not "acting", folks. by Fenrisulfr	Mar 18th, 2009 06:40:53 PM
So do not use the verb "to act" in the same sentence as 50 cent. 50 cent is just being 50 cent. In his diarrhea-inducing music. In his videoclips. In his crappy games. In his movies. He is just that. 50 cent.
Why not... by Hasselhoffflying	Mar 18th, 2009 06:41:39 PM
forget about 50cents and get Carla Gugina to do a nude scene????

He was never a martial artist, yet somehow managed to make people believe he was - not.
And why wasn't Ralf Moeller cast in this film? by Fenrisulfr	Mar 18th, 2009 06:46:01 PM

Carl Weathers by drewlicious	Mar 18th, 2009 06:51:15 PM
Has he ever embarassed himself in movie based on his own life story? I didn't think so. All Dolph had to do in Rocky was grunt by the way.

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!? by br1947	Mar 18th, 2009 06:56:47 PM
You're ok with replacing Forrest Whitaker with a fucking half retarded rapper who is famous for being a very easy target??? Ok, hand over your movie geek card, you do not deserve it anymore.
I din't know Carl Weathers changed his name to 50cent. by The_Genteel_Gentile	Mar 18th, 2009 07:02:59 PM
What's that?...AHHH HELL NAH!
All you people talking shit about 50... by vanchimera	Mar 18th, 2009 07:06:47 PM
... do you really know anything about him beyond "he's a rapper," because seriously, he can't be any worse than Randy Coutoure. Seriously, the movie can't possibly suck. With a cast list like this, don't expect 50 to have much more than 10 minutes onscreen, 8 of those in the background. Get over something, for once in your lives.
Agent Sands by Phimseto	Mar 18th, 2009 07:09:30 PM
I'm telling you: if that's the character's name, get Johnny Depp. Hell, make him as blind as he is at the end of Once Upon a Time In Mexico. Don't explain it, just go with it. But if you can't or won't, I agree with getting Bill Duke. Leave 50 Cent to his bloodletting on the sand.
MARIO. VAN. PEEBLES. by hamslime	Mar 18th, 2009 07:09:52 PM
Make it happen. The guy from Redbelt (Chiwetel Ejiofor sp?) wouldn't be a bad idea either.

according to stallonezone... agent sands still remains uncast...
worst trade ever? by Charlie Murphy	Mar 18th, 2009 07:13:55 PM

Laurence Fishburne, Chewitor Ejiofor, Don Cheadle, Bill Duke by Itto Ogami loses Daigoro	Mar 18th, 2009 07:14:43 PM
David Keith, Carl Weathers All better alternatives than Fiddy!
It's so nice, I said it twice. by hamslime	Mar 18th, 2009 07:14:49 PM

50 cent should run Blackwater. by hallmitchell	Mar 18th, 2009 07:16:15 PM
That would be badass. Yet I personally would have gone for Bill Duke as a replacement. Just matches the eighties badass vibe of this film.
Bill Duke and Keith David all the way by JuanSanchez	Mar 18th, 2009 07:16:23 PM

Not as bad as you think... by REAL6	Mar 18th, 2009 07:20:13 PM
My first post. wuuuhuuuu.. But anyway, as much as i would love to see Forrest in this. Ok 50's new stuff is all bad, really bad. But knowing about the man, he is very intelligent and very funny. The man was the second most paid black person after Oprah last year. So he must be doing something right. Its just the fake image he's doing to get his music across. So i have faith in SLY!!! Directors are known to pull something wonderful out of someone thats horrible. Give both of them some slack!!!
and one more thing... by REAL6	Mar 18th, 2009 07:22:19 PM
I wish Kurt Russell and Michel Biehn would be placed in the last 2 spots. But why couldnt sly have gotten Bill Duke or Keith David of all people Esp. Keith to be in it!!!
L.L. Cool J. by filegumbo	Mar 18th, 2009 07:22:25 PM
Buff and ripped.
Kurt wasn't interested... that sucks. by Fenrisulfr	Mar 18th, 2009 07:23:52 PM
But man, I wish he reconsidered 50 cent. Hire Michael Jai White for fuck's sake !
Blackwater has rebranded as Xe by blackmantis	Mar 18th, 2009 07:24:29 PM
Because Blackwater just sounded so intrinsically evil. They might have well called themselves Shady Bastards.

The only two people that were actors before rappers were Tupac and Mos Def. Get your facts stright. Everyone else from Ja rule to queen la, to dmx to ll cool j to this person to that person was a rapper turned actor.
sly r u crazy by dem0	Mar 18th, 2009 07:26:25 PM

BILL MOTHERFUCKING DUKE by Mullah Omar	Mar 18th, 2009 07:33:16 PM
...could scowl 50 Cent to death. This casting news sucks. Get Bill Duke or Keith David if you need a badass black dude, because those guys are proven quantities in action films. As for Carl Weathers, no thanks, not after he snubbed ROCKY BALBOA.
The quote that sums up 50 Cent by Vern	Mar 18th, 2009 07:34:58 PM
"I'm creating a foundation that will be around for a long time, because fame can come and go or get lost in the lifestyle and the splurging. I never got into it for the music. I got into it for the business." (from a Forbes interview) I got nothing against rappers acting, and it's true that he isn't THAT much worse of an actor than Randy Couture (although he's bad enough that they had to put a baby in his hands on the cover of his movie to create the illusion that his face held some sort of expression). But I'll just say I do not understand the popularity of 50 Cent. He sounds like he's got a mouth full of rocks and whenever he gets interviewed he finds a way to say some stupid bullshit like "I love Bush, he's a gangsta" or like in the interview above where he mentions more than once that he only cares about putting out products that will make money and does not care what it is. I'm sure the people who buy his crappy albums will thank him. Yes, that kind of moronic materialism is common in hip hop but that doesn't excuse it. The guy is stupid. Too bad to see him in this movie but I think it can survive. I hope Dolph or Jet kicks some enunciation into his head.
"whenever he gets interviewed he finds a way to say some stupid by Fenrisulfr	Mar 18th, 2009 07:38:49 PM
And that's precisely why everyone here calls him a retard. Hell, wasn't he supposed to manufacture 50 cent dildos at one time?
sorry.... by dem0	Mar 18th, 2009 07:42:09 PM
i dont mean to be negative, cuz obviously we're all ,without a doubt, super pumped for this movie...its just that we've all seen 50 cent in other movies..and quite simply, he cant act...either way still extremely excited for this movie..
ADEWALE AKINNOUYE-AGBAJE by Mullah Omar	Mar 18th, 2009 07:43:13 PM
...aka Simon Adebisi from OZ, aka Mr. Eko from LOST. If you need a semi-young badass black dude, this is your man. Adebisi was one of the baddest motherfuckers on TV, ever. If Bill Duke is unavailable, Sly needs to cast this guy and his little tilted hat for this film.

for the love of god..... by dem0	Mar 18th, 2009 07:47:03 PM
for the love of god please dont cast 50 cent.....please god please
Adebisi. Good call by big_twinkie	Mar 18th, 2009 07:48:00 PM
I for one would love to see him best Jet Li one-on-one, before butt-fucking him whilst listening to his walkman. Anyone else? No? Ok

Why the fuck not?
Vern, remember Exit Wounds? by Fenrisulfr	Mar 18th, 2009 07:51:12 PM
You say "I hope Dolph or Jet kicks some enunciation into his head". You perfectly know this won't happen. Remember DMX and Seagal in Exit Wounds? Remember their brief exchange when DMX gets off his car. Steven should have destroyed his ass, but nope, as a rapper, he had an image and couldn't lose face. And this is exactly what is going to happen here with 50 cent. He won't have his ass kicked by anyone, and will play on the same level as Sly or Dolph. He won't get his ass kicked by anyone in this film, and this pisses me off. That a punk like him gets to be alongside this legendary cast, when he's not even worth it.
This could be awesome by Magnum Opus	Mar 18th, 2009 07:58:22 PM
if 50 is getting the living shit kicked out of him in every scene he's in.
Oooh oooh! by Magnum Opus	Mar 18th, 2009 07:59:32 PM
I got it! Fiddy can play a punching bag and hang in the gym just to absorb poundings from the rest of the cast. I would pay to see that.
SAMUEL. L. JACKSON. by S_Rorschach	Mar 18th, 2009 08:05:03 PM
dont go telling me this is the one muthafuckin movie he wont be muthafuckin in.
Punching bag? by Fenrisulfr	Mar 18th, 2009 08:05:03 PM
Actually it'd be funnier if he had a cameo where Doph discovers him in the basement of the general's villa (think Commando) being gang-raped.
I think you guys are over-reacting by coltrautman	Mar 18th, 2009 08:05:56 PM
I mean with a great cast like this is 1 person really going to make THAT big of a difference? we'll see him on screen maybe 10minutes at most...and in the background most of the time...Now I Hate this casting choice(and its the only one thats upset me so far with this movie) 1 supporting role certainly isnt stopping me from watching this movie.
Will Smith is the best star in the world? by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 18th, 2009 08:07:34 PM

As far as rapper/actors go I suppose you could do worse (see Xibit in XXX2) but this brings absolutely nothing to the movie - at least get Ice Cube!
ehhh by yobogus	Mar 18th, 2009 08:16:18 PM
good point coltrautman... obviously this casting choice isnt gonna keep me from seeing this movie either, however going from forrest whitaker caliber and plunging down to the bottom of the barrel for 50 cent just puts a damper on this for me...however small the part of agent will sands may or may not be, having someone in the role at the level of forrest whitaker was just plain awesome, 50 cant act and nobody can make him act... ps still pumped as hell for this movie

Which Forrest Whitaker would've appeared? by Jesiah	Mar 18th, 2009 10:49:46 PM
I first started noticing him when I was a kid when he was some paranormal type dude in Species. I've seen him in plenty of softspoken roles since, heck he even hosted The Twilight Zone utilizing that aspect of himself. So when I saw him in Fast Times at Ridgemont High playing this big burly badass it was kind of a switch for me. But at least he pulled it off. I'm used to David Arquette playing a goofy dumbass, and when I saw him on an old episode of 90210 or some piece of shit like that trying to be a badass in a leather biker jacket I completely didn't buy it. But Whitaker would've been coo' in Expendables. They should get SASHA MITCHELL from Step By Step and the Kickboxer flickes (after Van Damme). I always thought he could've been a bigger star, you know if he hadn't allegedyly kicked his pregnant wife in the head that is.

Why not Kimbo Slice? by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 19th, 2009 12:33:56 AM
Nothing against 50 Cent at all (best to him), and I had previously said we already had Couture so no need for Kimbo....but in my opinion Kimbo would have resulted in more cheers, just my opinion.
On second, thought, 50 Cent is probably for the best. by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 19th, 2009 12:37:24 AM
American action star - Stallone. English action star - Statham. Hong Kong action star - Jet Li. MMA star - Randy Couture WWF star - Steve Austin Rap star - 50 Cent This is covering the basis for cross-demographic appeal. When you think about it, its kind of awesome!
But still no NFL star.... by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 19th, 2009 12:39:01 AM
Maybe should have picked Lawrence Taylor or Michael Irvin something...Or Terrell Owens lol. That'll get attention.

"Stupid" sells. The more outlandish, idiotic, slutty, thuggish, ignorant someone is..the more the fans eat that shit up. This is true of most modern entertainment mediums, not just Hip Hop...people today like things that don't challenge them and appeal to their base instinct. Hence the shit like Beverly Hill Chihuahua and Transformers making Bank, and fucking Hanna Montana, Pussycat Dolls, Katie Perry and Jonahs brothers being multi-platinum. Face it dude..the retards are in charge.

AHHHHHHHHH
I say again. Stallone really should cast... by scriptgirl_nipples	Mar 19th, 2009 02:25:33 AM
Jeff Bridges, as the small but show stealing crazy machine gun wielding character.
Eric Roberts by Zoviet Squid	Mar 19th, 2009 02:27:57 AM
Curtis Jackson is fine, IMO - the guy bleeds charisma when he's inspired. What really sells this to me is replacing that bitch Kingsley with Eric FUCKING Roberts, though. Sly, I love you - your casting this is impeccable.
COUNT ME IN SLY!! by ckone	Mar 19th, 2009 02:39:22 AM

Bad move by Darth Thoth	Mar 19th, 2009 03:23:56 AM
Now, I'm actually think 50 may pull off a good performance in the flick but this is still a bad move Sly. I give you the benefit of the doubt but in my opinion, this is a bad move. There are literally a 1000 other actors who would do better in this role, many of them already listed in this talkback. Going from Forrest to 50 is like going from Pacino to Justin Timberlake. Or better yet, the Limp Biscuit dude. Or better yet, going from Pacino to Eminem. Really. And from another angle, it sucks that once again, we have rappers filling in acting roles. Listen, I bleed hip-hop. Real hip-hop. Not the crap that's out in the mainstream today. So I have nothing against rappers acting. But I do have a problem when Hollywood overlooks black actors. Not MCs turned actors. Black actors. Shawn Wayans joke about it in Don't Be A Menace While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood summed it up perfectly. But it's true. Again, I trust Sly. And I wish 50 the best (even though I think he's a total scumbag). But in my opinion, this is a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE move. And another thing, why can't we have more than one black actor in the flick. I'm just saying...
MICHAEL DUDIKOFF should star in this by Gorgomel	Mar 19th, 2009 03:24:20 AM

If Kimbo Slice is hired.... by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 19th, 2009 03:33:51 AM
...there has to be a scene in it where someone's trying to punch him to no effect and he's like "HIT ME MUTHAFUCKA! HIT ME!"...and he has to be wearing those white shorts...lol just kidding.
I trust Sly by Davidia	Mar 19th, 2009 03:33:53 AM
The guy is in touch with his fanbase more than any other action star today. He knows what we want, just check out Rambo and Rocky Balboa. I let this slide and see how it turns out.
Just lost interest... by Mr. Profit	Mar 19th, 2009 03:38:47 AM
Fuck I'm no fan of Wonky McFatso. But to replace him with the crybaby Curtis Jackson, an egomaniac who needs to start beef with another rapper in order to sell records is fucking lame. Curtis is a sucker. His CD is in Interscope jail right now because bitch can't release a single people like. People are tired of his ass. He fell off. So why give him any fucking chance at being apart of throwback 80's badassery. Fuck Stallone for this. Shit if he was going to cast a rapper, cast Common. Or replace Wonky with Michael Jai White, or Boris Kodjoe, or any other black ACTOR who will put African American butts into those seats. Curtis? You should see the reactions the mutherfucker incites now. People hate him.
eric roberts is the man! by Darth Thoth	Mar 19th, 2009 03:39:00 AM

I'd like to say that Sly is awesome making up names. by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 19th, 2009 03:43:08 AM
Here you got guys named Toll Road, not to mention previous ones like Mason "The Line" Dixon...and of course Apollo Creed! I'm guessing Sly must have some method in making up these names but its so Sly...it's like his signature style of name and its cool! How about a character named CASH?? A person named Cash has to be a badass. Nobody fucks with a guy named CASH!! lol.
Also I'm not someone who hates rap... by Mr. Profit	Mar 19th, 2009 03:47:13 AM
I'm a dude who grew up in the South Bronx in the 80's and listen to Rap/Hip Hop daily. Not that my opinion matters, but I see people getting attacked about for "not knowing about rap". 50 Cent's musical career was over when Kanye destroyed him in 1st week sales when they went head to head. After that Curtis has been struggling to remain relevant. And his "beef" with rappers like Rick Ross is laughable. The dude is so fucking desperate. Again Stallone, why even cast him? It can't be a studio decision because if any studio head knew anything, they'd know the kiddies ain't checking for Curtis anymore. They've moved on. Recast the crybaby before it's too late with a better fucking actor or a less polarizing rapper with real acting skills. Fuck I'd even settle to hear LL Cool J replacing him. He's a throwback from the 80's that's still in incredible shape. It fits the film.

The director makes the actor? by hamslime	Mar 19th, 2009 04:25:11 AM
I agree with that. Anyone can be a good actor if the director has the patience and talent to get that out of them. Tarantino is a great example of that and if 50 Cent has the ambition to work hard and make it happen and more importantly Stallone believes in him then the best of luck. But I stand by original statement...MARIO. VAN. PEEBLES. He doesn't have to have to have Forrest's part, but he should at least be the key-grip, soldier #2, caterer or something. Just put that guy in there. I also second, third, fourth, to infinity any suggestion of Dudikoff. That guy has untapped potential that could land him an Oscar if given the right part.

I should also point out... by hamslime	Mar 19th, 2009 04:36:35 AM
...as Vern said, 50 Cent is all about business. He doesn't seem to care about art in any form. I know it may sound out of place to bring this up in about an action movie, but just because it isn't an indie movie about gays, politics, or homelessness doesn't mean there's not passion behind it. I just hope that Stallone has the balls to give Mr. Cent the boot if he's not willing to prove himself. ...Oh! And cast Mario Van Peebles.

in the UK there was a festival where 50 Cent was playing and we bottled him off stage within 10 minutes. Gangster my ass, he even cried stop it down the Mic. haha. Crap rapper and an even worse actor. I hope Sly can pull a miracle with 50 otherwise he has already handicapped this film.

There is a toilet in the house so please use it ..... and by toilet I'm referring to all the movies I don't watch that despicable shams like 50p and Paris Hilton usually show up in ....floaters ....clingons .....begone! As conspiracy said, the retards are in charge ...they are not merely in the building, they own the building ....but we gave it to them. 50p could get up there and put on a command performance but its not about that ....its about who he is, what he is and what he represents. Once the movie wraps he'll be back in his crib harping on about pimpin ho's, smackin bitches and capin fools while admiring his many pairs of bling encrusted dream-come-true sneakers. Its a crying shame.

Bass Ackwards by ominus	Mar 19th, 2009 05:57:09 AM
i dont think that whitaker left the cast.i believe that the movie's producer persuaded mr sly,to get a well-known rapper in his cast in order to widen the movies target group. thats holywoods practice for the last decade at least.u get a well-known rapper in an action movie,his name works as a PR factor for the movie,in order to make it know to his fandom and on the other,the movie acts as a PR factor for the rapper,so that the rest of the audience who goes for the action,will learn about this rapper. so its a deal that works well for both sides. ofcourse that doesnt mean that the movies quality wont suffer from this.especially when the rapper cant act his shit. its obvious that its all about a publicity stunt by stalonnes part.otherwise,as everyone else mentioned,there are hundres of good black actors who can fill this black character in the movie,so why stick to someone who doesnt act as an actor but rather as a diva. i understand that sly and the studio need to make this movie well known and make money of it,they are not making art ,they just entertain,but jesus christ why the fuck should cast 50cents???
I'm confused here.... by DCPete	Mar 19th, 2009 06:04:01 AM
I cannot for the life of me understand the negativity shown with any casting decision regarding this film. With all the positivity shown across the board at the earliest stages of dripfed info, The names Statham & Li were enough for people like myself to think Sly had made a very wise & interseting move going into his next motion picture (one I wasn't even sure we'd get from him) and the subsequent additions of Dolph(some of you guys jumped through the roof at this announcement) & then Rourke & Roberts & so on....the point is, he had most of us at the point of signing on to do another action movie....especially with the Stath & Li involved, it made for an interesting film. Some great names have come & gone but really, we were onboard from the get go & should take time out to reflect on that & wish him well with whatever decisions he sees fit in turning this potentially awesome movie into a reality.

PLUS: we need a young dude, a chick magnet who has the dramatic & funny side in him like jensen ackles, he`s great or josh halloway! do ur best...about fitty...i have no bad feelings about fitty, even if i would prefer dmx over fitty!
Sorry Sly by Nivek666	Mar 19th, 2009 06:52:19 AM
But this is like casting Katie Holmes in Batman Begins. Great cast, with one exception... Sorry to be negative, but like many others, this is the first bit of casting for your movie I really don't like.
I couldn't care less by Genre_Baby	Mar 19th, 2009 07:01:42 AM
As long as everyone delivers and the film is fun, I don't care who is cast. But I'm wondering why Dolph isn't mentioned in that list Sly provided? Over and out.
To make up for the loss of Whitaker... by OgreYouAsshole	Mar 19th, 2009 07:02:39 AM
Sly needs to create, in the short amount of time before production, ten new characters so every last 80's action icon can come aboard. I want Biehn AND Bill Paxton, Kurt Russell, Willis, Norris, Seagal, throw in Keith David because he's so goddamn cool, & how about Arnie's nemesis in Commando? Just a few ideas, you can fill in the rest.
Don't post things like "Ghost Dog" when you mean an actor... by JackPumpkinhead	Mar 19th, 2009 07:14:50 AM

Does 50 Cent (aka Curtis Jackson) know how to read? by Leafar the Lost	Mar 19th, 2009 07:50:42 AM
I am not joking. I know he can't act, but I wonder if this former drug dealer (and snitch) even knows how to read. 50 cent may not even show up on time to the set. There are easily 100 other well known African-American actors who could have replaced Forest Whitaker. This ia a huge mistake, Sly, and it may have ruined an otherwise great project. Wasn't Kimbo Slice available?
Seriously, I dont care about cast or what you all say by Crow3711	Mar 19th, 2009 07:57:10 AM
This movie is going to fucking terrible, unfortunately. Just look at their fucking names. Toll Road! What the fuck man, that isn't OTP funny, thats just fucking stupid. Hale Caesar? Tool? Lee Fucking Christmas? Come on man. Get real. Just because all you 80s junkies are jerking off the casting of this doesnt mean its going to be any good. The world stopped making horribly shitty action movies like this for a reason.

And yeah, the casting of this Fiddy whatever thing is terrible. by JackPumpkinhead	Mar 19th, 2009 08:07:48 AM
It's a carbuncle on Sly's body. Cut that Filthy Cent off now, before its head has fully formed and filled with pus that will infect the rest of the project. I barely know who he is, but even I don't need to read the comments revealing that he is worthless, moronic, illiterate criminal scum. It's enough to know that he's a damn "gangsta rapper"; that spells out all of the above things, and worse. I do hope a) that it wasn't Sly's decision; b) that it can be reversed; c) that if it can't, Sly will be able to marginalize the presence of this crapper and give him a fifty second "role".
Finally, if Sly needs to hire rappers... by JackPumpkinhead	Mar 19th, 2009 08:09:51 AM
...he should get that sad thing from the 90s, the "Vanilla Ice". And make him assistant dolly grip.

Seriously Sly..... by We_Are_Trapper_Keeper	Mar 19th, 2009 08:42:49 AM
This film had more fanboy support than anything i've seen lately, but to me, casting Randy Couture, Stone Cold, and especially 50 has greatly reduced my interest. There are plenty of badass ACTORS out there, we don't need real-life badasses who cant act. What's next, casting Bernie Madoff as the main villian?
Sly, the only people who hate rappers by ganymede3010	Mar 19th, 2009 08:44:56 AM
Are nerdy white hypersensitive internet fanboi's. They feel rejected on alot of levels because they weren't accepted when they were trying to be cool, by listening to rap music, wearing baggy clothes, while trying to talk and act black. Once they were ridiculed for being a wangsta, this is how they react when they're reminded of their social failures. So fear not Sly, the average inner city movie goer is going apeshit over this casting. It's only cold blooded suburban rejects who're pissed. And as you can see, this demographic is already sold on the concept. So who cares what they think. That's why you shouuld of cast more then one Black actor you fucking guinea.
The movie biz is all luck by tuttle300	Mar 19th, 2009 08:46:50 AM
It would have been nice to see Forrest in the film but crap happens. Truth be told- every single movie made is a happy accident (even the bad ones) But the "classics" that we love (like the Rocky and Rambo films) all fall under the same catagory--absolute luck. Once the script is written, EVERYBODY has an opinion and depending on how much power they have, their opinion has weight that has to be considered, weighed, and taken in and then the script is rewritten and it starts all over again. Then there are actors who are chosen and they may want a few script tweaks or (more importantly)they may want to know what other actors (who they may or may not like personally) are involved or being considered when they are thinking of taking the role or not. All actors want the work and they all want those incredible paychecks but sometimes the film experience (for two, three or even four months) isn't worth it if you have to work side by side with someone you can't stand. (which I should think is rare, but it is still a part of the process that may or may not affect the final product) After the script is completed, we're talking multiple fingerprints on the work and multiple opinions and timelines that clash and then the three month shoot (with minimum safety issues) and then the all important trailer, which also is a huge factor in "selling" the product and then finally, the fans themselves who decide wether or not to plunk down their 9 bucks (instead of the easier more convenient method of getting the film off the streets for 5 bucks) Then they themselves pass the word to their friends if they liked the film or not for that all important second weekend that gives the film"legs" After all of that-- the film moves into it's rightful place in movie history for better or worse. Then of course, depending on the bottom line, we might get lucky and Sly will be offered a chance at "Expendables II" In which case, the script will be written and it starts all over again. And maybe next time, luck will help us out and Forrest might return. Either way-- thanks Sly for the effort and patience you've put up with so far (in this process you know so well) I for one am looking forward to this.

Somebody who's not whining and actually knows what he's talking about: in Hollywood, you never know what's going to work out and what's not. My favorite recent what-if story is regarding Superman. When Brett Ratner was going to do Superman, he offered Josh Hartnett an absurd amount of money. Hartnett turned the role down --> which led to Ratner leaving the project --> which led to Singer taking it --> which led to Ratner taking X-Men 3. Fanboys would've whined about Hartnett playing Superman at the time, but then X-Men 3 might've actually been good. Point is, you never know where the chips are going to fall and what actions will pay off down the road.

I bet he won't have 5 lines this whole film...he'll just stand there looking...well...angry, troubled and "Black". I can see the death scene now.... he catches an RPG mid-air as it is flying towards a bus full of recently rescued young teen asian sex slaves, que flashback to college football game where he drops what would have been the game winning catch..revealing the source of his self doubt and anger, and shouts "Not this time Motherfucker"; and making the catch takes the blast as he spikes it, hence saving said girls.

Dumbest shit I have read today. You obviously don't know the deal. The average inner city movie goer is over 50 Cent's bullshit. Hence the reason why his album has been pushed back more than Jaime Foxx's real hairline. Go to any barber shop in NYC and you will find out that homeboy is DONE. 50's time in the spotlight has past already. And he fucked it up by beefing with EVERYBODY while he was on top. Then he got put on blast for claiming to be a real street dude, but some of his songs called out real life Queens NY drug dealers and put their business out there. That's why the whole "Stop Snitching" campaign hit NYC with a lot of hardcore rap fans wearing the T Shirts with that slogan. People got sick of his "Pop Shit when my CD is coming out" routine. And it's hard to rap about killing and dealing drugs and being a REAL gangster when you live in Tyson's old extravagant mansion and have a huge entourage of body guards 24/7. That's why he's done. He originally thrived on authenticity, now he lacks it. People now found out he was only shot 3 times. And now claim it was only because he was snitching. He allegedly got his ass kicked by Ja Rule in a recording studio back in the day when he was fat and wasn't all roided up like he is today. The dude is garbage now. And that's why his fucking CD won't see the light of day anytime soon because Interscope deaded it in favor of letting Eminem come back first. This is the dumbest casting decision. Of all the rappers (Common, LL Cool J) they go with the idiot who can't act and is polarizing. If this was a studio decision, I'm glad they don't know the real popular rapper of the moment is Lil' Wayne. Because that would have been waaaaaaay worse. But damn Stallone, cast a real fucking African American actor, or a rapper with real skills and a fanbase. 50 is washed up and done.
Bad Actors vs Bad Directors by NoahTall	Mar 19th, 2009 09:56:06 AM
I believe that the directors control 90 percent of the acting capability of the cast. They are the ones who tell an actor how to react and they are also the ones who decide if a take during a particular scene is good enough. Look at Segal. In a couple of his movies it actually appears that he can act. Others it seems he has a fifth grade comprehension level and is reading off cue cards. And look at Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel and John Leguizamo. All of them have turned in great performances in the past. However when I was watching The Crappening by M. Night Shyamalan they all seemed about as talented as the actors from the various Sci-Fi channel movies of the week. In other words not at all. So half a dollar's performance will live or die by Mr. Stallone's ability.
NO DOLPH LUNGREN!!! by PITCHPERFECT	Mar 19th, 2009 09:56:46 AM
I thought Dolph Lungren was in this film? He's not on that list, has he been taken out of the film and replaced with another character?
And most people on here... by Mr. Profit	Mar 19th, 2009 09:58:17 AM
Hate Rap for the sake of it. That's not me. Many rappers have crossed over and become good actors. From the old school like Will Smith, Ice T, Queen Latifah, and LL Cool J. To the new guys like Mos Def, Common, Nelly, Xzibit. Rappers aren't all bad actors and don't always ruin films. It's only when you cast the fucktard rappers that you encounter problems.
Nooooooooo! by Action Hero	Mar 19th, 2009 09:59:24 AM
Why?????? There are so many other gifted actors to choose from. Why reward a hack like 50 cent by putting him in this? Come on, Sly, you know better. You've struggled a long way back to the almost "A" list, and now you're risking your rebuilt credibility. Don't go the way of Seagal and blow it all. Next we'll be hearing this is going straight to DVD.
Since You Guys Are In Contact With Sly Ask Him... by PITCHPERFECT	Mar 19th, 2009 10:03:24 AM
Why aren't Jean Claude Van Damme, Carl Weathers, Steven Seagal and Bruce Willis not in this movie? Did he offer them roles? Did they turn him down? Did they want more money? I'm sure a lot of people here like myself would like to know if these stars were considered or not.
Wow, first a fake wrassler by Ebolarama	Mar 19th, 2009 10:06:31 AM
Now a fake actor. I really don't understand why people still have hope for this movie. The concept was great, Sly should have stuck with an 80's action star reunion... instead of turning this into a made for TV movie.
Instead of Fiddy by Ebolarama	Mar 19th, 2009 10:08:31 AM
Sly should have cast Lawrence Fishburne, Delroy Lindo, or KEITH FUCKING DAVID!!!!!
VIN DIESEL by PITCHPERFECT	Mar 19th, 2009 10:11:17 AM
Is it too late to cast him in a role?
50 Cent by Hipshot	Mar 19th, 2009 10:13:40 AM
Cannot act. Even when he was playing himself. Ugh.
Ebolarama by PITCHPERFECT	Mar 19th, 2009 10:15:06 AM
I agree with you Sly should have stuck to the idea that this could have been an 80's action star reunion, maybe throw in a few modern day action stars into the mix as well. The thing is though the people at AICN haven't asked the important questions when they have spoekn to Sly like... Did he offer roles to those 80's actions stars and did they turn him down?
I'm sure STALLONE is re-writing the role to fit 50 CENT by ABking	Mar 19th, 2009 10:23:05 AM
Forrest is a great actor and would have made us all proud with his tough performance...so Stallone obviously knows 50 CENT ani't no Forrest (hell, Curtis Jackson knows he ain't no Forrest), and thats not ragging on the rapper either. Stallone will no doubt re-write the part to fit 50 CENT. Maybe and hopefully give him only a few lines here and there...lines that count so he doesn't make the character retarded and hated on. Maybe make him like Mac in PREDATOR with only a few lines but looking tough as nails. What I obviously want most is for SCHWARZENEGGER to have an iconic character in this if it's only a cameo!
"Hale Caesar"? by Dr. Chim Richalds	Mar 19th, 2009 10:24:24 AM
"Toll Road"? "Lee Christmas"? Good lord (that last one isn't a character).
Who knew Sly was such a Buffy fan? by skimn	Mar 19th, 2009 10:25:20 AM
First Julie Benz in Rambo, now Charisma Carpenter in this... I'm more curious about that, and to see how her bod's been holding up.
some good points in this talkback by Vern	Mar 19th, 2009 10:26:41 AM
I like GibsonUSA's point about how they got an MMA guy, a wrestler, etc. so they should have one rapper. But I agree with Profit that there are many rappers that would've been better. In fact, if Hale Caesar is the same character as in the draft I read then LL or Ice-T would make more sense because he's an old veteran mercenary who has put his money into opening a Mexican restaraunt. Just because 50 Cent's career as a rapper is washed up doesn't mean he's old enough to play a character like that. Also Profit makes a good point that they coulda got Li'l Wayne and then it really would've been a problem. So in retrospect 50 Cent isn't that bad of a choice. I just don't like the guy but oh well, still gonna see the movie. Also I'm glad we got that character list because it clears up some confusion. Whitaker had been reported as "a devious CIA agent" in Variety or something so I always thought he was playing a completely different character than he was. Also, I want to point out that all these people we keep saying should be in there (my choices: Michael Jai White, Mario Van Peebles, Jesse Ventura, Brian Bosworth) could be in a sequel.
Fiddy! by StatelyWayneManor	Mar 19th, 2009 10:27:31 AM

Dolph Lundgren IS in the film... by coltrautman	Mar 19th, 2009 10:31:53 AM
sly didnt mention steve austin either(who is in) he mustve just forgot to mention them
I saw someone suggest Snoop over 50 by TheMark	Mar 19th, 2009 10:33:25 AM
Uhh, at least 50 looks like he can carry a gun. I mean, the guy's built like an action star, can we agree on that? I'm not overly thrilled for this casting move, but I have a ton of confidence in Mr. Stallone. I saw someone say Jeff Bridges needs to be a 'crazy machine gun wielding' type, but while i'm sure that was a joke, I could totally go for it. I always love the 'this star is WAY too big for this part' type of part. Have him sell some guns...crazily! Hahaha!
Bruce willis, Michael Beihn, Val Kilmer, Sharon stone by coltrautman	Mar 19th, 2009 10:33:50 AM

steven seagal should play the black expendable! like robert down by coltrautman	Mar 19th, 2009 10:35:06 AM

Good list dude by Ebolarama	Mar 19th, 2009 10:36:04 AM
Vin Diesel would actually be a great choice, as 1) he can really act (Carparzo) and 2) he's a legitimate 90's/2000's action star.
I just want Sly's movie to succeed. by The Reluctant Austinite	Mar 19th, 2009 10:38:54 AM
I don't like 50 cent more than any of you; he's just not a very charming human being, esspecially given the current state of the world and the economy. He's more part of the problem than the solutiuon, and seeing him getting a job in this great project is not something to uplift the spirits. However, having said that, he will appeal to a certain demographic and this film is in the process of winning appeal across a broad spectrum (of males anyway). So if he helps Sly knock this one out of the park, so be it.
AND by Ebolarama	Mar 19th, 2009 10:39:08 AM
I guess I shouldn't talk so much shit on wrasslers turned actors... after all, I loved Jessie Ventura in Predator and Roddy Piper in They Live.
DANNY TREJO??? by ABking	Mar 19th, 2009 10:40:08 AM
What about this Robert Rodriguez Mexican tough guy??????? No mention of him either by Stallone.
Stallone...make Arnie's character a lead in the SEQUEL... by ABking	Mar 19th, 2009 10:42:19 AM
If Arnie is to be a cameo, PLEASE set him up for THE EXPENDABLES 2! Make him iconic so he's a real bad ass like his COMMANDO charater.
agreed on Vin Diesel.. by coltrautman	Mar 19th, 2009 10:43:49 AM
I wouldnt mind seeing him in this...but is his price to high?? eh...hes doing a sequel to xXx how high could his price be??
Arnolds cameo to be filmed after Brazil shoot.. by coltrautman	Mar 19th, 2009 10:44:33 AM

Michael Biehn Indeed by Terry the geek	Mar 19th, 2009 10:49:17 AM
It'd be badass to see him kicking ass again.
As long as Sly brings the same aesthetic he did to Rambo by SoylentMean	Mar 19th, 2009 10:50:46 AM
you know, the completely over the top yet disturbingly realistic action and violence. Of course in order for that to happen the film would have to NOT be pg-13. I think I'll wait until I see the first trailer to decide whether or not I'm going to see this. But Sly, come on man, at least recognize that casting 50 "Hey I apparently made one good video game" Cent is a drastic step down in quality and ability from Forrest Whitaker. For whatever reason the decision was truly made it still, nonetheless, is a bad decision.
Eric Roberts and Mickey Rourke? by IamZardoz	Mar 19th, 2009 10:56:04 AM
I bet Roberts got the nod based in part on Rourke's kind words recently. This does sound like a flick Ill be glad to pay $9 to get in and $10 for popcorn and a coke.
So will SCHWARZENEGGER be pumping up for his big cameo comeback by ABking	Mar 19th, 2009 10:56:37 AM
Arnie is only cgi (ala Dr. Manhattan) in TERMINATOR SALVATION, but his first real "acting infront of the camera" after all these years will be THE EXPENDABLES...even if it's only a cameo. So, will Arnie now take the time to pump up for his first real role? I hope his role is ICONIC. I will keep saying that!
I'd love to give Sly the benefit of the doubt... by m_reporter	Mar 19th, 2009 10:58:34 AM
... but I've seen 0.5$ in a couple of movies and the dude has absolutely no charisma, let alone acting skill. It's like someone threw a log on the set and drew eyes and a mouth on it, and then some woman was reading the lines for the log. Poor log... Wait, what was I talking about?
After seeing him clean shaven on Lost last night by skimn	Mar 19th, 2009 11:02:52 AM
looking all world weary, Jeff Fahey would be a realistic choice. Those dream casts are sweet, but c'mon, really?

Bruce Willis does not exist in The Expendables dojo. by Stuntcock Mike	Mar 19th, 2009 11:12:51 AM

Crenna was known as a comedic actor??? by Ace of Wands	Mar 19th, 2009 11:12:56 AM
well before First Blood he had done films such as Marooned ( a pretty po faced space rescue movie), Wait Until Dark ( a first rate thriller with him as a villain), Star ( a biopic),The Sand Pebbles (about US Sailors in a Chinese uprising, I think, anyway pretty downer ending) so while he may well have done some comedies I think that it is a bit of a stretch and some vanity from Stallone to try and claim that casting Crenna in First Blood turned him into a more serious actor or one who from then on got roles in films other than comedies. Come on Stallone, you're not responsible for every decent actor in the world becoming who they are, you're just responsible for ruining Judge Dredd.

PUNISHER: WARZONE was KICK ASS! by ABking	Mar 19th, 2009 11:27:52 AM
ACTION MOVIES are alive and well! Just bought PUNISHER: WARZONE and by now there have been three PUNISHER movies --have to say the newest one is the BEST. PUNISHER: WARZONE is a solid action movie that is a must own for action fans. I would rate them like this: PUNISHER: WARZONE THE PUNISHER (Dolph) THE PUNISHER (Tom Jane) WARZONE is full of over the top characters, action and violence. It actually is almost as violent as RAMBO. Too bad it bombed!

Never got a chance to see WARZONE in theaters because of how fast it came and went. But having watched it yesterday I was like HOLY FUCK...the filmmakers finally got the PUNISHER right. I mean DOLPH's PUNISHER wasn't all bad (just kinda cheap), but this new one was BALLS-TO-THE-WALLS KICK ASS and OVER-THE-TOP the way the character was ment to be! As for who I like better out of STALLONE or SCHWARZENEGGER...those two guys are just so fucking AWESOME in the action movie genre of the 80's and early 90's that I could NEVER pick one over the other (SORRY dude). From FIRST BLOOD to THE TERMINATOR, TOTAL RECALL to DEMOLITION MAN, ROCKY to PREDATOR, CLIFFHANGER to TRUE LIES etc. etc. etc....both have left their mark in equal measure!!!

in Warzone was a) Julie Benz's Noo Yawk accent. I love Julie in Dexter and her past Buffy and Angel work, but she was pushing too hard on the Noo Yawk. And Dominic West's villian, which was just a shade below Al Pacino's Dick Tracy role for over-the-top. I thought made a fine rental with a cold one at your side, though.

You had most of us when you titled this movie, "The Expendables". Whatever you do, you absolutely must keep that title. Also, please remember that The Dirty Dozen was FUN, and not an overly-serious look at war. On a completely unrelated note, Punisher War Zone did indeed kick all kinds of crazy ass. We are fortunate to live in a world where Frank Castle blows some punk's face off with a shotgun at point blank range.

I started this website (http://www.missinginacting.co m) about 3 years ago, I stopped updating it because it was stressing me out. I just get really upset when I see a mediocre rapper(i.e., Common on Terminator, WillIAm XMEN, Rihanna Charlie's Angels 3, Beyonce) in a film when their a hundreds of out of work quality actors. What do we have to do? how do we get to the casting agents ? When there is ONE Role for a black actor and they decide to cast a Rapper, makes me think that this is why their a very few Black Actors nominated for awards. The quiet conspiracy.
Stallone, you kick ass but I think you're wrong here... by Darth Macchio	Mar 19th, 2009 02:13:47 PM
...it's not about being negative. It's about this guy having no acting talent much less ability. I saw about 5 minutes of that piece of shit auto-biographical indulgence self-love masturbatory fest "Get Rich or Die Trying" and it was absurdly bad (and he was playing himself! Eminem fared much better playing himself, hell so did Mike Tyson!). I hate the new hip-hop gansta rap 'I got guns, cash, and hoes!!" bullshit but the guy's got talent there presumeably BUT it doesn't at all bleed over into other art forms just because they all sit under the "art" heading. Some musicians transcend them and most don't. Ever hear from Bon Jovi and his acting talent? Will Smith and Mos Def are flukes of multi-media talent but 50 cent isn't. Not yet anyway. Not to mention replacing an Oscar wining actor with a fucking rapper has ass written all over it no matter how you slice it. What about Chiwetel Ejiofor?? The guy's awesome in EVERYTHING! I was not a believer in talent like Smith's and Mos Def's until I saw them doing great work (Smith was even better than the movie he was in at the time!) and Def is great in everything I've seen him in but this Curtis guy is not an actor and looks to be so self-aware on camera that he can only be himself in a movie (much like Eminem, Courtney Love, etc). Time will tell I suppose and I'd love to be wrong on this...but let me be so pretentious as to say that if Brando demoniacally possessed 50cent, it would still be ass compared to Whitaker on his absolute worst days...(Last King of Scotland was amazing solely due to his performance).

Vern by Darth Busey	Mar 19th, 2009 03:12:29 PM
"Michael Jai White, Mario Van Peebles, Jesse Ventura, Brian Bosworth)" No shit. In a movie called "The Expendables", I expect at least half of the named cast to get killed off in this one. The dudes that Vern named, plus others (Martin Kove really needs to be given a small role as a slimy asshole in this), can be in the sequel. Also, the way he's heading, Arnold can appear in the sequel, "The Expandables". Jesus, will you Californians impeach him already so he can get back to working out and making awesome movies again? Thanks -- The World

If you're going to go the route of a rapper-actor, choose Common. The guy does good work.
Re: Darth Thoth by Darth Busey	Mar 19th, 2009 03:14:38 PM
"give the man respect!! he was awesome in the dark knight btw" Eric Roberts is perfect for this kind of flick. Haven't you heathens seen BEST OF THE BEST? If he wasn't sadly departed, Chris Penn would have been in thing, too.

Roberts is awesome cause he doesnt close his mouth by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 19th, 2009 03:17:09 PM

Roberts was awesome in Entourage.... by Darth Macchio	Mar 19th, 2009 03:29:24 PM
Sure, he didn't upstage The Busey. Who could after all? Gary is a living legend of sheer lunacy without being murderous, it's brilliant and the man surfs right on the thin line between genius and mania. But I think Eric Roberts was so kick ass in Entourage and was perfect in DK that his presences doesn't mean anything bad whatsoever.

The dialogue will have to be completely rewritten. by Stalin vs Predator	Mar 19th, 2009 04:34:05 PM
Original version, written for Forrest Whittaker: FORREST WHITTAKER But the worst was... his descent into insanity. The pit of madness. Have your ever suddenly faced a crumbling ruin that you only remembered from your childhood as a magnificent new building? Few things really touch me anymore, but, God, seeing him then... New rewritten version, adapted for the new "star" Half Dollar: HALF DOLLAR: Sheeeeeeyit, dawg, dat shit wuz WACK, mufugga! Mufugga wuz fuckin' CRAY-ZEE an' sheet, knowotamsayen? I mean, bam! Bam! Man, fuck dis shit, man. (Apologies for making Half Dollar's words above more intellectual and linguistically correct than actual rap is)

Oh, and I suppose Michael Duncan was too dumb compared w. Half D by Stalin vs Predator	Mar 19th, 2009 04:42:53 PM
And if M. C. Duncan asks too much these days, then I suppose Michael Jai White was also considered less intellectually gifted and talented than doctor Half Dollar, too? Hopefully this casting is some cretinous studio manager's idea that can still be destroyed.

.....actually watch Rambo?!?! If so, then please give Stallone some credit. In the credits it plainly states "Director", "Writer", "Actor!" And I was quite frankly...amazed...at the quality of the whole film. There were no abrupt or bad cuts in the editing. No stilted moments that didn't work. The whole thing should at least buy Sly some bragging rights. And some "trust" in his judgment. I don't know any other action stars that can say they've done the same. Except for Eastwood.

Dr. Zeus, couldn't agree more. "Rambo" kicked ass. by Mr. Waturi	Mar 19th, 2009 06:54:40 PM
Stallone's "Rambo" gave us the best action of any movie last year. Stallone knows how to build tension, design shots, and tell a story- even if some of the dialogue was a little flat. I hope for his sake that "The Expendables" lives up to the hype. I'd love to see him direct a movie like "Conan".
I LUV SLY but 50 cent aint a dollar right? by muri71	Mar 19th, 2009 07:00:39 PM
a dollar would have been denzel washington or at least wesley snipes...who does have problems with court stuff, so he cant be in! we need another dollar sly a dollar like bruce willis, no more wrestlers and rappers! i think fitty might be great guy 2 hang out with, if hes not on drugs, but he cant act his way out of a nutsack and it really doesnt matter if sly would be the greatest director on the planet. i`m a fan of sly since 1982 and he is my idol for many reasons but he did many mistakes in the last 25 years. 1. "stop or my mama will shot u"!:) 2.never did a "tango & cash" part 2 3.never should have made "rocky 5" 4.didnt made a movie with arnie in his prime! 5.never should have married brigitte!:) 6.never should have made "driven"! ...and now fitty!:) like i`ve written i do not have a problem with fitty...ok he cant act...not even himself but this movie aint no "hamlet" right?! but i do have a problem with this, u cant replace a oscar guy with a rapper and if so...u should get will smith right now and really fast!

Jackie Chan??? by Stryx	Mar 19th, 2009 07:12:23 PM
Completely disregarding any feelings I have about this project or any of the movies Jackie Chan has made since coming (back) to America, I wonder if Stallone at any point asked him to be in the cast? I remember years ago repeatedly hearing how badly Jackie wanted to make a movie together with Sly and I still tend to feel he is a better actor than Jet Li.
What about by manbat33	Mar 19th, 2009 07:26:08 PM
Jeff Speakman and Billy Drago, also the bad guy from Invasion USA, the bad guy from beverly hills cop, berkoff or whatever. And Henry Silva, the bad guy from above the law, imagine him telling stallone, "Who the f--k is this cherry?!!"
What a great talkback guys! by Joker Gordon Levitt	Mar 19th, 2009 07:26:47 PM
Just proves adrenaline is still very much in the children of the late 70's early 80's. What great role models we had back then; bad asses who didn't give a fuck about hurting anyone's feelings. He-Man and GI Joe in the morning, Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee on the afternoon movie, to R rated Die Hards, Predators, Robocops, Rockys, Rambos, and Terminators, testosterone was everywhere. But, we also had free scrambled porn, which inadvertently shrunk our attention spans and altered our perceptions of female sexuality to the point where we could ejaculating over green, wiggly boobs.

DENZEL WASHINGTON OR MEL GIBSON WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE! some other names like: cliwe owen, bennicio del toro, eric bana, hugh jackman! so thats it for today sly...until now you pleased us nearly every week, with great names like: rourke, statham, li, lundgren, arnie etc and we know u tried on stupid jean claude van damme and wesley snipes but please one fitty is enough. please not another 50 cent cast anymore! AND SLY THIS MOVIE MUST BE AT LEAST 120 MINUTES LONG! only weak point about rambo it was 2 short. & no freakin wire action like matrix fights and no bourne shit cuts and it must be a rated r movie and ur fans will march singing into the cinemas!:)

This is one of the great examples of wishful thinking. When push comes to shove, THE EXPENDABLES probably won't happen. Not the way we think it will. As much as I respect and admire Stallone, I recognize what an uphill battle he fought for RAMBO. And as a result, I recognize that so many stars will probably, sadly, mean that this project will go the way of the aborted JUSTICE LEAGUE movie - a great idea that's too good to be allowed to happen by Fu**upwood.

I'm no Stallone or 50 cent fanboy, and am not trying to defend Stallones casting decision in any way (he can do that well enough himself) but all of you crying about 50 joining the cast have to look at the bigger picture. At best this movie will be some awesome popcorn comic book fun. I think someone like 50 cent, not necessarily a good actor, will be good in a movie like this. Lets face it, when have actors like Li or Statham ever really required to do worthy oscar winning performances? This movie will be good wholesome fun with lots of action and killing in it, and someone like 50 will be fun to have in the movie.
Sly consider.....ROWDY RODDY PIPER... by iwasredempted	Mar 19th, 2009 11:21:31 PM

Sly, This Movie Should Have Everyone In It!!! by Acquanetta	Mar 19th, 2009 11:34:28 PM
Think about it: Every person alive today. It would easily surpass Titanic at the box office, because what kind of jerk wouldn't pay to see himself onscreen? Then consider the dvd sales, since the movie would be part and parcel of every actor's filmography. Also note that The Expendables would be the one to finally locate and capture bin Laden.
Have additional cameos during the credits!!!! by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 19th, 2009 11:46:55 PM
Like during the movie, show a bunch of extras in the background and in the distance. Then, after the movie is all over and during the credits, "reveal" these characters to be MORE stars!! using alternate camera perspectives from movie events!! For example, during the movie we see a character in the background sitting under a tree. Then after the movie is all over, during the credits he turns around and its RODDY PIPER or something!! And have like 5 or 6 of those! Thatd be AWESOME!!

cameos > outakes by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 19th, 2009 11:53:55 PM
I am opposed to outtakes for an action movie. Imagine watching Rambo, then during the credits there are outtakes of Sly in his Rambo outfit laughing with the cameraman. That takes us out of it. Again I would prefer credits used for Cameo-Mania. Extras that we barely see during the course of the movie suddenly get closeups and are revealed to be big stars! We see a guy playing basketball in the distance. Then, during the credits, it zooms to the bball court and its actually THE ROCK playing or something! Thats unstoppable.

the "sidekick" in American Ninja by Jesiah	Mar 20th, 2009 12:48:19 AM
I believe his name was Steve James? He was the black dude who got embarassed by the American Ninja Joe Armstrong kickin his ass in front of all their army buddies while Joe wore a bucket on his head and then became his bossom buddy for the rest of the flick.

As much as I laugh at anyone who wants me to pay money to listen to them "rap" about how much richer they are than me, I still can't see him fitting in here. Sly, I'm a lifelong fan. And can I really see this being an awesome film. With all of the actors from different backgrounds, maybe it's an attempt to pull in fans of said actors. But come on boss...Carl Weathers fits the role perfectly. "Yeah, I remember one kid got re-educated so bad, his testicles climbed back up into his belly. Wouldn't come out.

Stormy Weathers by StatelyWayneManor	Mar 20th, 2009 08:15:53 AM
Haven't read the whole thread but didn't Carl hardball Stallone when Sly wanted to use his image in the last Rocky movie? Maybe they can get PantherMan from WMAC Masters?
Stallone has it nailed by alienindisguise	Mar 20th, 2009 08:33:07 AM
Whenever this guy makes a movie, he knows exactly what he's making. He's one of the few actors/filmmakers who does what he feels and not what he thinks will make a billion dollars. I put Stallone up there with Mel Gibson for having the integrity to do what he wants in a land of copycats, remakes and hacks. Kudos to you Mr. Stallone.

Was indeed 'the man'. What a damn shame he didn't make it this far - he would've shone in this. Out of respect for Steve, please Sly, give Michael Dudikoff some screentime ;)
Aiming for a PG-13 & Now 50 Cent. Stallone You Just Lost Me- by Neoworld	Mar 20th, 2009 08:59:12 AM
http://screenrant.com/50-cent- replacing-forrest-whitaker-exp andables-rob-6215/ Was hoping for a Rambo-Esque movie with all these great stars but now I read your aiming for a PG-13 rating unlike Rambo. And 50 cent pushed me over the edge. The man can't act. My interest in seeing this movie just majorly dropped. I know you have your issues with Carl Weathers because he wanted money for a small clip to appear in the last Rocky movie, but sheesh for the betterment of your movie go with Carl (or anybody else) and aim for the R Rating.
FEMALE CAST should be by muri71	Mar 20th, 2009 08:59:15 AM
diane lane, julianne moore, angelina jolie, hally berry, kate beckingsale, rhona mitra one of these for agent lickson. a lady whos capable 2 mess with badass guys! sadly sandy bullock wont be doing it! miss carpenter so far i know is just a love interest for statham! about carl weather he was great in te rocky movies besides that he didnt do anything good. action jackson was something like blakula, something the world forgot! there is no point that he tried 2 get more mony from sly for a freakin image in rocky balboa. sly made him famous and he tried 2 fuck him up, we dont need carl!

LEAVE SOMEHOW A MILLION WARRANT FOR WESLEY AT COURT AND GET HIM FOR THIS MOVIE
muri71. where did you hear SLY asked SNIPES? by ABking	Mar 20th, 2009 09:45:04 AM
Never heard that rumor. And people, enough with VAN DAMME already! Sly asked that ungreatful TURD to be in his film and because JCVD was so well recieved and that Sly could NOT tell him which character he was going to play, he turned Sly down. Guess he doesn't want to be in a film that is going to gross 100 million in the U.S.
FREE WESLEY SNIPES! by Leafar the Lost	Mar 20th, 2009 09:47:01 AM
Give the brother a fucking break! His only crimes were being black and screwing white women. The Man set the brother up with the not paying taxes shit, and now he is locked away in a federal prison. Stallone should hire Snipes and film his scenes at the prison. Or, you could get another black actor (not 50 cents) to do all of the work in the film, and then digitally put Wesley's face on him. Either way, he is a better choice than that 2-Quarters piece of shit!

The reason this is going to be PG-13 by JohnRyder	Mar 20th, 2009 11:18:11 AM
It is not Rambo. The title alone won't sell the movie. It needs wider audience. Fanboys alone won't make this movie profitable. See what is happening to Watchmen.
The proof this is going to be PG-13 by JohnRyder	Mar 20th, 2009 11:20:17 AM

If this is PG13ified I wont be seeing this. by judge dredds fresh undies	Mar 20th, 2009 12:50:09 PM

Carl "Goddamn jackpot" Weathers by onemanarmy	Mar 20th, 2009 01:08:11 PM
For the win. "If they give me any smack, I'll be sure to save some for you." He's more gangster than 50Cent could ever pretend to be. I'm really hoping that this decision was made solely because Sly wants to pull people from all sorts of fan bases (Rappers, wrestlers, Arnie, etc). And not because this fucking buffoon is seen as a decent actor. Action Jackson bitches..

Two PG-13 action films so bad ass it gives hope by ABking	Mar 20th, 2009 01:47:28 PM
CASINO ROYAL is PG-13...kick ass action film...MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE 3 is PG-13...kick ass action film! I take it that most want an R rating, but if Sly can push what is needed to come close to R, this film has nothing to worry about. Lets let the film speak for itself first before we condemm it.

PG-13 Could Be A Problem by Acquanetta	Mar 20th, 2009 03:45:09 PM
This isn't like Bond, Batman, or Ethan Hunt- where no one goes in expecting a great deal of explicit violence. This is a movie aimed largely at the same male demographic as Rambo. It's going to be heavily dependent on them as well, since this isn't a cast that will excite mainstream audiences. Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, Danny Trejo...these are actors that excite fanboys, but are nowhere close to being household names.
The Fanboy Minions Have Spoken by onemanarmy	Mar 20th, 2009 04:15:37 PM
Carl "It's ACTION!" Weathers Bruce "Boomstick" Campbell Kurt "I have a knife" Russell Bruce "Yippekayay MF'er" Willis Wesley "Fuck Taxes" Snipes & Danny "Shit I'm Scary" Trejo. Expendables, or ex-Expendables whatever...who cares anymore. We're not talking about just an action movie. We're talking about THE ACTION MOVIE. This movie is going to skull fuck the masses, kidnap and gut the offspring only to stuff it with even more AWESOME & smuggle it across the border. With all of the bullshit coming out of Hollywood between remakes, re-thinkings, re-visionings, and cherry popping franchise fucking....WE NEED THIS SLY!!! WE NEED IT! Do it for the little Rambo's. The little Rambo's man...
Onemanarmy RE: "I have a knife." by TedKordLives	Mar 20th, 2009 04:59:03 PM
Great fuckin' line, man. Props to you for pulling that out. I mean, how many great lines are in that movie? "I come with you but-" "I know, there's a problem with your face."

I didn't know that. I do know he's really tall. And he's beefed up now, too? Sheeeeeeet, with the craptastic casting of "fiddy" an injection of some musculalar Ian Malcolm is just what Expendables needs
Good points Acquanetta but RAMBO... by ABking	Mar 20th, 2009 06:39:40 PM
...is a whole different beast. Sure, THE EXPENDABLES is sort of a war film, but it's trying to be bigger than your average action film. The cast says it all...even if it's a geek cast. RAMBO might had NC-17 violence, so lets hope Sly puts R rated stuff in the PG-13 EXPENDABLES. Hey, I want an R rating but maybe Stallone can pull a trick over the MPAA's eyes.
@ABking by muri71	Mar 20th, 2009 06:41:41 PM
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt13 20253/trivia The Expendables (2010) More at IMDbPro » advertisement * Jean-Claude Van Damme was originally offered the role that went to Dolph Lundgren. Van Damme's reason for turning down the role was that he thought that there was no substance in his character. * Wesley Snipes was offered the role of Hale Ceasar (now played by Randy Couture) but couldn't accept because, due to his tax problems, he wasn't allowed to leave the United States without the courts approval. * Sandra Bullock was offered role of Agent Lickson. * Ben Kingsley was considered for the role of Monroe. * Scott Adkins was offered the role of Dan Paine.

James Woods! Yes! by TedKordLives	Mar 20th, 2009 07:25:06 PM
I love how in 'Vampires', everytime he kills one he just goes absolutely apeshit on it. I was pissed off the other night and popped in "The Hard Way" just to see someone who was just as pissed as me. Felt great by the end.
@TedKordLives by Fenrisulfr	Mar 20th, 2009 07:34:51 PM
Always loved the scene near the end of Vampires where Woods is being dragged along the vampire chick. First of all he unloads the whole fucking gun in her face, and then stabs her with the stake, as he literally screams his guts out "Diiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee you fucker diiiiiiiiiiiiiie". Or something like that.
Yeah, by TedKordLives	Mar 20th, 2009 07:45:30 PM
He pretty much was like that the whole movie- "DIIIIEEEE GOD DAMN IT MOTHER FUCKER DIE YOU GOD DAMN SHITTY ASSHOLE"
To be honest, I dont mind PG-13 by coltrautman	Mar 20th, 2009 07:51:08 PM
If stallone can make it Gritty like Casino royale.....hes already said it wont be a "bloodfest like rambo" and with the huge budget its got...maybe they cant afford to risk it with an R rating.. id rather see this film be successful enough to make an Expendables 2 than to see it flop because of some overzealous for blood fanboys... look how watchment fared being rated R?
SLY READ THIS AND U´LL MAKE A BILLION $$ by muri71	Mar 20th, 2009 07:52:22 PM
this awesome cast is what we have now...its gigatestic except the fitty part;) Mickey Rourke as Tool, Jason Statham as Lee Christmas, Sylvester Stallone as Barney Ross, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jet Li as bao, Eric Roberts as Monroe, Dolph Lundgren as Gunnar Jensen, Charisma Carpenter, David Zayas as Garza, Steve Austin, Randy Couture, Aaron Aguilera as Hector, Giselle Itié, Ross Francis as Caleb, James Hébert as Bill Parker, curtis jackson as hale rumored: Danny Trejo, Liam Hemsworth (who the hell ever that might be?) but the fans want one of those guys 2: kurt russell, MICHAEL BIEHN, bruce willis, MEL GIBSON, denzel washington, VIN DIESEL, michael jay white, the rock, val kilmer, BRUCE CAMPELL, chuck norris, christopher lambert, michael ironside, jeff fahey, christian bale, michael dudikoff, ken wahl, JENSEN ACKLES, steven segal, ANTONIO BANDERAS, javier bardem, cliwe owen, russel crowe, kevin costner, viggo mortensen, ed harris, gabriel byrne, rutger hauer, john travolta, matthew fox, josh halloway, dany glover, robert de niro, VAL KILMER, clint eastwood, johnny depp, tom jane, bill paxton, patrick swayze (maybe his last role?) robert patrick, michael madsen, harvey keitel, mark dacascos, liam neeson (wont happen now...rip natasha)hugh jackman, david boreanaz or james marsters (since sly is a buffy fan:)eric bana, don cheadle, robert downey jr, will smith, ll cool j, common...those are the names i´ve read the most in every talkback possible!:) IF SLY COULD/WOULD ADD ANOTHER 3-5 NAMES OF THIS LIST...this movie will go berserk at the box office! PLUS U NEED THIS ALSO...if everything is done right and if sly makes a rough, hard, a no mercy, no bourne, or wire beep action flick (with some drama, at some points), like he already did with rambo 4, it will go beyond 150 mil. in the us and on foreign nearly the same.if norris, eastwood and willis could be won for cameos and if kurt russell jumps in also, it will make even more cash with those names included 2 the cast, only then it could sink the titanic again! reason 1: sly already did over 100 mil on his own (with rambo 4)with no famous co stars and it was rated R! reason 2: every fan of the 80`s & 90`s are waiting for someting like this since years, a bunch of our heros put together and they raise hell. like what quentin promised for years and now comes up with a wimpy cast like: mike myers, eli roth! and german no actors like til schweiger & daniel brühl, screw tarantino for all his lies, sly is the man! reason 3: it will be a great mouth 2 mouth thing and every man on the planet, who has a thing for action/war movies & with balls in their pants, is going 2 die 2 see a flick with 3 generations of action heros and on this night, when the movie comes out a lot of ladies will be home alone!:) reason 4: this movie will do great at rental, dvd & blue ray sales...like rambo 4 alone made some record sales, when it was released on blue ray. my guess is this movie will bring every movie fan 2 buy this thing, of any generation, cus it has 80`s, 90`s and 00`s heros. i think this movie will do at least 400 mil. on rentals and sales, plus 600 at the box office world wide, so we have a good billion $ movie! so let it be rated R, no compromising here, its a bad ass movie for every movie geek and action fan PLUS THIS MOVIE NEEDS 2 BE AT LEAST 120 MINUTES...the more the better! the only weak point about rambo 4 it was way 2 short! no fancy wire fights shit, dirty hard and brutal fights. no bourne cutting beep a bit of drama like in rambo 4 and a great, great score theme like rambo please. so sly, if u ever should read this, try all in ur powers 2 get WILLIS, NORRIS, EASTWOOD and DENZEL for cameos one day shoots could work, even if they are busy. try 2 get KURT RUSSELL, if this aint working get MICHAEL BIEHN or CHRISTOPHER LAMBERT. this movie needs a real cool black actor...sadly WESLeY could not be in, so get MICHAEL JAY WHITE, or will smith, the really best thing would be if DENZEL would join, maybe its a challenge for him, he never did a full, cool action movie like this!man on fire...was a man on a mission action film! it would be really wise if this movie could add a younger hunk, someone for the ladies, so they would have a reason 2 go in a flick like this...of course i name JOHNNY DEPP cus i like him, but i guess he would never make a movie like that, but we never know, someone has 2 ask, maybe he likes the idea of being full macho for a while?! if that aint working get TV IN/HUNK GUYS like JENSEN ACKLES, WENTWORTH MILLER, JOSH HALLOWAY, they would make some extra female cash!!! if u wanna do great in india/asia & germany (ok i personally hate this idea, cus i dont like this sucker) get Shahrukh Khan, it will bring really extra female cash...but of course u should shut the fukker up, never let him sing and dance and kill him right away in the movie!;) this movie needs a good female choice, girls who look great or get along tough guys good like: KATE BECKINGSALE, JULIANNE MOORE, HALLE BERRY, ANGELINA JOLIE, MILLA JOVOVICH, DIANE LANE, RHONA MITRA, NATASCHA HENSTRIDGE, julie benz ... try 2 get more budget...it should be a 100-120 mil. movie it will in any way make at least 600 mil. but if everything is done right much more! PLUS I WANT SLY WITH A BEARD HE LOOKS GREAT WITH A BEARD LIKE IN GET CARTER OR ROCKY 4!!! PLUS: GIVE SLY A SHOWDOWN FIGHT, at least 3-5 minutes...BUT PLEASE NOT WITH GARZA , someone tough and cool please!!!!!!! this movie will make history in anyway...the hysteria allready won every movie fan on the planet by storm... IN SLY WE TRUST...make it big, make it hard, make it dirty, cus ur the master sly!!! but no more fitty like castings please!

he was the best part of this shit fest, but tarantino fucked him up in the end, by beating the shit out of him from 3 stupid girls i couldnt care less. worsed ending of a movie i`ve ever seen 2!!! stuntmen mike was a beyond cool character (only because of kurt) and then he made him a cry baby wimp, who gets beaten by chicks...no point at all about the ending!
I thought it was pretty funny, actually. by TedKordLives	Mar 20th, 2009 08:26:09 PM
Like no one had EVER had a chance to fuck with him back, so when it happened it totally took him off guard. I think that was the point, but I'm not QT. I love when he "drops" his keys, and he's all "Where are my keys oh there they are." I know QT said, "Do it like Jack Burton.", cause it sounds just like when him and Wang bluff their way into the Wing Kong Exchange in BTinLC.
Thanks Muri71 by ABking	Mar 20th, 2009 08:33:42 PM
Thanks for the info with Snipes etc...Forgot that TAKEN was PG-13. I still say if CASINO ROYAL & MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE 3 can pull off hard ass action and still be violent, then Sly will push the bar with THE EXPENDABLES. Hell, he pushed the bar with RAMBO and got an R. Lets all judge the film when it comes out.

HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO... by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 21st, 2009 05:53:27 AM
Where have all real stars gone And where are all the godss? Where’re the dudes from the 80s To fight these rising oddss? Movies have been pussified, that you must concede In the theater we toss and turn and dream of what we need WE NEED TO BE STALL'OWNED! We're holding out for the badasses he's gonna invite They're gonna be strong And they're gonna be fast And they're gonna be ready to fight WE'RE GONNA BE STALL'OWNED! Even with 50 Cent we know it's gonna be tight As long as he's sure And as long as its soon And as long as its larger than life!

oh and oh Lord (sly) no HIP HOP SOUNDTRACK! by muri71	Mar 21st, 2009 06:33:37 AM
this movie needs only one great rock song/anthem! made by survivor (please a reunion with jim) or a guns n roses in original line up, mötley crüe maybe or bon jovi ( a more about "its my life" kind of thing) one band, one song and the rest score! please not a over all soundtrack with a dozen bands who shit up the movie with a dozen tracks that kills the mood of the movie! NO HIP HOP ESP: NOT 50 CENT!!!!!!
about slys casting decisions... by muri71	Mar 21st, 2009 07:05:24 AM
well u nailed it with talia for all the rocky movies, thats 4 sure and mr. t for rocky 3 and dolph for rocky 4, thats true! but we all know it, in the hearts of the fans... rocky 1-2 and rocky balboa are the movies that captured the legacy of rocky! rocky 3 and 4 were great sport action movies of their time and as a kid i loved them the most, as i grew up rocky 1-2 were/are the real things! thats art, thats drama, its inspiration and rocky balboa carried the legacy 2 a good ending! BUT SLY U DIDNT MENTIONED Antonio Tarver/mason dixon...in my opinion the only weak part about rocky balboa! he was a unbelievable "best champ of all times"! carl/apollo creed in his prime had the best technique and body of all the guys u fight againgst. so it was a little bit lame...as they mentioned in rocky balboa, that mason "the line" dixon" is the best boxer of all time, stuff like that. well his body was more about average, his boxing looked slow, without a punch...anything, he was really a miscast sly!man even tommy morrison looked tougher and he was a miscast as well! rocky 5 should have never been made in the first place! about richard crenna (rip man)...but i would have prefered kirk douglas over him anytime! half of any rambo movie richard was in, i couldnt take him seriously! he had something not so serious about his role attitude, nearly half of the time! it was always for me unbelievable that this character trutman played by riachrd made rambo 2 this killing machine...cus he was never bad ass enough 2 made rambo 2 what he`d become. kirk could have pulled that of, he could have been bad ass, but thats my opinion! about eric roberts...well so underrated...and vanished 2 dvd hell for a decade or 2 BUT NO i take eric before ben anytime and i dont freaking care if ben won a thousand oscars. cus ben only plays ben in a jewish or world conqueror way and in uwe boll hell, he was one of the worsed actors i`ve seen! a lot of the guys most forgot eric was an oscar nominated actor once and has more talent in his little finger than his bloody sister julia in her whole being!
a fan boy ending for the expandables... by muri71	Mar 21st, 2009 07:18:20 AM
just a freaking fantasy!:) imagine sly, jason and jet li survive, they`ve killed garza and all his men and they are on their way back home through the jungle joke about the job. spaceship lands in the jungle...a predator is coming out, the end!:) well this would be fan thing for predator lovers and we could add some dutch schäfer in it!:)) but i`m more with that thing that sly creates another franchise with the expandables and in the sequel he brings guys who he couldnt get for this movie!
what do u think, who should make a song for OST?? by muri71	Mar 21st, 2009 07:30:27 AM
like i`ve written one song, one band, nothing more...the rest should be score! a dream would be ennio morricone of course! my bands/artists: ennio morricone= score, survivor, guns and roses, mötley crüe, bon jovi (only a killer "its my life" kind of stuff), bruce springsteen (only a rock song, no ballad! metallica ( no wimpy ballad), if rap...oh dear i hope not?! only EMINEM if its more like "fight music" or "lose urself" the beats are killers!
What kind or role does charisma has by ominus	Mar 21st, 2009 07:46:30 AM

@ominus by muri71	Mar 21st, 2009 07:48:37 AM

If there is a hip-hop soundtrack... by Fenrisulfr	Mar 21st, 2009 10:15:03 AM
... I will officially boycott this film in theatres. I am not asking for some Viking Death Metal here (AMON AMARTH YEAHHH !!!) but seriously, this has to have a hard rock credit song, or purely orchestral (I thought the music in JOHN RAMBO was visceral and brilliant).
Can someone clear this up for me... by barrignite	Mar 21st, 2009 12:03:20 PM
So no Dolph? Where was his mention? Also Sly, you boxing fan, its Ken NORTON that was supposed to be in Rocky. Not "Naughton".
Terry Crews is replacing 50cent?? by coltrautman	Mar 21st, 2009 01:13:34 PM
according to the guy who revealed the 50cent bombshell on Stallonezone...
looks like sly may have taken heed to the backlash by coltrautman	Mar 21st, 2009 01:21:10 PM
if this Terry Crews rumor is true....I think hes a much better fit for the role of the gun toting, mexican restaurant owning mercenary hale caesar

After Rambo... by Batou	Mar 21st, 2009 06:00:29 PM
I'll take Sly's judgement. Jensen Ackles would be good in any film though...
It has nothing to do with 50 Cent as an actor... by Playkins	Mar 21st, 2009 07:04:45 PM
It has to do with the fact that I dislike the image and behavior of the guy on every level. His music is horrible, the image he sells is horrible, his game is horrible, and I will never support anything that guy has a part in. Sorry, Sly. I love what you've been doing the last few years, but I won't be seeing this one if that guy is in it.
JENSEN ACKLES!!! by muri71	Mar 21st, 2009 07:20:00 PM
i want him in!!!!:)
Reason why 50 cent wont work is... by sho_me_da_money	Mar 22nd, 2009 04:09:01 AM
Because he is a risk that could go right or wrong. Based on the roles he has played, he hasn't done enough for me to involve him with a cast of this magnitude. The same can be said about Randy Couture but Randy as a real life fighter in an all out action flick is believable. 50 Cent as a Rapper with muscles in this movie doesn't make sense. If it was really about 50's acting ability, then would he have been cast if he was as skinny as Jet Li? I'm gonna bet NO. So if Stallone wants a mean machine actor with muscles, then there are much better actors to choose from. Some that have already been named above. The bottom line with Mr. Jackson is that we know he is a risk BUT is it a risk worth taking? Im gonna say No to that.
