50 Cent is out! Who is in THE EXPENDABLES? Stallone says...

Better than Fitty by Mastastic	Mar 21st, 2009 01:09:43 PM
I actually like Mr. Crews...pretty funny guy.
Better than 50 Cent anyway by kwisatzhaderach	Mar 21st, 2009 01:10:10 PM

Better than 50 Cent anyway by kwisatzhaderach	Mar 21st, 2009 01:10:11 PM

50 cent = Plank by pdennett316	Mar 21st, 2009 01:11:44 PM
I've seen cat shit with more charisma, 50 Cent is awful. Glad he's out.
Crews is awesome by Tin Snoman	Mar 21st, 2009 01:13:28 PM
Not the most iconic choice, but the guy is awesome in everything he's in. He needs to be in more films.
Dude's awesome in Everybody Hates Chris by CreatureCantina	Mar 21st, 2009 01:14:23 PM
Don't I know I just wasted $.03 in electricity typing and submitting this thing?
President Camacho! by Cyrusk	Mar 21st, 2009 01:15:53 PM
He's clearly part 3 of Stallones 3 part plan to fix everything.
FUCKIN CAMACHO!?!?!?!? by LHombreSiniestro	Mar 21st, 2009 01:20:18 PM
BAD FUCKIN ASS!!!!!!! SO HAPPY!!!
Break it down, Camacho! by milesdyson	Mar 21st, 2009 01:33:05 PM
I hope Crews keeps this role for more than a week.
ok...this role is being recast more than BATMAN! by ABking	Mar 21st, 2009 01:33:56 PM
I hope this is final:)
Good call, Sly. by The Reluctant Austinite	Mar 21st, 2009 01:36:28 PM
Somehow I'm thinking Sly must be reading our comments. Terry Crews just seems like he'd be a lot more fun to hang out with during shooting than 50 cent. He was great in "Idiocracy," a movie that I can't seem to shake. I find myself quoting it all the time: "It's what plants crave. It's got electrolites." Or, "Tonight on 'Ow, My Balls'--."
Now that's kick ........... ass! by Big_Bubbaloola	Mar 21st, 2009 01:39:06 PM
Being Brit, never knew him from his sports career, only from the films and the Chris Rock series. Thought he showed some acting chops in Street Kings, till he got shot in the back by Ted then drilled like all hell by the crooked cops. Now Sly, strap him into a chain gun, and it'll make me into a sexual tyranasaurus.
Why Not Apollo Creed?!? by joegiant	Mar 21st, 2009 01:41:47 PM
I saw him just a couple years ago and he's still a big/imposing dude. Sly, there's GOTTA be room for one more!
thank GOD by THE KNIGHT	Mar 21st, 2009 01:43:24 PM
phewwww!
YES! by Berserkr	Mar 21st, 2009 01:44:38 PM
Glad to see that everyone is in agreement, Terry is awesome:)
Terry Crews rocks. Good call on the casting by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Mar 21st, 2009 01:44:55 PM
Sorry, Curtis was just plain wrong in an otherwise exceptionally cast film :) Cant wait now
by decoy18	Mar 21st, 2009 01:45:11 PM
As far as I'm concerned, he will always be T-Money from Battledome.
wow. Now question is why is 50 cent out? by Talkbacker with no name	Mar 21st, 2009 01:45:16 PM
Sly listening to the fanbase or another reason? Because wasn't that %100 confirmed by sly himself? weird. It's all well and good to listen to fans, but pandering to them can be very dangerous. That said I did think 50 was a terrible idea and gave the whole thing less cred than more, but don't listen to me Sly, I'm an idiot fanboy.
Stallone Definitely Needs to Avoid Pandering to Fanboys by Acquanetta	Mar 21st, 2009 01:51:02 PM
If fans actually knew anything, we wouldn't be fans. We certainly wouldn't be posting in a talkback. The great thing about Watchmen is that it proved filmmakers shouldn't pander to fanboys.
Sly by Outlaw	Mar 21st, 2009 01:53:53 PM
Next time, remember to tickle our balls while you're blowing us!
Perfect! by Vern	Mar 21st, 2009 01:56:55 PM
I think this thing really is being cast by talkbacks. I guess we better request Oleg Taktarov. But I applaud Sly for choosing President Camacho, who deserves roles like this and who in my opinion is more worthy of being presented as a peer with Stallone, Lundgren, Li, Trejo, Rourke, Roberts, etc.
Now post the script. by JohnRyder	Mar 21st, 2009 02:00:09 PM
We might want to do some rewrites. :)
This movie will destroy all competition by I_am_the_ultimate_product	Mar 21st, 2009 02:01:16 PM
I see a couple of romantic comedies maybe releasing that weekend, but all other film releases would be wise to stay far, far away.
I don't hate 50 Cent or him being cast by liljuniorbrown	Mar 21st, 2009 02:06:10 PM
But I fucking looooove the fact that Terry Crews is in this now . I can't think of one movie that he's been in that he didn't steal it flat out.He was awesome in Idiocracy, Friday After Next, and evn that shit storm of a Longest Yard remake.
"I know shit is bad right now" by Kraken	Mar 21st, 2009 02:11:00 PM
This movie just got a thousand times cooler. Terry Crews rules the world. Way to go Sly... excellent choice!
Sharon Stone as Double O Pussy by scriptgirl_nipples	Mar 21st, 2009 02:12:11 PM
Make her the badass female infiltrator.
sharon stone would be great as agent diane lickson by coltrautman	Mar 21st, 2009 02:15:16 PM

50 CENT PERFORMED AT A 13 YEAR OLD GIRLS BAR MITZVAH!!! by THEFUCKINGCREEPYTHINMAN	Mar 21st, 2009 02:15:49 PM
Back in 2005 this fucking faggot got paid 500,000 to perform like the trained money he is at a fucking 13 year old girls bar mitzvah. The worst part is that her father David H. Brooks, who spent 10 MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS on the bar mitzvah, was a military defense contractor who's company manufactured faulty bulletproof vests for soldiers in Iraq. Last time I read he was being hauled off for a vacation at CLUB FED where he is no doubt getting all the internal rectal massages anyone could want in life from.
Michael Caine as The General by scriptgirl_nipples	Mar 21st, 2009 02:15:58 PM
A small role for the original boss, giving Stallone his orders to ELIMINATE the BASTARDS.
No idea who he is, but I expect a "charger" means some sport... by JackPumpkinhead	Mar 21st, 2009 02:17:03 PM
Which at least makes it better than a rapper. Plus, a sportsman should usually be good in a movie - I mean, just look at O. J. Simpson... ooops.
So I take it 50 Cent is now... by seppukudkurosawa	Mar 21st, 2009 02:17:49 PM
Out da club. (Can somebody give me a rim-shot...either kind will do).
Dan Fouts as man in beard w/ beer belly and suit. by Sal_Bando	Mar 21st, 2009 02:19:03 PM
He'll fit the role well trust me.
Terry Crews.... by Docbrowneye	Mar 21st, 2009 02:20:57 PM
Possibly cinema's greatest presidential performance? That is so awesome that President Camacho replaced 50.
seppukudkurosawa....50Cent is literally Expendable by coltrautman	Mar 21st, 2009 02:22:33 PM

AWESOME!!! by antonphd	Mar 21st, 2009 02:22:35 PM
The President from Idiocracy. How can you beat that for cool.
that's what I'm talkin' about! by Jesiah	Mar 21st, 2009 02:23:26 PM
Even in a movie like Serving Sara (pretty decent flick imo) he really did well as a cowboy bounty hunter type. Goes to show Stallone was testing out fiddy and when he saw the negative reaction he knew he had to change it. Supposedly TC is a good Christian dude, so I approve of this casting; then again, anything's better than the last Hale Cesar cast by Stallone
Speaking of Idiocracy by antonphd	Mar 21st, 2009 02:24:10 PM
That film deserves to be released in theaters.
Excellent!! Love this guy! by MaxTheSilent	Mar 21st, 2009 02:25:20 PM
He was hilarious in that fetid pile of shit FRIDAY AFTER NEXT.
WHY THE FUCK NOT JUST GET CARL WEATHERS.... by thecomedian	Mar 21st, 2009 02:27:25 PM
Come On, He can't be THAT old. Come on, Sly. You were gonna go with Forrest Whittaker's fat outta shape ass why the fuck not cast Carl Weathers. ROCKY AND APOLLO TOGETHER AGAIN. BOX OFFICE GOLD.
and Harry and or/Sly.... by Jesiah	Mar 21st, 2009 02:27:34 PM
Why did Terry Crews get cast into this role after that little speechy email about no one initially bought Dolph Lundgren as Drago and Carl Weathers as Creed? Could it be he succumbed to the fans? Let's face it, the only 2 flicks Stallone's had as hits were from his old Rocky and Rambo franchises, this is the first new one he's done in a while so he knew he had to please the hardcore; speaking of hardcore, this flick better be R!
TERRY CREWS' casting is on a genius level by NivekJ	Mar 21st, 2009 02:28:21 PM
His "Cheeseburger Eddy" is the best thing about The Longest Yard. He's the best thing in the Get Smart Bruce and Lloyd DVD. He's the best actor in Everybody Hates Chris! He's simply the best thing since sliced Hawaiian Bread. This movie is going to kick ass.
Good! by br1947	Mar 21st, 2009 02:30:12 PM
Anything is better than 50 Cent. Crap, Michael Jackson would be a better pick than 50 Cent. Actually... that'd be kinda funny. All these badasses and the one scrawny creepy guy they all beat up and rag on.
Likable for being so intimidating in appearance by oh_riginal	Mar 21st, 2009 02:30:53 PM
And a good actor to boot. Even with his small part in "Street Kings" he was good. "Idiocracy was a great film... but it was straight-to-DVD" DUN, DUUUUN!
Why don't they get Carl Weathers? by DivisionPost	Mar 21st, 2009 02:35:12 PM
Because Carl Weathers is a fucking pussy. When he was in the ring with Lundgren during Rocky IV, Weathers cowered in the corner and said - dead serious, mind you - "If he touches me, I'll get my lawyer." I mean, there's not wanting to get fucked up by Dolph Lundgren, and then there's pissing your pants in fear of getting hit by Dolph Lundgren. Carl Weathers doesn't deserve to be an Expendable.
Ah Terry Crews, the greatest American President by Mysterious_Volvo	Mar 21st, 2009 02:36:42 PM
so glad i dont have to sit through this awesome sounding movie having to cringe every time i see 50 pence. Crews is an inspired choice for any movie.
heh, so thats a resounding positive reaction from us talkbackers by Mysterious_Volvo	Mar 21st, 2009 02:37:42 PM

Sly, come on buddy...PLEASE... by ABking	Mar 21st, 2009 02:41:06 PM
Hi Sly, hopefully you know what you are doing casting TERRY. While the guy isn't a bad actor, 50 Cent could have been better for the role (maybe) and a bigger box-office pull. Also, Terry sometimes comes off like a big FOOL in plenty of the roles he's played. I won't judge too much since you must have test screen the guy. But for the love of god...and for the love of the fans, the love of regular audience members, for the love of guys that grew up with you in the 80's...PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE write a great juicy cameo ICONIC role for ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER! I can't stress this enough! DON'T let Arnie play himself because it would come off stupid that Barney knows actor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Then that means Stallone (the actor) must exist in this movie world also, which looks stupid. If Arnie is to play a small, small role, please give him a gun, some bad ass lines, military fatigues and let him be pumped like you. The fans deserve something ICONIC for the first film with STALLONE & SCHWARZENEGGER!
So the cry babby little girls won! by ganymede3010	Mar 21st, 2009 02:49:14 PM
Oh well.
Terry Cres is ok... by Phimseto	Mar 21st, 2009 02:49:22 PM
...but he should have gotten Michael Jai White.
50 Cent is OUT!!! by MonkeyManReturns	Mar 21st, 2009 02:52:22 PM
There is a God and his name is STALLONE!!! I soooo hate that mofo 50 Cent! He can't act and he is a product of a wonderful marketing machine...he has zero talent! 50 cent - A box office pull? What the fuck? People will see this movie for Stallone and Li and the other studs! NO-ONE WILL COME AND SEE THIS MOVIE FOR 50 CENT!! Seriously ABKing...that was a dumb comment.
Ha ha. Now he can go back to selling crack by brock landers baby	Mar 21st, 2009 02:54:42 PM
Or whatever the fuck the buck-toothed gimp fucking does. Btw doesn't he look like Bingo from the Banana Splits?
Sam "the man" Jackson by MoviePirate	Mar 21st, 2009 02:57:38 PM
WORD!!!
Wasn't Crews in Harsh Times?? by Reckoner	Mar 21st, 2009 03:00:23 PM
If that is who I'm thinking of, he was great in Harsh Times, very natural. This is much more promising than 50 fuckin' Cent.
br1947 by Thrillho77	Mar 21st, 2009 03:00:48 PM
"All these badasses and the one scrawny creepy guy they all beat up and rag on." They need to get STEVE BUSCEMI in this thing!!!
President Camacho > Shitty rapper by howzah	Mar 21st, 2009 03:05:24 PM
IMO
You're right Thrillho77! by br1947	Mar 21st, 2009 03:07:49 PM
Buscemi would rock beyond measure!
Talk About A Major Upgrade... by KISSman24	Mar 21st, 2009 03:16:28 PM
I didn't know the guy by name until I Googled him. Terry Crews is one cool dude. MUCH better choice than 50 Cent. Big win for Sly.
Terry Crews by lostmykilt	Mar 21st, 2009 03:16:43 PM
Met him a few weeks ago @ a charity event. He was kind, gracious, and generally awesome. Mentioned he's writing a script for the Camacho character. The guy's been married for 20 years, has 5 kids, and comes across as a total class act. I love to see good people succeed-go Terry!
Terry Crew is FUCKING AWESOME by blindambition238	Mar 21st, 2009 03:21:28 PM
Scary looking SOB who happens to be totally hilarious.
Script for The Expendables by seppukudkurosawa	Mar 21st, 2009 03:24:19 PM
Act 1, Scene 1: Rourke: Hi, my name's Emanuel. Stallone:Hey, I'm Barney Ross. Meet my friend, Lee Christmas. Statham:Alright, mate. Terry Crews: Yo. Jet Li: Lei ho! Charisma Carpenter: Why hi there! Ah-nuld: Hi, I am Ah-nuld. I am a friend of... Dolph: Gunnar. Hi... Trejo: Hola. ONE HOUR OF GREETINGS LATER. Don LaFontaine: And they are the EXPENDABLES!!! Fade to black.

SLY - THANK YOU. by Fenrisulfr	Mar 21st, 2009 03:32:38 PM
I don't know what truely motivated this decision, but you did the right thing !
Great choice. by Stuntcock Mike	Mar 21st, 2009 03:34:52 PM
The only thing better would've been Christian Bale in blackface
Awright!!! by Devilman666	Mar 21st, 2009 03:35:47 PM
Thank you Sly for kicking out that wortless piece of shit 50cent... I was disgusted when I read the news of his casting in the movie, but now that he is out, I look forward, again, to see it..
Hire ABKING to be in it. by Sal_Bando	Mar 21st, 2009 03:35:57 PM
You need a raving loony so why not go w/ the best-?
Rambo pandered to the talkbacks. The result.............. by Stuntcock Mike	Mar 21st, 2009 03:36:26 PM

Nice Work Sly by Turd Furgeson	Mar 21st, 2009 03:36:27 PM
Would have trusted your judgement on Curtis Jackson but based on all the TB's, he was not a popular choice. You've got everyone back on the band wagon.. Now go bench press something!
Good Riddance to Curtis Jackson. These slime shouldn't succeed. by Alfie Boy	Mar 21st, 2009 03:40:53 PM

Good news. by judge dredds fresh undies	Mar 21st, 2009 03:41:23 PM
Hope Slys not taking talkbackers TOO seriously though heheh.
.... by Harold-Sherbort	Mar 21st, 2009 03:45:09 PM
Will there be titty?
Sly - please post the definitive 100% accurate cast list by MaxCalifornia.	Mar 21st, 2009 03:55:49 PM
Seems there are a lot of people still "rumored" to be in this flick with no official word - Danny Trejo, Robert Knepper, David Zayas etc. How about we get an official breakdown of who's who?
Sly - please post the definitive 100% accurate cast list +1 by Fenrisulfr	Mar 21st, 2009 03:57:22 PM
I second that. I really hope Dolph is still in there.
Terry Crews by Titus05	Mar 21st, 2009 04:01:04 PM
just Google'd him...damn the guy's built like a tank...has the perfect look for this movie
NFL representation COMPLETED! by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 21st, 2009 04:05:31 PM
Could Sly be any more cool?? You cannot deny the rare level of awesomery exhibited here! And I don't think there's a "definitive" list...more like a chalkboard list with circles and arrows pointing everywhere....a "floating" cast list so to speak, which is fantastic!
Terry is brilliant in Everybody Hates Chris, And genius in Idioc by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Mar 21st, 2009 04:06:22 PM
One of my fav silly movies that one. Loved the chief Justice called Beef Supreme lol, and it has the best line of dialogue ever Idiot 1: I like sex. I like money Idiot 2: Hey, I like sex and I like money! We should be best friends lol
Crews by BurntRectum	Mar 21st, 2009 04:06:25 PM
is great. Loved him in everything he's done so far.
Ok, but Charisma Carpenter in this movie is awesome! by MrMysteryGuest	Mar 21st, 2009 04:09:52 PM

"pandering to fanboys" by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 21st, 2009 04:13:24 PM
Speak for yourself! Not for the rest of us! I don't consider myself a fanboy. I post here mostly for action movies n stuff. Look at the last talkback...imo it was CLEARLY not just fanboys talking...it was all these fans coming from everywhere geographically and demographically. Sly's Q&A brought vast cross-cultural people. So maybe a lot of the regulars here think of themselves as movie "fanboys", please dont make assumptions about da rest of us, sucka! :P
add Carl Weathers! by darwinmayflower	Mar 21st, 2009 04:17:29 PM

i liked him in "idiocracy" - and he is a real actor by JimmyJoe RedSky	Mar 21st, 2009 04:19:05 PM

50Cent = STALL'OWNED!!! by onemanarmy	Mar 21st, 2009 04:26:12 PM
Hahahahahaha! Now I'm not sure if I want to see the movie itself, or the outtakes first. Sly, big guy....you are setting the standard with this cast. One big actor? No. Three or Four? No! LETS SKULLFUCK THE MASSES WITH AWESOMENESS! YEAAAAAAAA!!! Dwayne Alezando Mountain Dew Herbert Comacho is the only politician I've ever seen on screen and absolutely adored. Well done Sly. This is a decision you won't regret.
This guy is awesome by Norm Cascade	Mar 21st, 2009 04:27:09 PM
EXCELLENT casting, Stallone. Hope you nail this movie.

joining by ballsxcrew	Mar 21st, 2009 04:32:39 PM
the 50 cent hating. seriously the WORST thing to happen to rap/hip hop in the past couple of decades. vanilla fucking ice knew more about hip hop than this clown. ive come to the conclusion that he was shot due to the fact that he is a giant poseur. very glad this joke is out of the picture.
Crews response to Sly's decision... by onemanarmy	Mar 21st, 2009 04:36:26 PM
"I knew you couldn't resist my shit! I got the shakes that'll make you quake. I got the fries that'll cross your eyes. I got that burgers that'll... I just got burgers." Mr. Jackson wasn't too pleased with his replacement, and swore on his "mamma grave" that an entire diss CD was in the making and scheduled to release as soon as possible. T.Crews reportedly proceeded to keep things to the point and simply asked 50Cent why he was being "such a McAsshole" & informed him that the McRib was coming back this summer and he knew who wasn't getting the "hook up." Crews then reminded him to sit his "monkey ass down" because he had some other important shit to say. This has been an imaginary AICN Awesome Mode Exclusive. You keep praying for an Edit button Talkbackers. And I'll keep forgetting to use Spell Check.
Excellent News by John-Locke	Mar 21st, 2009 04:39:21 PM
Crews has been great in everything I've seen him in, especially Harsh Times. Seems like a really nice guy too. Nice one Sly
Thanks Sly! by JethroBodine	Mar 21st, 2009 04:45:32 PM
What else is there to say? I like to think that you listened to us.
My guess on what happened. by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 21st, 2009 04:53:18 PM
(phone rings) Curtis: "Hello?" Secretary: "You've been Stall'owned." Curtis: " Aw shit!"
"This! Is! Freddy Fingers! by otm shank	Mar 21st, 2009 04:57:34 PM
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! Good casting.
Stall'owned should be a section in the credits............ by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 21st, 2009 05:03:24 PM
The upward credit scroll should read as follows: CAST (in order of appearance: ) Sylvester Stallone Jet Li Jason Statham Randy Couture Steve Austin Terry Crews Eric Roberts STALL'OWNED (in order of Stall'owning) Forrest Whittaker 50 Cent DISTRIBUTOR Lionsgate
Welcome to The Expendables Jr. by onemanarmy	Mar 21st, 2009 05:07:12 PM
Would you like to try our ULTRA BIG ASS ACTION CAST!? Another shameless Idiocracy plug I know, had to do it though. On this pandering to fanboys thing, from my point of view movies are my therapy. In the military and/or shitty employment in general just getting the chance to sit back, relax, & pretend you're at home watching MovieNameHere is that happy place (if you will) that gets me from one shitty day in the desert to the next. Hell we look forward to the chance to kick back and live in THAT moment no matter how long or short the movie is. If whoring the TB's with my silly banter, and pleading to an action movie ICON I grew up watching that could or couldn't even be reading all this silly shit...well if that makes me a fanboy so be it. I can live with knowing that movies are my happy place. And a movie like this, coming out of present day Hollywood (read: SHIT) could potentially be spoiled by a millionaire poser...damn right I'm going to raise hell. Again, well done Sly. Your film deserved a better actor anyway. /rant
10 years from now... by onemanarmy	Mar 21st, 2009 05:16:07 PM
There will be a hidden camera show. This show will be hosted by none other than the Man, the Myth, the Legend himself. It will be called STALL'OWNED! And Sly will "Punk" the shit out of Hollywood actors on and off sets. Gibby will make millions after he takes credit for TradeMarking the phrase, and we will have our revenge on Hollywood for all of the bullshit it has remade, messed up, and remade & revisioned again. Furthermore convincing the general public that originality is unnecessary, and turning Joe Moviegoer into a mindless $50 popcorn eating robot. Dibs on the 50Cent episode though, I gotta see it in person.

All right! Terry Mountain Dew Crews. Great... by SID 8.0	Mar 21st, 2009 05:31:58 PM
choice. Definite bright spot in some bad movies. White Chicks in particular. "Great game sunday Latrell." "That's what I do baby." Hell yeah! was already looking forward to this now I really can't wait. To those who say Sly is pandering to fanboys would you rather see another piece of shit movie where the filmaker isn't even trying? I'm looking at you X3.
Penelope Cruz, Tom Cruise... Terry Crews by YackBacker	Mar 21st, 2009 05:36:36 PM

About Stallone and Carl Weathers by P2Rock	Mar 21st, 2009 05:50:53 PM
If you ready the Rocky talkback a few years back you'd know that Stallone and Weathers are no longer fast friends after Weathers held out on him for more money for some cut outs or whatever in ROCKY BALBOA. In those tB's stallone called out Weathers for being a chicken and being scared of Dolph etc. Not very classy, but he was obviously pissed at Weathers. I doubt that he would want to throw Weathers a bone after that but it would be quite a classy move to reconcile. I hope Arnie and Dolph are in this.
Hell yes by hamo455	Mar 21st, 2009 05:54:27 PM
TC is awesome. I hope this is it for casting. Don't want to see this thing become a revolving door. And remember, Indy was supposed to be Tom Selleck, and look how well that turned out in the end...

about 50 as a money maker watch Righteous Kill by muri71	Mar 21st, 2009 07:16:13 PM
this movie made dom. something about 40 mil. with a budget of 60 mil. didnt sounds like fiddy is a movie money maker isnt it?! and hell it had de niro & pacino in it! well better said he had the honor 2 be in a movie with de niro & pacino, allthough he is a talentless prick!

I must admit, I was with a lot of others with a big, "Oh my god, no!", for 50 Cent's casting. Putting Terry Crews in saved this movie for me. He's a great actor and seems to have great chemistry with almost every other actor he appears with. My faith has been restored!

Oh wait I know who that guy is by CherryValance	Mar 21st, 2009 07:44:59 PM
He'll be a massive improvement. Oddest reason I know is because I was watching a live feed of the Watchmen premiere and the one interviewer guy was in love with him. Can't tell you what I know him from, but he'll do. :D For the record the reason 50 Cent was so bad for me is that a) I hate it when they put a rapper in a movie just for the box office because I haven't really seen any evidence that it even works, and b) there is something that is so repugnant about him in my opinion. Maybe it's that image that he has that they sell to the children, but I just want him and the other rappers of his ilk to go away and stop bringing about the fall of western civilization. Other people like Will Smith and LL Cool J aren't even remotely the same thing. They're normal people.

TERRY CREWS AS THE PRESIDENT by Mullah Omar	Mar 21st, 2009 07:48:52 PM
It worked for IDIOCRACY. Seriously, though, this is a HUGE upgrade. Crews has charisma to burn and is right in every way that 50 was wrong. I still would have liked Bill Duke, Keith David, or Adebisi/Eko (it's tough to get the guy's name right so I won't bother), but Crews rocks and I can't argue against casting him. FYI, whether he admits he backtracked or not, I give props to Stallone for recognizing a casting mistake and fixing it ASAP.

I really do think 50 Cent would've put a damper on the film, the second he would've been on screen it would've just been "uuggghhhh, he's so out of place." Because that's how I feel WHENEVER a rapper comes on screen. The movie will be much better for it.

Sly does read AICN by sho_me_da_money	Mar 22nd, 2009 03:50:42 AM
Not long ago I read something about Sly paying attention to what happens on AICN - I think it was around Rambo time. Anyways going from Forrest to 50 was going from an Expensive Beer to Piss. Going from 50 to Terry is going from Piss to a Beer (not an expensive one). Anyways the decision on the cast change is good for the Brits. The key now is to combine a great cast without over-complicating the story. I'm sure most of these dudes will want their Limelight but they really shouldn't be thining about "I". There is no "I" in team. Hope it goes well. It may not be the best movie ever. But if it can stick to a fairly believable story, maintain the momentum and compliment each character, then we may be in for another Stallone success.

That's awesome.
The key to Stallone's success.... by sho_me_da_money	Mar 22nd, 2009 04:24:49 AM
Is that he actually cares to consider the thoughts of the average movie goer. He can give me the old "Believe in my talent as a director" etc. But as history has proven, even the greatest directors have had a bad day (Nolan is yet to dissappoint me though). Ultimately the movie is being made for our viewing pleasure. We the audience have the power to dub flicks a hit or miss. Paying attention to what WE are saying is a sensible thing to do. I'm not saying the fans are always right there are difference of opinions. But you have to weigh up the balance of them opinions. I would guess that over 80% (if not more) of fans have said 50 Cent was a bad choice for this movie. With figures like that, it should be a no brainer for movie makers. I applaud Stallone for his efforts to consider our thoughts. Could you imagine if Spielberg and Lucas did the same?? AHEM...
It aint easy being a legend... by bigdwun	Mar 22nd, 2009 04:29:36 AM
Stallone has the eye always has, I bet 50 would've been good in this, but crews fits the cast better, 50 would've taken away from the overall cast dominance because of his love hate relationship with the range of demographics...Good luck to Crews and the cast, Stallone is notorious for finding diamonds in the rough (ie Carl Weathers, Talia Shire, Milo Ventimilia) even with all the stars in this I expect some of the "Unknown" actors to step their game up and really be the glue holding together a beautiful masterpiece, because they will want to show they have confidence is his faith to direct them and that they belong among the best!

Terry Crews is Hilarious, Versatile and Rock Solid by nexxus7	Mar 22nd, 2009 09:04:15 AM
Actually, one of my favorite roles with him was the Ping Pong movie. I can't remember the name right now. The problem with that movie was the lead actor and some of the script for the short time Crews was onscreen, he was fantastic. Someone nailed it earlier, he is a scene-stealer.Actually when I clicked on I was kinda hoping for the nostalgic choice of Carl Weathers. But realistically Apollo is not much of an actor.
Didn't Dolph Lundgren "Retire" by nexxus7	Mar 22nd, 2009 09:13:01 AM

Stallone should not listen to fanboys but follow his VISION! by ABking	Mar 22nd, 2009 09:29:06 AM
I agree that Mr. Stallone should not follow all the nuttiness of all these crazy fanboys and their endless suggestions of everyone in the action book. The one thing I want is no role of "Govenor Arnold" in THE EXPENDBALES! If I wanted to see Schwarzenegger play Governor, I would watch the news in California. But if fans and the general public goes out and spends $10.00 to watch THE EXPENDABLES, then Arnold Schwarzenegger should be playing a serious balls-to-the-walls bad ass cameo role. Make the role "gritty, brutalized, scarred" like once reported on AICN. Maybe Arnie will credit Sly for coming back to Hollywood action films once he is having so much fun on Stallone's set. Smoking cigars, shooting guns and having fun...what more could Sly or Arnie ask for on a movie set. Hey Sly, suggest to your funder pal Avi Lerner to not make a new Conan film and to give Schwarzenegger KING CONAN. What would Rambo be like without Sly. So what would Conan be like without Arnie. KING CONAN could be as cold and brutal and AWESOME as Rambo was!
SLY came, listened, and CONQUERED by havehope	Mar 22nd, 2009 09:41:19 AM
Well done, Sly. You did a VERY important thing by getting 50 Cent out. I've seen Friday After Next and Everybody Hates Chris and I don't think there is a scale big enough to say how much Terry Crews is better than 50 dimes.

KURT RUSSELL is a two faced piece of shit worst than VAN DAMME! by ABking	Mar 22nd, 2009 10:41:35 AM
After starring in the successful 80's action yarn TANGO & CASH, I couldn't believe this when I read it. It is worst than VAN DAMME http://stallonezone.com/wordpr ess/ Mar 18 Sly on Kurt Russell & “The Expendables” 2009, Celebs, Expendables No Comments » Hey SZoners, Here’s the latest from Sly: I know that many people on the site have asked for Kurt Russell. I asked for him too. Actually, I was taken aback when asked to put the request in a letter and send it to his agent. Subsequently, I was called back by the agent several days later after refusing to send a letter and he said Kurt Russell is not interested in ‘ensemble acting’ at this time. So, People, I came, I saw, I failed. Best, Sly

So much muscle in THE EXPENDABLES by ABking	Mar 22nd, 2009 12:47:58 PM
Sly, Arnie, Dolph, Crews, Stone Cold, Statham, Rourke...all these guys are muscle bound dudes. Now that it has sunken in, TERRY CREWS might be a very good choice. In STALLONE I trust, much like JAMES CAMERON. I can't wait for behind-the scenes photos and a teaser trailer. Heck, I can't wait until Stallone talks Schwarzenegger into a decent size cameo role of 5-10 minutes. Make Arnie a pumped asshole prick who wronged Barney:) Give Arnie a tatto of a death skull on his arm and grey hair and a crazy gotee:) LOL

Make one of the team members have OCD. by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 22nd, 2009 04:04:29 PM

ABking by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 22nd, 2009 04:13:52 PM
Regarding your line from a few posts up: "I agree that Mr. Stallone should not follow all the nuttiness of all these crazy fanboys and their endless suggestions of everyone in the action book." My response: In my opinion, it's not nuttiness, it's called brainstorming. It's people throwing things out there, sometimes in a joking way (How serious was I when I proposed Carl Winslow?). When people throw out 10 names, imo that doesnt mean they want all 10 names in the movie. There's a saying in marrketing that goes like this: Happy customers tell 2 people. Unhappy customers tell 10. In my opinion the AICN articles here do double-duty: They allow for fan interaction, and they promote happy customers. So when a Sly fan is happily throwing out 100 names and feeling as if Sly just might be reading, let him do so. It's for good things.

Someone informed Sly that 50 cent is a punk ass bitch! by Leafar the Lost	Mar 22nd, 2009 08:38:55 PM
Also, maybe Sly asked 2 Quarters to actually read a few lines from the script, and he then released that the "Snitch" couldn't read. I would like to think that this talkback may have had something to do with Sly changing his mind, and actually hiring a black actor to play the part of a black character. Now I can go see this movie.

USING SUPERSTITION TO DETERMINE SLY MOVIE RELEASE :) by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 23rd, 2009 02:34:00 AM
Just for fun. :) - The Expendables is scheduled to open next year. However, Sly's last two movies released on the '0', Rocky in 1990, and Get Carter in 2000, were not his biggest hits. Uh oh? -It's better not to release a Sly movie in yrs ending in the low numbers, 0-1, as these movies include the above mentioned along with Oscar and Nighthawks (in terms of commercial success). -Yrs ending in "2" is a 50/50 toss-up. On one side you have Rambo 1 and Rocky III, and on the other you have D-Tox and Stop or My Mom Will Shoot. It's 50/50. -The safest bet is to release a Sly movie in a yr ending in the mid-numbers, 5 or 6, which so far include Rocky, Rocky IV, Cobra, and Rocky Balboa. -Yrs ending with high numbers, 7-9, are pretty solid. These include Over the Top, Copland, Rambo III, and Tango & Cash. Arguably these are great movies but arguably not as dependable as yrs 5-6.

The thing about Rocky (1990) and Get Carter (2000).... by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 23rd, 2009 02:54:10 AM
...is that they were both released LATE in the year. I'm not dissing Get Carter, I actually enjoyed a good bit of it! I'm just talking in terms of those stupid critics. If Expendables avoids a LATE year release and gets itself out in the spring or summer or something, it can break the Sly '0' movie trend.
kurt is a pussy by muri71	Mar 23rd, 2009 04:38:02 AM

"I know that many people on the site have asked for Kurt Russell. I asked for him too," he fessed up. "Actually, I was taken aback when asked to put the request in a letter and send it to his agent." "Subsequently, I was called back by the agent several days later after refusing to send a letter and he said Kurt Russell is not interested in 'ensemble acting' at this time," he furthermore explained. In the end of his message, he wrote down, "So, People, I came, I saw, I failed." Meanwhile, in a new update to 50 Cent casting report, it is claimed that the rapper won't be taking any participation in the Stallone-directed action project.

Speaking of Michael Biehn by Smoke Monster Loves Kate	Mar 23rd, 2009 10:17:22 AM

Dwayne Johnson? by GetCarter	Mar 23rd, 2009 10:42:17 AM

Dwayne and Statham are a joke by Coled Slawter	Mar 23rd, 2009 12:06:49 PM
The Rock aka Dwayne would ruin it! I haven't watched a movie with him in it since Walking Stupid. Arnie was on crack when he said Dwayne was next in line. And Statham is a joke. All his movies are action comedies. Stallone makes serious action movies and that's what we want more of!
President Camacho should add "class act"... by El Gooche	Mar 23rd, 2009 12:27:43 PM
to his list of middle names. About a year ago my brother-in-law went to a San Antonio Spurs game and saw Terry Crews and Eva Longoria hanging out at the stadium bar/restaurant. My niece and nephew went up to them and asked for an autograph and a picture and stupid bitch Longoria said "I can't right now" and gets on her phone. Well what does Mr. Crews do? He not only signs autographs and poses for pictures, he ALSO TAKES A PICTURE OF MY SIS AND BRO-IN-LAW AND THEIR FAMILY! He tells them to hang on to the pic because it is a "Terry Crew original"! Guy is fucking AWESOME. Hollyweird needs more people like this. Side note: Bitchy Longoria was just sitting there the whole time not doing SHIT! She was just being a total cunt, which apparently keeps her from taking pics and signing autographs. I hate that she's from South Texas too.
Coled Slawter, I have to disagree by El Gooche	Mar 23rd, 2009 12:50:44 PM
Tango & Cash was a straight up action comedy and so was Last Action Hero. For Statham, IMO only Crank (and also part 2) would fall in that category. Unless we have different definitions of action comedies.

Kurt Would've Been The Best Addition To This Cast Thus Far by Acquanetta	Mar 23rd, 2009 02:43:58 PM
Along with Dolph and Arnold, it would've really been the kind of nostalgia/dream project everyone has been hyping. It seems odd that he turned it down, since Kurt is about as far from a Hollywood egomaniac as you can get. A genuinely cool guy. However, it sounds like his agent may be what's standing between me and another Snake Plissken film. Who is this guy?

BringSexyBack, THE EXPENDABLES will gross about 100 million domestic and well over 300 million worldwide. Stallone and Schwarzenegger will have a huge mega hit with an original title that isn't ROCKY, RAMBO or TERMINATOR. Regarding TRUE LIES, you are in a very very very small minority with "T3 lame"! TRUE LIES is James Cameron and Arnie doing what BOND was suppose to before GOLDEN EYE. "T3 lame"!!!???? Try one of the GREATEST action spectacles EVER!

Agree again! Michael Biehn by invictus005	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:38:11 PM
Sly, the fans do want Biehn! Even if it's a small cameo role! Give him something!
Angent Will Sands = Michael Biehn by invictus005	Mar 23rd, 2009 09:40:18 PM
I think that would be perfect. Sly, make it happen man.

Make sure Arnold is safe! by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 24th, 2009 12:35:03 AM
Cover that guy in bubble wrap until the cameo filming. He better not slip on a banana peel or something between now and then, hit is head on the sink and start thinking he's Batman. That would suck!
Michael Biehn really would be a great addition. by JDanielP	Mar 24th, 2009 12:43:38 AM
Want it, Biehn!!!
Randy Couture is NOT a weak link in the movie. by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 24th, 2009 12:46:46 AM
Couture/Lesnar's UFC PPV topped 1,000,000 PPV buys, and was the center of attention during its buildup. Randy Couture represents the present...he represents the UFC era and what appeals to high school and college kids today. The crowd was cheering for him against Lesnar. A weak link would be to NOT have someone like Lesnar. A weak link would be to strictly keep it to a bunch of action stars from the 80s and 90s...such that it goes beyond the synergy of appeal into redundancy. That's an issue that I was worried about for this movie from the beginning... To have Steve Austin AND Hulk Hogan. To have Randy Couture AND Kimbo Slice. To have Jet Li AND Jackie Chan. To overlap, be redundant, repetitive. For one to possibly take away from the other, instead of elevating each other. the casting so far has been AWESOME in its avoidance of this. Sly, Jet, Randy, Jason, Dolph, and Terry all have something to give...and demographics in audiences to draw in.

Roddy Piper! by I_am_the_ultimate_product	Mar 24th, 2009 12:57:39 AM
Please, Sly! No matter what though, you already have my 10 bucks (or 20, if I can find a date.) but Roddy Piper!!!!!
but besides that I WOULD LOVE 2 LAY MY HANDS ON KURTS AGENT by muri71	Mar 24th, 2009 12:58:33 AM
i really would 2 strangle him hard!:)
Hey thats just the way the cookie crumbles... by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 24th, 2009 02:03:57 AM
Kurt Russell was in Disney's Sky Highh in 2005, but refuses Sly's Expendables extravaganza... Bill Murray will go Garfield but doesnt seem to want Ghostbusters 3 that much. Hey, I'm not Hollywood. I dont question it. Thats just the way the cookie crumbles...
Orci & Kurtzman are needed for Expendables. by scriptgirl_nipples	Mar 24th, 2009 02:35:21 AM

Kurt Russell did Overboard... by Jesiah	Mar 24th, 2009 03:44:51 AM
The manliest romantic comedy ever...heck I think the only many romcom. And he was Snake Plissken. So while I would love for him and Steve James to both be in this (God rest your soul Mr. James), he has already cemented his status in my eyes. Also wanted to post here cuz is it just me but have all the news posts here been meh lately.
Michael Biehn....seriously? by onemanarmy	Mar 24th, 2009 05:15:42 AM
Maybe I'm missing something here but he has nothing on the awesome level of the cast as it stands...right now it's over 9000. Seriously though, Ringo Star? He kicked ass in Tombstone. He was in Aliens & Terminator which is cool. But he wasn't that awesome in the Grindhouse fiasco....or anything else that I can think of at the moment. I'm all for it if we're going for iconic 1908's films but he only has a couple under his belt & Chris Walken still needs a part. That's all I'm sayin...
Gibson by OgreYouAsshole	Mar 24th, 2009 05:58:20 AM
You make some good points. However, Couture is not an actor. My hope is that he can prove me wrong and give a performance that isn't stale & stiff. I'm not talking Hamlet obviously, this is an action flick, but just SOME degree of range.

MICHAEL BIEHN SERIOUSLY!!!!! by muri71	Mar 24th, 2009 04:37:44 PM
he was better than kurt in tombstone, only val kilmer was better! he was great in "terminator" "aliens" and "the abyss" (remember that flick?)! in "grindhouse" nearly everyone was bad, medi or just "good"! u cant judge him by a "now" thing, cus really dolph wasnt in anything good since, damn "the punisher or mickey since "the wrestler" and a decade in between...zero! same goes 2 eric roberts, i think he wasnt in anything good since "the pope..." from that point of view michael biehn has more under his belt than those guys. cus the abyss was in the 90`s!:) james cameron...some of you think he is the living god of directing. james nearly wnated him in every movie he was up 2...james already casted him as peter parker way back in 1994! he also was the first choice in titanic, for the part billy zane played. so he cant be that bad or can he? between 80`s-90`s icons i would always prefer michael biehn over christopher walken anytime. if we are talking about actors of the 80´s-90`s in this list, in which walken would fit in! there are a lot of guys way before walken 2 start with: de niro, pacino, nicholson, oldman, penn...! but we are talking about action icons, bad asses, fan faves etc so after these guys played pussy like: jcvd, kurt russell and wesley has problems leaving the country, he tried on scott atkins, so not much are left. michael biehn is a must and bruce willis! after that those are the guys who should be in, mixed up from 80`s til 00´s: vin diesel, bruce campell, christopher lambert, michael madsen, the rock, michael jay white, jensen akles, bill paxton, chuck norris, steven segal, antonio banderas!
Get Gunns & Roses SHACKLER'S REVENGE song for the movie! by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 24th, 2009 05:50:22 PM
It's a new song by a classic band with Terminator 2 connections. And its on Rock band 2. :) The target audience will know the band but not the song, which is awesome. And just read the lyrics! Look at how well the CAPS fit in with the Expendables! Song: http://tinyurl.com/67sveh SONG LYRICS: "I've got a funny feelin’ there's something wrrong today I've got a funny feelin’ and it won't go away I'VE GOT AN ITCHY FINGER AND THERE'LL BE HELLL TO PAY I'M GONNA PULL THE TRIGGER AND BLOW THEM ALL AWAY! DON'T EVER TRY TO TELL ME HOW MUCH YOU CARE FOR ME! DON'T EVER TRY TO TELL ME HOW YOU WERE THERE FOR ME! I don't believe there's a reason (I don’t believe it) I don't believe there's a reason (I don’t believe it) I've got a wicked demon that somehow never fades I'VE GOT AN EMPTY FEELING I WONT BE HOME TODAY. Don't ever try to tell me how much you care for me Don't ever try to tell me how you were there for me I don't believe there's a reason (I don’t believe it)-4x NO ONE IS STOPPING YOU FROM DOING WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. No one is stopping you now, stopping you now." Perfect fit for movie!!

Carl Weathers would've been great, Bill Duke would've ruled... by Darth Busey	Mar 25th, 2009 07:33:01 AM
but Terry Crews is an acceptable alternative, and far preferable to Curtis Jackson, whom I like to a degree, but would've been all wrong for this film.
Thank you... by Samtastic	Mar 25th, 2009 12:10:14 PM
When I originally heard '50' was cast... I was worried. But kept strong since the rest of the cast is bad-ass, to say the least. But this new guy seems promising. However, I feel that Tommy Lister would also have been a good choice. Anyway... can't wait for this movie. xox Samantha out.
Cast Ed O'Neill. by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 25th, 2009 04:56:33 PM
AL. BUNDY. OWNS. ALL. And he looks different enough, having done NBC's West Wing, such that he can be in a serious movie. And yet...people will cheer upon his arrival...for. some. reason.
To El Gooche - Expendables to be buddy type comedic or Rambo-sty by Coled Slawter	Mar 25th, 2009 05:36:25 PM
Name me one action movie that Statham has been in that was intended to make you laugh out loud? Besides Italian Job, I can't think of one. I liked Transporter 1, but it included a ton of dry humor. Rambo, Rocky and Cliffhanger were not made to make you laugh. That's my point. I have no idea if Expendables will be have comedic elements in it.
I meant "NOT" intended to make you laugh by Coled Slawter	Mar 25th, 2009 05:42:49 PM
So this is important to know. Has Stallone stated whether EXPENDABLES will be a buddy comedy or strictly serious action drama?
Too bad Charles Bronson passed away. by OgreYouAsshole	Mar 25th, 2009 07:24:40 PM

FUCK YES Terry Crews! by TheMark	Mar 25th, 2009 08:41:38 PM
Oh man! I wanna see this guy play mean again! Who said cast Ed O'Neill btw? Genius! I don't know how he'd work into this, but if we're gonna bring the late 80s/early 90s up, who doesn't think about the Bundy family?
If this gets recast, I call for Fat Chris Tucker! by TheMark	Mar 25th, 2009 08:45:09 PM
I have nothing to add to this.
Just in - Crews to be replaced by Michael Cera by JuanSanchez	Mar 25th, 2009 09:56:08 PM
It may not seem like the most obvious move, but Stallone is psyched and promised a buff, menacing Cera.
I saw the awesomest weapon today by GibsonUSA Returns	Mar 26th, 2009 12:45:19 AM
Brass knuckles with knifes that flip from them! It was awesome! Jet Li should use one of those. Grab one from an enemy and go nuts on one of the major bad dudes.
Ah, Mr. Stallone... by thebastard	Mar 26th, 2009 04:16:42 PM
IF you do read this (I believe its possible), please take everything said on this page with a grain of salt. We from the internets do have some good ideas, most of the time its crap. Regardless, I have really enjoyed your recent movies. Didn't watch Driven and I wasn't impressed by Get Carter...BUT your writing has always made for interesting films and I for one will definately go and see The Expendables on opening night. Please be sure to have it go out nationally, I live in jerkwater, USA...so...don't forget us. Thanks

50 Cent ruins every film he's in for me. Terry Crews is a like-able fast riser from a small part in Training Day to starring role in Street Kings.
