I just wet myself! ARNIE!
YES
In Darth Vader voice...
Sly and Ahnold. Looks like this is gonna' be a fun movie.
in the movie it should be Prez. Arnold though
Even if it is just a small role, it's still cool shit! This movie may not be the greatest cinematic achievment in the history of world, but man it's going to be FUN. I wish JCVD got off his high horse and decided to be in it.
I bet Tarantino is shitting his pants right about now. This movie's gonna rock!!!
Wasn't there talk Arnold was going to play the president?
Vern will shoot anyone who disagrees. In the face. With a gun. Filled with bullets.
Yup.
maybe arnold can take his paycheck from the movie use it to rehire some of the thousands of people being fired by the CA gov't. politics aside, this news is FUCKING SWEET!
2 strikes.
Whip lash, Ow!
I hope they have screen time together.
...but Arnie without a big motherfuckin machine gun? BORRRRING!
We need another "If it bleeds, we can kill it" Dutch type, only older and craggier and pissed off, etc, etc...
... to some of us anyway. Seriously, this is some of the greatest movie news I've heard in a long time. Poor Van Damme, he really should have got on board.
Your source is Sly himself. Admit it.
The guy from Strike Commando (best Rambo ripoff ever) and the American Ninja himself have to be in this!
Fucking amazing this is finally happening. It would be even better if Arnold was one of the stars, but still, fucking amazing. I for one would really like to see Arnie get back into the movie game after he's done with his whole Governor thing in CA in 2010. Hell yeah, this is very cool news.
Oh, nevermind.
There, I said it. Even though I have yet to see both films.
it's not really the team-up we all have hoped for for the past 20 years or so. Now Stallone just needs to get Chuck Norris.
Does he really think Bloodsport 2 is a better route?
and it will lay waste to everything else with the nuclear awesomeness of TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION.
this now has my interest
...mission complete, Stallone returns to the Governor's mansion. Arnold (in his second scene of the movie) congratulates him, then they get into a little sparring conversation, building to a face off, neither backs down, then BOOM they swing their power punches at each other... freeze frame and SCENE. FADE AND ROLL CREDITS.
Yeah, that's how I'd play it.
Does this mean Mickey Rourke won't be in Iron Man 2?
If this were 1994 I might be pumped for this, but right now it seems like they had their chance and they missed it...besides, after all these years if there is one thing we have learned its this-Chuck Norris could kill them all at the same time.
I'm not quite clear, I mean how can he be in a movie if he's still the Governator?
Stallone... Statham... Rourke... Roberts... Jet Li... BEST. CAST. EVER.
Ah, the Rocky III ending. But only if they never tell us who won should a sequel arise. Spoils the fun.
Arnie is going to play HIMSELF? This sounds...weird. So in the universe of this film, Arnie is a film star (as he really is) and Stallone isn't...I'm not sure guys. This sounds a bit strange to me, doesn't sit right for some reason. If Arnie plays the president or a grizzle, cigar-chomping old general for 5 minutes, then I'm in. Totally in. However...
We get IOU's for state taxe returns, but Arnold can spend a day playing with his friends. Excellent.
you'll just disappoint yourself one way or another.
Not really, they've cast this the way we wanted them to cast IB. I.E, with 80s action stars.
They would rather have thousands of people lose their jobs than raise taxes in the state. Their the reason the budget isn't being voted through the legislature. He's done everything he can to get that damn budget agreement through.
THAT HE HAS TOTALLY FUCKED UP
I didn't want 80's action star neccesarily for IB. But the original suggestion that Tarantino made years back of people like Michael Madsen always had my vote. Add to that Bruce Willis in Brad Pitt's role, Tim Roth, Mickey Rourke...I'd be sold.
BOOIE BOOIE!
Word. Maybe 80s action stars is the wrong wording... but it was a film for men. Willis would've nailed the scalps line in that trailer, because he's lived long enough that you'd buy it. Heck, if they got Punchdrunk Sandler he would've been great in Roth's role - can you imagine that guy smirking at the thought of scalping Nazis? Insane casting loss.
really ought to be kicking himself for not taking the opportunity to get involved with this movie! I'd say the same for Seagal, but it doesn't seem he was invited! :-D
Will this movie be more fun than the Rundown? That's a lot of cows!
Eric Roberts replacing Ben Kingsley is not something that warrants an exclamation point.
Screening tonight of OUTLANDER in Seattle with the director Howard McCain talking afterwards and answering questions. It's at 7 pm at the JBL Theater, 325 5th Avenue North - presented in partnership with The Science Fiction Museum and Hall Of Fame. It only costs $5 to get in. The movie is great fun, check it out.
Even if it only is just a cameo, Stallone and the govanator in the same movie is kickass!
dare i say this is going to be?
He needs to be in it! that greasy falcon crest motherfucker!!!! sign him up NOW! and yea.. The American Ninja is also a must! what about ponytail segal? no love?

...isn't Arnie's endearingly epic surname spelled "Schwarzenegger" with an "ER" at the end instead of an "AR"? I'd hate to think all my DVD cases had typos on them!
I think an equal dose of 80's action stars and more recent actors (like Madsen and Tim Roth) would have been perfect casting. And yes, word indeed on Willis delivering the 'scalps' line perfectly. I can picture it in my mind!! I would also have loved to have seen a vicious, skinny, evil looking Ian Hart in Eli Roth's place ;)
Needs a good role again. Sin City was hard to take.
...this made me laugh so hard I nearly cried! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3dtuzdd9ek
and the movie will be perfect!
whos only real skill is being Julia Roberts brother
...that Harry didn't even bother to look up how to spell his name. Absolutely pathetic.
He's also the best backlit guy in Hollywood.
Stallone, Schwarzeneggar, Rourke and Roberts all in the same flick! The 80s just exploded in my face and it burns so good!
It exploded like Bill Duke's spleen in Predator.
I was just thinking the other day about how awesome The Expendables is going to be. I love old-school 80s action flicks and Rambo (as silly and ridiculous as it all was) showed that Stallone still knows how to blow shit up good and look fucking badass while doing it. I loved the ultra-violence on display in that movie and I love the idea of Stallone doing it again in a tough-guys-in-the-jungle flick. But the fact that this movie has Mickey Rourke and Jet Li in makes me already cream my pants. So that's too fucking awesome already.
But then, just a day or two ago, I was thinking about how I wish that Schwarzenegger could be in this flick. I wrote it off as not even being a possibility, so you can imagine my joy at seeing the headline of this article. Sure, I'd love to see Arnie go apeshit with everyone else in the jungle, but I'd rather have him as Governor than not have him at all. This just fucking rules. I want to see this movie so damn badly.
Been hearing this for a while and finally...the two kings of action are together! Let 2010 come because THE EXPENDABLES will kick every films ass that year!
Eric Roberts has more talent and charisma in his smirk than his sister does in her whole entire being.
Please for the love of God cast Frank McRae!
deserves to be in this film and have a scene where he beats the holy living hell out of Dolph Lungdren.
Only if Bill Duke is in it.
or did he figure after he fired 40,000 public employees he had time to kill?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Tell your source, I will be there with bells on!

...stands balls high to Arnold? Then again...who doesn't? This is going to be the best flick of all time.
must feel lonely.
stallone's only a few inches shorter. he's not pacino or cruise. 6'1 vs 5'10 isn't a problem for camera angles.
He's in Asylums ripoff with Snipes, Lundgren and Norris
Character piece for JCVD to join....douche.
That is interesting news, but I think Ahnold has real state-wide problems at hand. Take care of your shit first good Sir. I'm also going to predict that since Harry already has a chubby for this flick, a glowing review is on the horizon for this movie, even if it's an hour and 50 minutes of stallone jerking off while doing a handstand. Just remember to tickle the balls when blowing Stallone, Harry. Do mind the stepchildren.
The same producer (Avi Lerner) and studio (NuImage) doing THE EXPENDABLES is doing CONAN. Arnold will sign to do CONAN next...watch and see!
I never thought this would happen after that 'terds movie turned out not to be what it was long rumored to be. I'm glad Mr. Stallone saw the opportunity to make us extremely happy and took it. :D
you know after the awesomeness of JCVD and the brilliant performance Jean Claude gave I got excited that he may be on a comeback. I grew up watching him, so did most of you im sure. Seeing the cast line up of this film all these guys in one movie...even Arnie as himself is weird but cool. I cant beleive Van Damme said no..Im heart broken. SLY!!! i know your Harry's source!!! Dont give up..tell Van Damme to get off his high horse and get in this movie!!
Thanks Democrats for putting in this Enron smoke shield -- thanks California for thinking a robot movie star could lead the fifth largest economy in the world. He fucked up this state and now he wants to play movie star again? Well, at least we know you're not getting near the Oval Office you crook. Fuck Arnold.
Bliss and love. *hugs everyone*
Go Stallone. Go Eric Roberts. Go Mickey rourke. I know this sounds cool and it is. Yet Arnie won't be grabbing a gun and kicking a$$ with Stallone. Ring Jesse Ventura. See what he is up to.
Bad choice. Very bad choice.
Tarantino stated he never wanted to cast Sly, Arnie, etc. He didn't consider anyone but Pitt and he knew the other basterds were going to be Jewish kids. It ignites the themes of the script (propoganda), in the imagination of the nazi's, the basterds might as well look like sly and arnie, but in reality, they are kids. It isn't Dirty Dozen, its a different beast. Tarantino probably got the cast he wanted (aside from Pegg and a few others), i'd take that over talkbackers who didn't read or write the script. that being said, i hope this is good.
His state's drowning in a complete socialistic meltdown... oh but he has time to resume his film career.
I want to see Arnie in the mix. Let's do this mutha!
February 17, 2009 8:25 PM CST
by Mr. Nice Gaius
I'd really like to see Sly knock this one out of the park. After his patient, heartfelt turn in ROCKY BALBOA and then the all around WTF?! kickassery of RAMBO, I think he's clearly got the skills to pay the bills.
Make it so, Sly!
harry to never again do a DVD update because he gave up on the site or something
the blood bank.
I have heard in my entire life.
They should be commenting all over this story...
Heh.
That would put this shit over the top into the stratosphere of kick ass. Bruce,Chuck Norris and Kurt Russell should round out this cast. I wouldn't mind seeing Carl Weathers either. Who ever suggested him in a scene beating Dolph's ass in dead on.That would fucking rule. Either way I will go see this shit twice opening weekend. Sly is the fucking man, he gave us all the Rambo that we were dying to see in that last film. Brilliant sir, Brilliant.
moonlighting piece of shit. Seriously, this is awesome news! I think that the more time he takes off for making movies the better off both California and movies will be.
See? Obama DID change the world.
FUCK ASSHOLES and NOT eyballs... Find a place for Tony Jaa in it dammit!
AM I DREAMING?! All hail Stallone!!!
With the US and world economies as fucked up as they are, I don't think anyone could have made a major difference with California's current budgetary and economical problems. He's FAR from a great administrator, but but there are no magicians who would have put CA in the black while the rest of the country took a nose dive. The Governator never held a gun to people's heads and told them to take out do-or-die mortgages on massively overvalued properties, then fill said properties with stuff they couldn't afford. Though that might be a good movie.
The addition of Arnold is gangster!
That is all. Prayers have been answered.
That's right, I said it. A day's shoot is not cool news. Everything else about this movie is, though. Love ya Sly!!! Hurry up wit dis movee.
Damn, this is awesome, although, I'm slightly confused. So, he's playing himself? As the Govenator? That's kinda of lame. He should just be general, or US President or something. As for Kingsly, well, I'm dissappointed. I was looking forward to him being in this. Also, CARL WEATHERS and RUTGAR HAUER need to be in this. and ERNEST BORGNINE too.
I get the feeling that Stallone has stopped trying to pander to Hollywood, and has instead decided to cater directly to fanboys. This is unlikely to get him back on Hollywood's A-list, but it could yield some really fun genre flicks for the rest of us.
Call Doc and fly back to the year 1989 ...then this would be awesome
Whereas Sly has not nearly reached the peak of his Second Coming, Arnold's glory faded long ago. He was horrible in T3. Never saw Collateral Damage but it's not like anyone's brought that up as some kind of monster role. Wish Sly had not given him this cameo - Sly has an amazing cast already and we don't need Arnold taking up any of the spotlight. In other words - he'd be distracting.
I think having Arnold in it is totally for the geeks. We've been clamoring for it since this project's inception. To be, this is the best movie news all week. This is huge.

Go Sly, Fuck Inglorious Bastards
It means total kickass destruction of the the ultimate in A-list action stars Co!
Come on? Nobody thought of this line? It is obviously where Sly got the title from
"And that story will also be told" or something like that.
Just give me a Milius directed and Arnold starring King Conan. Then I can die in peace, lol. They promised it!
Dope up on steroids together. We need more steroids in movie stars these days. When will we just fucking allow steroids in all facets of life. Anyone still mad and think that athletes and movie stars shouldn't take steroids is fucking lame.
In terms of being a blockbuster event, this is definitely about 15-20 years too late. If it had been released in the late 80s/early 90s, it would've been a tentpole release aimed at Memorial Day or July 4th weekend. But in 2010, it will primarily be a nostalgic ride for fanboys and those who grew up in the 80s and 90s. But I've always wondered when the 'ideal' Stallone/Arnold match up should've occurred. When you think about it, they were never quite on the same level. During Stallone's mid-80s prime, Arnold was still making films like Raw Deal and Red Sonja. And by the time Arnold began to take off in the late 80s, Stallone was already heading for his early 90s decline. Maybe 1994 was really the year we should've seen them team up? 1993 had been a big one for Stallone, while Arnold's stock had dropped down a notch. Both were still in their prime and the 80s style of action film was on its way out. Could there have been any greater swansong?
Lundgren is in THE EXPENDABLES, why are you demoting him to the Asylum ripoff?
having Arnold in this even if for a cameo is amazing...its like a geekgasm....its what fans always wanted..granted they wont be kicking ass together...they should make Arnie the president tho...to keep up on the whole Demolition man thing... actually, the whole casting of this movie reads like stallone just went to fanboards and took off some dream wish... now, Cast KURT RUSSELL sly!
And Arnold can have a bigger role in "The Expendables 2: Expendabler."
I'd love to see Arnold return as Conan, but unfortunately, it's probably too late. Would Nu Image really consider Arnold a serious option for their proposed franchise? And if Arnold does return to film, would he really want his big comeback to be with Nu Image? I still can't believe the film came *so* close to happening...and then suddenly Arnold was governor of California instead. WTF? It's also ironic that Conan was already a king in the first few Robert E. Howard stories, and yet no one ever made a film version featuring that older, wiser Cimmerian.
MACHETE MUTHAFUCKAS!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, the casting continues to amaze!
http://www.latinoreview.com/news/exclusive-machete-joins-the-expendables-6199 exclusive from latino review...the names keep coming..
Wow. This is really going to be the greatest movie ever!!!!!! Sly is doing it so big right now I can't even explain it. Wow!

Wiki doesn't have an article and IMDb is pretty vague. I'd like a detailed synopsis or something.
Antohony Bourdain goes to the Philipines on Monday (something I've been hoping for him to do) on No Reservations, and on Tuesday we get Ah-nuld AND Eric Roberts, who I've been begging for to be in this movie...Stallone, you are now my personal Jesus...
So it's obvious your source is Stallone, given his relationship with the site. The question is: after "Terminator 4: Salvation: Not Directed by Cameron: But We Have Batman: We Love Colons" and Schwarzenegger makes his cameo there (and c'mon, we all know it's going to happen in some form) and disappoints, will anyone still give a shit about this?
AUUAGUADGGDHGKDKGDJHDGJKADL I just CAME in my fucking pants.
im probably late with that but fuck, i skimmed through this bitch.
manage to get Willis as a General, Russell and/or Norris, I think I'll name my first child after you...yes Slyvester Stallone Robert
even if it's a girl
Sly I know you are probably reading this, if you have the time and you think the script might need a few fixes to get it where it needs to be, why not get another screenwriter to help?. I'm just saying that might be even more important than bringing the Governator. With that said...O....M....F....G!!
...when do we get a REAL Stallone/Schwarzenegger team-up flick? Just the two of them. No distractions. Kicking seven sorts of ass with plenty of explosions.
How about a role in The Expendables for Chuck Norris? Please?
IT MUST BE COMPLETE!
How can you make a movie starring old school action heroes and leave out Chuck Norris? Blasphemy!
...it'd also be nice to see a Sho Kosugi cameo.
I think Chuck's done with movies, I doubt he'll show up in this. Although it would be pretty awesome and hilarious if every single extra bad-guy was some notable 80s action hero.
please Mr. Stallone...find a place for Kurt Russel and Bruce Willis. Complete the masterpiece.
I started camping out just now in front of my local theater. Fuck I'm cold.....how long do I have to do this?
Thank you. And not just for this film, but for all of them - the good, the bad, and all in between. Keep up the great work. It's so nice to have heroes again.

Billy whatever his name was. I think that was his character's name in 48 Hours and Predator. Hopefully, he isn't dead or in lockup. They said he was crazy on screen and off.
and he's apparently running for office.
THE EXPENDABLES NEEDS YOU TO COMPLETE THE AWESOMEFECTA!
Tell me he ain't running for the governorship of New Mexico or someplace.
Sonny Landham actually ran for Governor of my state (Kentucky) a few years back. A friend of mine went to one of his rallies and got me an autograph.
http://tinyurl.com/caey7w
Say it with me everyone: "I wouldn't waste that on a broke dick dog..."
Let the Avatarians beware...
WILLIS WILLIS WILLIS. THEN IT IS SET !
Finally, Sly and Arnold together on celluloid! Too bad it's not as ass-kicking partners saving the world from certain destruction! Regardless, I'm in!!
Something like Arnold is the one pulling the strings to send in teams into jungles, including the Predator one too, so he basically sent in his other character Dutch back then. Or he is Dutch turned Governor and is now "in the zone" with teams going into jungles since he did it before and knows thier uh plight or sexual fascination with bodybuilders heading into jungles. Hah ! But really though Predator is the greatest movie of all time.
Next time, inform us of good news such as this without the pathetic smugness.
Now we get a roid-raging Stallone, a plastic Rourke and a flabby Arnie.
It's good, don't get me wrong, but a team up flick at their peak would've been awesome.
ever!
who's in charge of the expendables rather than playing himself and having some ridiculous past history that Sly's character was some extra who worked on Conan. C'mon Sly that screams lameness! It would make every fanboy out there's day if Arnold played a general in one scene where he was in charge of the Expendables and gave them their orders or something. Then Arnie and Sly can trade quips and insults...similar to Arnie and Carl Weathers at the beginning of Predator...THAT WOULD BE FREAKING AWESOME...but this I dunno.
It annoys me when they do other things, what happens with their jobs when they are away? Does someone fill in? Does their pay get docked, or does the tax payer pay them a wage while they are off earning money in other ways? What if there was an emergency that needed their full attention?
A few years ago over here in the UK a politician took part in Celebrity Big Brother for a few weeks. Now I may be wrong but I believe he was actually a local MP at the time. The press never even mentioned it, was he earning his wage as well as his fee for being in the show?
Is Arny still a US senator? Ignore my last post of not.

I must be dreaming. If this is true, then this movie will be TOTALLY FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSS good to see Eric in this...I know douches will say uhh his only skill is being Julia's brother...umm yeah thats right he never made any movies and was never nominated for an Oscar...oh wait he has made tons of movies and WAS nominated for an Oscar. He may be a B movie guy which means the majority of the idiots who will talk shit about him haven't seen much of his stuff. Umm Love is a Gun? The Ambulance? Pope of Greenwich Village? Runaway Train? and on and on oh yeah Star 80?...fuck yeah. All Roberts would need to be back in the mix as an actor would be a good part. Afterall remember where Mickey Rourke was before? umm yeah in limbo...The Wrestler comes along and BOOM he's back....oh yeah and here is something else...people seem to love Rourke again...I always did...and I rememebr an interview once where Rourke was asked who the greatest actor he ever worked with was....and he sadi....ERIC ROBERTS...and I think an actor knows more about who can act than some Cheetos eating, internet surfing douchebags.
Two eyeball-fucking movies in two consecutive years! Cinema will be revolutionized once again! I think I just came a little! This sounds like T O T A L F U C K I N G D E S T R U C T I O N !!!
Because Stallone only talked money and nothing about the character Van Damme could play. Good on you, JVCD!
Unlike Avatar which will just splooge all over it's own hand prematurely.
I AM BOTH SHITTING AND JIZZING RIGHT NOW. THIS MOVIE IS MY GOD. THIS MOVIE IS YOUR GOD. ERIC FUCKING ROBERTS MOTHERFUCKER. FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
give him a part!
asked to be referred to as "the source" but to not be named. So, I didn't name "the source" - you are all just supposing who the source is. That said, I implicitly trust "the source"
This is THE Men on a Mission flick, Sly's signing up the Governator is just extra gravy...can't wait for this puppy!
The Source, The Source, The Source!
Ok the source is obviously Sly himself "ahem" my arse. Harry ask him if Bruce is joining the total badassery that will be this film even as a cameo. Mind you, I'm as close to exploding with glee with this news as is possible. Bruno signing up too may just send geek bits shooting all over the room!!!
Awe.Fucking.Some.
You guys saying "meh, yeah, maybe 20 years ago" are completely missing the point. If this movie had been made back then it would have raised zero eyebrows as it would have been like an overstuffed cake at a time when we were already spoiled by great action movies.
The Expendables is going to be more than just the sum of its script and execution -- it's a phone call from the past telling today to shut the fuck up and watch how shit like this is supposed to go down.
All "basterds" and other pretenders to the throne will shortly be feeling the strange and vaguely unpleasant sensation of a wildly firing M-60 rammed up their sphincters.
Cool. I really hope it shits all over Tarantino.
This will be a movie to end all movies.
Some suggestions for additional cast members. In any event this movie will be better than WW2 and Jesus combined!
Awe.Fucking.Some.
Our fancy modern cinemas need more grizzled old bastards (not basterds) blowing shit up, shooting the shit out of shit, and possibly chewing on cigars.
No super powers, no crazy costumes, no Hugh Jackman, no CGI - just a bunch of sweaty old buzzards making stuff go BOOM!
I'm pretty excited about this one.
I think I'm more excited about seeing Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts back together again.
I love me some Pope Of Greenwich Village.
The more I think about how this movie is shaping up, the more I'm convinced that Mr. Stallone cares about making a FUN cinema experience. Admission will probably $20 by the time it comes out, but to me that's money well spent.
the Universe will fucking explode!
Cant wait to see this!
This will the movie to end all movies. And we thought 2008 was a good year for film.... this sucker alone pisses all over that!!!
PWNED BY STALLONE!
...and TWO BILLION at teh worldwide box office! You heard it here first.
Action cinema just got PWNED BY STALLONE.
and there we put in the rest of the Wild Bunch: Willis, van Damme, Norris and Russell and...Gibson!

I think that news may just send me over the edge of geekism into the warm dark centre of joy in my heart. Seriously I'm beginning to mist up a bit here.
For this alone I am there...GO ERIC GO!!!
He's in pretty good shape thanks to the Total Gym.
This movie is in drastic need of a Ninja master.
I hope BALE is in this
"Me and you, we're fuckin' done professionally."
'nuff said.
So he is playing the villain in this faggot flick?
SLY IS DA MAN!
Another Q&A please.
and i can die after i`ve seen this flick...this movie will rule for eternity while basterds will be forgotten! SLY IS DA MAN fuck tarantino and his pussy crew&cast!!!!!!!
...Russell and Willis in this - I need some more "give my regards to king tut asshole" and if I don't get it, then this whole thing. . . . FUCKING SUCKS!!
by this movie! Too bad, Quentin! Ghandi out? Shit, he ruled in Sexy beast and You kill me! But for fuck's sake, Eric Roberts will be a fuckin' great replacement, and not an expendable one!
Because you know he'll be first in the queue to see this with the rest of us. I'm looking forward to Basterds as much as I'm looking forward to this. Well, maybe not as much perhaps but still...
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was kind of losing hope for 2009 (apart from the eyeball fucking machine) after hearing Watchmen wasn't that great.
Oh! Add another vote for Chuck Norris.
It'll be like a Tango & Cash fest in my pants.
is the man.
PWNED BY STALLONE
Because this room fucking stinks of stale semen.
For fucks sake, calm down fellow geeks. I like Sly and it's good to see his career resurrection and the casting of has-been and B-grade action stars in one movie does make this interesting, but calm the fuck down.
The people who are masturbating over their keyboards are the same that try to shoot down anyone who expresses interest in Avatar. They're both "in theory" cool as hell flicks that are coming up but lets ease off on the circle-jerking until we see a trailer or something.
do it sly!

Even before the "facts" came out, he was pretty much a joke and putting him in the movie would kill the credibility of it.
BUT THIS NEEDS KURTWOOD SMITH!
Give her a gun, tell her to act angry, and watch as she PWNS Lena Hedley once again.
It does, it really does.
It also needs Mr. T.
There aren't really any real action stars anymore. The concept sells the movie now, not the star. It's why Vin Diesel's new film is F&F4. Does anyone say 'let's go see the new Shia flick'? No. They say 'Let's go see the new giant robot flick'. The exception to the rule is Will Smith. Hancock was a huge hit purely because Smith was in it.
Anyway, I never said this wasn't interesting. In theory it could be awesome, but lets not go crazy. All of these guys have made plenty of unwatchable festuring turds.
And lately discussing 'cool as hell flicks' (my words) isn't what AICN has been about. It's been about the mob-mentality, quasi-comedian cyncics who shoot down anything remotely different or anyone who expresses enjoyment for something they deem uncool.
TARANTINO IT'S TIME TO RETIRE
Brian Dennehy and Tom Berenger
Not this needs Kurt Russel and some John Carpenter's synth music, and it will be the best movie ever made.
Those of us who of a certain age shall we say are getting excited because it's the dream film that has been at the back of our minds for the last 20 years. The reason why Slys career has burst into life again and Rambo was better than we had any right to expect was because the currunt (and Ive spelt it that way for a reason) batch of action stars suck compared to the old school guys. I just hope the CGI is kept to a minimum or even not there.
holy shit, i couldn't stop laughing when you brought this up. You're right-- rather than cast extras as the enemy army, just cast a bunch of old 80s stars. Chuck Norris, Kurt Russell, Rutger Hauer, Billy Dee Williams, Carl Weathers, Dirk Benedict. JUST FUCKING IMAGINE how BADASS that would be.
You forgot Tom Selleck. With the tache. Fucking legend.
There, I said it. Fuck, Sly and Arnie together on screen at last!! I hope they get to chew peices off each other and maybe compare pecs. Officially excited about this movie.
...Eric Roberts, Mickey Rourke and Arnie. This can't be real.

action stud of the 80's can join. They need that guy with the huge jaw from Tango & Cash. Oh, and of course Kurt Russell.
Yeah, it's starting to smell like a soho knocking shop in here, but when was the last time mainstream Hollywood gave any of us a boner? I say rejoice and rejoin the circle buddy.
Sly, make Shane Hurlbutt one of the bad guys, sit back and watch the blood fly!!! Save $$$ on theatrical blood!!! Or put a Shane Hurlbutt mask on Arnie!!!!
I'd buy that for a dollar!
Get Eastwood,Bruce Campbell,Bruce Willis,Biehn,Tony Jaa....the list is endless!
Sly ALONE WITH BOTH HANDS AND FEET TIED BEHIND HIS BACK CARRYING A KNIFE IN HIS MOUTH would kill more bad guys than that lame ass crew.
Dick Veins FTW
Willis is a fun guy, willing to do uncredited cameos simply for the hell of it. You think he doesn't know it would kick ass to be in this? To finally have him, Arnold and Stallone all in one action flick that likewise has people like Li or Statham as the current generation of action heroes involved?
As bad as economic times are right now, you bet the bank that whether it's officially announced or he films in secret that when this movie comes out Willis WILL have a bit part. Bank on it.

Is this suppose to be a prelude to Arnold signing on to KING CONAN? Just sounds funny that the producer and studio boss --Avi Lerner-- associates Arnie in this with CONAN already. Come on Arnie and Avi, make the deal to make KING CONAN down the road! Write and new and better script than what Milius had...or buy it from the WB!
I've had it with shots that look like the camera guy was standing on a polished floor in his socks.
If we're all dripping trouser custard now, opening night is gonna be like an explosion in a porridge factory.
Excuse me while I go cry tears of joy.
Respect to Sly for giving real action fans what they want.
Oh, and if the "source" is reading this, please do not cast Arnie as himself, it will feel too gimmicky and take us out of the film. As others have said, just make him a general or something similar.
Even if Arnold is sort of a tool, his action film mileage, I respect. Amen.
...this is really freakishly unbelievable. While it's definitely nowhere as hot a news item as it would have been even 10 years ago, this has been discussed for 25 years, and now it's actually happening... and it's thanks to Stallone. "Dayumn!", as that cartoon character used to say.
Show's over in this TB. Let's all head on over back to the ' Terminator : Salbaletion thread '. Time to get off the fuckin' set.

It should be a role. Hell, have some fun and cast him as the US president. But NOT as "Arnold Schwarzenegger"... this will just cheapen the film.
I kinda lost interest in them a while back...but I wil still definately see this! I mean, thats a scene thats bound to be classic....I mean Im not making comparisons in acting ability, but the 90's finally united De Niro and Pacino on screen, so it makes sense that years that these two guys should be united for a scene...it only makes sense that the bggest stars of their particular day should unite for at least a second...

on the mission at the beginning. And then at the end, when there are only 3 or 4 Expendables left and they're dug in, trapped by the enemy, with no chance of escape...BOOM! BIG explosions and helicopters UP THE ASS. It's the US cavalry to the rescue, with Arnie (The Prez) himself riding a howitzer – kind of a mickey take of when George W Bush arrived on the aircraft carrier, but less gay. If that's possible.
It's like Space Cowboys with automatic weapons fire!! Whoo Hoo!! :) Hope nobody breaks a damn hip shooting this.
The bad guy from Cobra.
Sly, please don't go all Soderbergh on us. That style has its place, but this film isn't the place. Just make Arnie The Prez and have him sign off on the mission in the first place.
I'm glad that Arnie is entertaining the idea of being in this film, however. Good sign.

Too bad. Blade would be a nice addition.
I dare you not to use "that said" for one day.
Is this true? can someone confirm? they have the story at latinoreview Holy fuck!!!
When Arnie and Sly meet in the film, let them do the pec-flex hand-grip (tm) that Arnie and Carl Weathers do in Predator. But neither one backs down and they let go at the same time.
will now come to order. First, let's take attendance. Sly: here. Arnold: here. Jet: here. Mickey: here. Eric: here. Dolph: here. Okay, now first order..um Eric, Mickey, could you wait until the break for the Pope of Greenwich Village stories
When their hands slam together, there should be a noise like a nuclear thunderclap!
This is epic Olegery.
With Machete muthafuckas!
Another reason to celebrate. I need to open another tab and flip between here and the zone.
in a good way. The level of badassery in this movie has entered levels unseen since The Dirty Dozen, The Magnificent Seven, or The Great Escape. The universe will implode upon itself.
Oh SHI-
Sly is the unnamed source because Sly loves this site, and we love Sly. We need another 20 questions with Sly when this comes out.
repeat viewings and dvd purchases. More of this ilk must be made.
I still don't get the Solder hate. Russell took a year off before filming the movie to work out. To hell with P90X, he should do his own workout DVD. He only uttered like five lines in the movie. Perhaps six if you count growling. "I'm going to kill them..sir." How do action movie lines get better?
I'd pay to see that
Sly - get Russell and Willis and involved.
And make Arnie the Prez - playin himself is too post-modern and... FUCKING SUCKS! or whatever the hell, you know what I mean...
(heads off to watch the last 40 mins of Rambo again... )
how about a cameo of Clint Eastwood as retired general so and so who was Sly's friend/mentor or something like that. Even if he's in the movie for two minutes it's something we'd kill for.
And arms, and legs, and other body parts...
I bet he is just waiting for the call. I'm going to go rent Soldier now. Ha, he only spoke five words. Amazing! SKY GET RUSSELL IN THERE!
still in slightly chubby mode when he was in Soldier. He got sand kicked in his face by Russell, then ordered the Charles Atlast book. The rest is history.

AAAGGGGGUGUGGUGUUUUUUGGGHHHHH!!!!!
As opposed to (ahem) nazi torture porn (ahen).
AN A WAN MAH CLOSEUPS.
I am out of the loop and I dont even know what the hell the Expendables is. Action? Comedy? Still, this news rules and the cast looks crazy-awesome!
Amazing film. Best one I've seen all year including 2008. If rouke does not win the Oscar I will be beyond pissed. Didn't even feel like a movie now that I think about it. It felt like a look into a real persons life. Glad to hear he's in the "Real" "Men on a Mission" film. Arnies is the icing on the cake.
What the last breaking news this site posted? Ok, besides anything regarding Robert Rodriguez.
And the Barbarian Bros!!!!!!
Sorry had to give them a headliner and not an in white only reading area....

He doesn't know it yet, but we know it. And so does Sly.
WHO would've ever thought this would've happened? Tell me, Who? Thank you, Sly. Thank you.
as the president.
with the other 30 something 40 something slobbering maniacs who have been waiting for something like this for the last 15 years or so.
But I'm okay with Kurt Russell, Clint Eastwood, Kurtwood Smith, Kris Kristofferson, Michael Ironside, Bruce Willis, Jesse Ventura (Stone Cold Steve Austin, if he is not available), Carl Weathers and/or Sam Elliot.
And of course NICK NOLTE AND GARY BUSEY!
Here's some old(er) school TB for some of the old(er) school TBers:
Arnie? The sexiest tomboy beanpole on the planet! Awesome!
This news is so good that it's gonna make the Hulkamaniacs run WILD on you brother!
That is all.
Busey and Ironside next.
Good Lord.
He isn't up to the challenge anyway. He's to busy getting hard-ons in his acid wash jeans on some crummy variety show.
I'm interested to know his opinion.
...If Willis signs on, it will be official that TARANTINO was nuts not doing the "geek film" that THE EXPENDABLES has become. Sure, BASTERDS looks awesome and fun, but fuck if Q.T. won't have the lesser action film. Sorry, but STALLONE + SCHWARZENEGGER = best fucking action film ever...and the most awaited geek film of 2010. AVATAR and THE EXPENDABLES will own our ass's!
that there need to be SOME great 80s icons left for the inevitable sequel after this movie kicks our asses and takes our money, right? I'm sure there will be a need to refill some spots vacated by those who gave all. *sniff*
Harry and his (ahems) were not even cute once. That we had to sit and read him trying to be funny & cutesy 3 TIMES was painful. Please refrain from lameness in the future. We all know your "source" is Stallone. This is why it's an AICN exclusive. Second, don't get all excited about Arnie It's a BS piece of news that is being billed as, "OMG! Sly and Arnie together again!", while the reality is that it's a one day cameo that will be over in 3 minutes of screen time. Oh joy. For all intents and purposes, Arnie is not in the movie.
HONG IT SLY! HONG THIS BITTY UP!
SILVA.
in the first 3 seconds.
Nu Image is making some coin from Sly first with RAMBO (113 MILLION + another 80 million on dvd) and then with THE EXPENDABLES. They are reporting that CONAN will cost about 80 million. NU IMAGE can be Sly and Arnold's new house much like CAROLCO was in the 80's and 90's for them. Avi Lerner is their new KASSAR and VAJNA!
if I am alive, that I will NOT see this movie. If I were broke, homeless, and diseased, I would scratch and claw my way inside the theater. If this film was shot with sock-puppets voiced by these actors, I would be there. If the script was given a "dialogue polish" by George Lucas, I would be there. If the enemy was a girl scout troop on their annual jamboree, I would be there. I love this movie, and I've never met it.
a group of ninja girl scouts selling narcotically addictive cookies isn't a bad idea. I call copyright! (That's how that works, right?)

Hey Sly, I trust you wrote a great role for your pal Arnie, but if there is any doubt on your part, maybe it's best to change the role of real life Governor Schwarzenegger to a General role with Arnie in full military fatigues. Maybe the role you have written with Arnie playing himself will work, but it would have to be written smart, or the audience will hate the STALLONE/SCHWARZENEGGER team-up and it will leave a bad taste in the fans mouth. I trust you though since you are one helleva filmmaker. Oh, and if your pal Avi Lerner is reading this, just tell him to give Schwarzenegger CONAN like how you had RAMBO. Conan is Arnold's role, not some young 30 year old punk!
I don't trust a guy that would dick Goldie Hawn.
...and the only good Van Damme is Cletus Van Damme!
He could have some screen time before getting killed like Shane Black in Predator.
Not like it would ever happen, but I'm just saying. And Rob Lowe. Feel free to expand.
Preferably in a Power Loader exosuit.
maybe next month
ThankQThankQThankQThankQThank QT. Would not have happened without Basterds. Who the hell thinks this will be better than Basterds. HHHHAAAAAAAAAAA HHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA HHHAAAAAAA HHHHAAAAAAAA HHHHHAAAAAAAA that sure is some fucking funny shit. In the words of a good sporting tune. WHO THE FUCK WHO THE FUCK WHO THE FUCKING HELL ARE YOU ?????????????

Let Chuck go back to shilling for the Evil Party, sorry GOP.
In other news; Sly, this movie is going to rock! Im loving this renaissance man! Long may it continue :)
Oh, and he has to get the Zabka as the villain.
And who took over?
With another Expendables TB comes another plea by me for Mr. Cobb to get a paycheck.
Damn, only the Avatar trailer can surpass this in awesomeness. If Arnold is doing a cameo here, Sly should get him to play a fuller role in any sequels. The old governor with a military background who comes out of retirement to go on a future mission or something. that's if arnold returns to acting full time, of course, in 2011 (and if he does, then he'd better reteam with cameron for true lies 2). this is an 80's action wet dream of a film. if avatar is going to mercilessly fuck eyeballs, let expendables come back for sloppy seconds!!
God and Sly (probably more Sly) has indeed blessed us children. I hate to sound redundant but this will FUCKING ROCK YOUR PISSANT LITTLE WORLD. Now Kurt, Bruce, Norris, Biehn, Trejo, and Chevy Chase !
Continuing the Sly-centric casting since Kove was in Rambo with Stallone. We NEED Griffith in there too dammit! Terry fucking Silver owns Karate Kid 3!!! Oh and I 47th the motion of having Kurt Russell too. Tango and Cash is Sly's best non-Rocky/Rambo movie.
...to more that one day of shooting. Arnold and Sly needs to measure bicepts in this:)
For example, when we idiotically voted out a governor who was just telling us the truth to put in a terrible actor who'd make lame one-liners and solve our problems...except he didn't, things are even worse now, and no one wants to admit they ever voted for him.
Then he'll nail your wife
nice one chaps!!
an army of Grammaton Clerics to take on Sly's Expendables. The universe explodes.

come back to check how the TB was progressing. I'm so pleased to see that the cock-snot is still being flung around with total disregard for health and fucking safety laws. I reckon that the total pneumatic pressure of all the boners this news has generated would be enough to raise the Titanic and have some left over to raise Tower Bridge....twice!
Vampires.
Say goodbye to your failed political career and hello to your successful action "acting" career... yet again...
to disarm my nuclear warhead. It can still launch, and packs a wallop from impact, but has been defused.
This might surpass the geek cock-snot spraying daily in all theaters showing DARK KNIGHT last summer. While a solid enough film, fans were so busy hosing everyone down to breathe and see that it WASNT the greatest film ever made, thank you very much mr. Orson Welles!
AVATAR is the only film that gets the juices flowing right now (and T4/Transformers 2)...but THE EXPENDABLES is going to own 2010. It will make CON AIR look like a female driven sequel to SEX AND THE CITY. Thats how macho the cast has made the film out to be. If Arnie is to make a sequel to The Expendables, better he not play himself going to war in the jungle. It would scream Arnold Schwarzenegger is as tough as his film characters and could really fight in a jungle. Too confusing for audiences. Sly needs to give Arnie the role of CHURCH or a tough as nails general. Even if as a cameo. Maybe have Arnie pump his arms up real huge for the shoot and have him and Sly flex their guns for the camera. Show that they are 60 but make it seem like they are in their 40's still...ala the PREDATOR scene. Oh, and lets hope Tom Arnold wasn't full of shit and that TRUE LIES 2 follows THE EXPENDABLES. Maybe Arnie will do KING CONAN and TRUE LIES 2 back-to-back just to match the coolness of Stallone's ROCKY BALBOA/RAMBO comeback!
"I love it when he pounds him!"
Remind me again how may Q+A sessions Harry scored with QT after his weeklong set visit? OH THATS RIGHT:
ZEE-ROW.
way to fail it, Queentin.
Now, I was a fan of Fletch lives and Christmas Vacation, but just because he used to be MR 80's BIG-SHOT movie star doesn't mean he can fuck my wife. That's why I took my shoe off and beat him out the door. I mean, it's not like he's Sly Stallone or anything. So, SLY, if your reading...you can come round and fuck my wife anytime. You can even fuck me and my kids if you like.
How could you guys forget McRae, the staple of 80s cinema who perfected the roles of lovable giant and constantly shouting police captain. Come on, you know McRae: 48 Hours, Lock Up, Batteries Not Included, Last Action Hero. Gotta have McRae as Sly's/Barney's trusty, good-natured war buddy.
to review this movie.
that was funny, but got a bit weird when you threw your kids in the mix.
I mean if he can sneak into this then surely they're gonna surprise us in T4 amirite?
This news reaks of AWESOMENESS!
I always thought that he had this disturbing, creepy aura and maybe there is a role for him as an evil General or something like that. I don't mean the kind of "I fought in 20 wars"-General that Arnie should play, but more the "I sent soldiers to 20 wars from my nice little office and don't give a shit about any of you"-General. Y'know, like that kind of guy who left Rambo behind in part 2.
:(
Micheal Ironside,Kurtwood Smith and Lance Henriksen..please Sly if your reading this...find a place for these great 80's character actors.
Vern, is it now over 70-80 million?
Getting KR onboard would be the cherry on the pie. Go on Sly, rub Tarantino's Inglourious weasels into the dirt!

If Arnie is only a cameo (and I hope Sly beefs up his role and Arnie becomes a small co-star instead) their encounter with each other has to be nothing short of legendary. It has to hold up to the promise of a 80's/90's team-up action film...or it will dissapoint. Here is to hoping the cameo is as great as the RAMBO films and PREDATOR combined. But no preasure Sly LOL
Fucking unprofessional.

I apologised for not having enough Vodka in the house, said best of luck, and left.
The man is a legend and needs a role in a decent film.
...Michael Ironside was fucking Chevy Chase. So I left silent and called James Cameron for an advance screening of Avatar, because after seeing what nobody in the world should see, I don't wanna see anything else in my life anymore and want to remove my eyeballs by fucking.
your absolutely right the wrestler has such a documentary feel to it.i hope rourke wins but i have feeling they'll fuck him and give it to sean penn.
She absolutely loved stallone,arnold,bronson,norris.she was the coolest grandma ever.i'll never forget her undying love of lonewolf mcquade.i also have fond memories of watching commando at her house all the time.going with her to see predator and her sneaking me candy in her purse.She would have loved to see this
2008 blew ass bro. Did you see the jokes they have lined up for the oscars? Heck Rambo was the only satisfying movie.
Bill Duke, Robert Davi, Grand L. Bush, Vernon Wells, David Patrick Kelly... You know just about every guy who ever starred in a Joel Silver produced 80's action movie.
And isn't his state kinda in the shitter right now?
And don't I live in that state and know that the state is in the shitter? Sadly, yes...
I'm not.
the Basterds and the Expendables. Why not? Two movies about groups of guys regulating on evil asses? What's not to love? This "choose a side" mentality is ignant. I have a chance to enjoy TWO movies, why not? Of course, if one DOES suck, there's the other. Win for me!
The guy needs to go back to Angelina Voight and hasn't acted since Fight Club. Pointless movie, poor cast and just all round rubbish. Germans? Gimme a break
Do it for the fans.
You are a very, very creepy person.
This movie only lacks one thing...Al Leong...even if he only lasts ten seconds on screen...you would have casting perfection.
Scott Adkins, Danny Trejo, Eric Roberts and of course Schwarzenegger have all been mentioned on talkbacks as people who should be in this. We still gotta work on Michael Jai White and Gary Busey though. Also I would like to request that former governor Ventura could cameo as Barney's old Navy SEAL friend who he goes to for help finding the new Expendable.
Not sure about Adkins, but - I'm pretty sure Trejo, Roberts, and Schwarzenegger ARE in it. They also SHOULD BE in it, but - I think those three are confirmed, unless I'm missing something...

They should play evil brothers, and they should compete to see who can chew the most scenery.
It's never too late. Maybe for the sequel...
And if Stallone really wants a French speaker, get Jean Reno or Vincent Cassel. Both of them could kill JCVD with their glares alone.
LeBeouf! As in Shia!
i already sold.i am going to watch the movie at the cinema,even if its the worst movie ever.
BRING IT ON.
Gary Busey has to be in it and of course...Snake.
I can't believe we didn't suggest Ventura, and that was after the OLEG Movie Club just did Predator.
This stuff'll make you a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus. Just like me.
You know I still to this day laugh the every time I see Jesse open up with the mini gun in Predator.
If it were Arnie and Sly reading out of the NYC phone book, I'd go see this. I'd be utterly disappointed and wondered why they were reading out of a phonebook. But nevertheless...
Oh, hell yeah. If you want to see just how far down the rabbit hole the addition of those two could go, you need to check this out (hilarious):

It was movies by Arnold, Stallone, Bruce Willis and Jackie Chan that filled my action needs... Get him and Jet Li again somewhere, anywhere! Make them cameo henchmen! That's my dream cast right there! Also get Van Damme, Jason Statham, Rourke, and I don't know if Steven Segal, John Travolta or Nick Cage would be ideal or just comical... but they had their moments!
But damn this is getting me wet!
I love this shit!
he will fight Dolph at some point.....I love this shit!
would not throw a temper tantrum on this set... He would catch a fist to the jaw!!
is Steven Segal and Van Dam...
as the bad guys..
as the bad guys.. Make this a tie in with Top Gun.. Ice man and Maverick left the Navy to be overseas drug lords and to train evil pilots! fucking epic
have this crew fight the original crew form predator in the final battle of the movie..
to round out the team.. I vote for carl wheathers, bill duke, or wesley snipes..
should play stallones half brother
if Sly has thought of calling steven segal??
This movie sounds more awesome by the day. Just work in Kurt Russell and then have cameos by Bruce Willis and Clint Eastwood AFTER the end credits (ala the Jackson scene in IRON MAN) and this will we awesomeness personified.
And fuck those saying ARNOLD is to blame for all of California's woes. For crying out loud, he's a moderate Republican having to deal with a DEMOCRATIC legislature, which has been 100% Democrat controlled for ages. Not to mention, the state is now $32 BILLION -- yes, that's billion with a "B" -- in the hole because living out here we give provide fucking state services left and right and you have bullshit things like property taxes that aren't even reflective OF the actual property. Add to which you have an exploding illegal alien population which is now at something like 7 or 8% of the state's population, who likewise according to a recent LA TIMES article cost the state over $5 BILLION a year in costs while other estimates put it as high as $10 billion. So even just think of that. If the state's $32 billion over budget, you're talking about a FULL THIRD of the state's deficit being dueto people who SHOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE.
For fuck's sake, even when Arnold DID want to raise taxes and trim the state government, the Democrats in the state legislature wouldn't let him do it...and NOW look where that's gotten you. Completely broke and shit up the creek in a state where the Left leaning populace STILL believes the state should be picking up the tab for just about everything free of charge.
remember "War?" That had Statham and Li in it, and I was prepared for badassery, only to be met by bullshit. and Darth_Tarantino, that scalps video is funny.
And of course also have him join the cast. This guy is pure intensity and he looks like he's aged maybe 5 minutes since COMMANDO.
Have the star and costar ever been *both* the director and 2nd unit guys?
We've been waiting so fucking long. And all his talk wasn't even bullshit!
Is this flick still PG-13? I sure hope not... Can't wait either way, but a R rating and some extra gore a-la the last Rambo flick. PS Fuck Steven Seagal, he lost his swagger when he got obese.
Please get Al Leong on the phone. He belongs in this, at least as a baddie.
Somebody get him away from World of Warcraft and give him a big fucking machine gun!
Mr. T has to pity at least one fool. C'mon he was in Rocky 3 for crissakes. If you have Lundgren, you must have Mr. T
