Steven Seagal, incredibly selective thespian and bastion of integrity, has revealed why he’s never starred in one of those Expendables movies: he doesn’t like the people that make them! Speaking to The Big Issue, Seagal revealed, he “just didn’t like some of the people involved,” adding further salt in Sylvester Stallone’s wound by saying, “life is too short to […]

Though no one could ever truly replace Nicolas Cage, Kelsey Grammer will do his darndest by taking on a role intended for Cage in Expendables 3. According to Deadline, the former Frasier star will play Bonaparte, “an ex-mercenary who helps the Expendables in their mission.” It’s unknown why Cage turned down the part. We suspect […]

Fruitvale Station director Ryan Coogler has the world at his fingertips, thanks to the rapturous acclaim his picture has received since bowing at Sundance.

There is no truth to the rumour that Nicolas Cage is confirmed for The Expendables 3, Deadline reports. Rumours flitted across the web yesterday when a Sylvester Stallone fanpage on Facebook suggested Cage, “a master actor who gives a veneer intellectual group” (whatever that means), had joined the cast of the action sequel.

Dredd 3D – Starring Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby, and Lena Headey. Directed by Pete Travis. Rated MA. By Simon Miraudo.

Sylvester Stallone‘s testosterone-fuelled Expendables films could find new life as a TV series, Deadline has revealed. Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer was reporting his company’s fourth quarter reports via conference call, and hinted that franchises like RED and Step Up – recently acquired in their Summit purchase – could be headed to television screens as ongoing series.

A trailer for The Expendables 2 premiered online recently and the internet immediately became 63% more masculine. Explosions, big trucks, cargo planes, explosions, guns, knives, explosions and roundhouse kicks abound in this predictably loud and hectic trailer for the upcoming man-fest.

Screenwriter Marcus Webb is suing Sylvester Stallone for allegedly ripping of his script and using it as a basis for The Expendables.

So, not every over-the-hill action star will make an appearance in The Expendables 2. Deadline has revealed Mickey Rourke will not reprise his role from the first Expendables movie, citing a scheduling conflict with his new project (although, they suggest Rourke’s proposed paycheck was not tantalising enough, and the actor is looking for more award-worthy fare). He will […]

It’s becoming very difficult to keep up with the casting of action movie heroes in The Expendables 2. We already know that John Travolta, Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme will (probably) join Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, Terry Crews and Mickey Rourke in the sequel to the hit 2010 flick (with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis also reprising their small roles).

Criticise The Expendables all you like (and believe me, I have) but it’s impossible to deny that audiences are chomping at the bit to revisit the testosterone-packed universe created by Sylvester Stallone. Work on the sequel is progressing nicely, but the L.A. Times is reporting that Stallone will not return as director. Stallone is instead […]

It’s a smart move for any film to distance themselves from Sylvester Stallone‘s disastrous nineties vehicle Judge Dredd – a movie like The White Ribbon could have perhaps only been bettered by Michael Haneke interrupting proceedings and announcing his distaste for the wildly misguided comic book adaptation. And hey, Haneke is exactly the kind of […]

source: empireonline.com OK, we fibbed a little. Mickey Rourke isn’t so much driving a stake through Sylvester Stallone‘s back as he is calmly tattooing it. In fact, Stallone looks like he’s kind of enjoying it. The shot comes from their upcoming action smorgasbord The Expendables. The film, written and directed by Sly, features an unstoppable […]
