Thought: Church is either Kurt Russell or Bruce Willis???

Sheryl Main’s Twitter page hinted that “The Expendables” movie will have Sly, Arnold, and a character named Church (with actor not yet announced) all having a major scene together.

It’s definitely either Kurt or Bruce. Gotta be one of them, mark my words. I’m sure we’ll get an official announcement on who Church is later this week.

It’s more likely that it could be Bruce. Bruce and Sly has been best friends for many years, they have never starred in a movie together before.

Report: “The Expendables” to start shooting in New Orleans tomorrow…

Sheryl Main’s Twitter page reports that Stallone, cast and crew, will start shooting some more of “The Expendables” in New Orleans all this week, starting tomorrow.

According to the Expendables official blog, it reports that the actors filming scenes there will be Sly of course, Dolph, Mickey, Jet, Randy, and Terry.

Mickey Rourke will only film for 2 days, so it looks like Mickey won’t be in the film that much.

When filming of “The Expendables” start back up in New Orleans this week, and behind the scenes pics start leaking online, I’ll post ’em asap!!!

Look like Arnold will shoot his scene in Los Angeles with a date to be announced.

I hope Sly will give Arnold some type of action scene, maybe let Arnold give a guy a couple of punches or something. If Sly and Arnold is going to star in the same movie together, everyone is expecting some action from Arnold. Sly should give us what Arnold fans want. More than just having Arnold speak dialogue from the script. I’m sure Sly knows what Arnold fans would want out of this movie and I think Sly is not that stupid with having Arnold in this too.

Report: Church casted for “The Expendables” but will be announced by Sly soon…

Sheryl Main’s Twitter page (Sly’s publicist) announced that the character Church has been casted for the “Expendables”, and expect this one to be a huge surprise…

My 5 guesses for Church that are pretty likely:

Bruce Willis, Kurt Russell, Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and Dwayne Johnson?

Sly tried to get Kurt Russell in the “Expendables” before, but Russell turned it down and not interested, but that can always change.

As for my pick for Dwayne Johnson, Sly might like the idea of the Rock and Stone Cold starring in the same movie together. Dwayne isn’t a bad choice for a cast addition of “The Expendables”.

I expect movie websites like Variety or The Hollywood Reporter to announce the casting of Church, maybe next week?

Report: Antonio Tarver suing film makers of “Rocky Balboa” for not getting payed…

Antonio Tarver who is suing the film makers of Stallone’s final Rocky movie, “Rocky Balboa”, is claiming that he wasn’t payed for playing the role of Mason “The Line” Dixon. Sylvester Stallone wrote the script and directed the film, but TMZ didn’t really clarify who Tarver is suing. The film makers or Stallone himself? I’m sure it isn’t Stallone being sued since TMZ didn’t bring up his name, so it must be the film makers aka the studio. Stallone is not responsible for paying the actors since he is just a writer, director. It’s the studios responsibility for payments.

Report: Robert Downey Jr. hints that Stallone’s “Poe” maybe next…

For many years now, Sylvester Stallone has been talking about writing/directing an Edgar Allen Poe biopic film simply titled, “Poe”. Stallone is not going to star in it, he’s just writing/directing. Could Stallone’s “Poe” be next after, “The Expendables”? That’s what Robert Downey Jr.’s saying.

Robert doesn’t say whether or not he’s playing Edgar Allen Poe, but all he’s said was he read the script, so sounds like Sly finalized the script for “Poe”.

See the article here:

I hope, “Poe” will be Sly’s next movie after, “The Expendables”. If Sly does “Poe” next, it has potential to be Oscar worthy. I can see Robert playing Edgar Allen Poe and it could be great acting if he’s casted. It be nice to see Sly back in the Oscars, and “Poe” could be a perfect opportunity for an Oscar nod for Best Director/Best Picture if Sly makes the film right which I’m sure he will.

Report: Randy Couture to have a match against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 102…

So you think UFC legend Randy Couture is retired from fighting after losing his title to Brock Lesnar and back to acting in Hollywood film for Sly Stallone’s next movie, “The Expendables”? Think again. Randy Couture is not yet retired from UFC for good.

It’ll be Randy Couture vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira for UFC 102 on Aug. 29th in Portland, Ore. Both men who have casting roles for Stallone’s, “Expendables”.

In this article, Randy speaks his experience filming in Brazil, he says he was tired and burnt out. He said shooting went great and he had a good time. How do you like that UFC fans? Two actors in the same ring together to fight each other for real and not in a Hollywood movie!

I think I’ll definitely be watching UFC 102 when it comes up.

Report: Stallone ends filming in Brazil…

According to the Expendables blog, they just reported that the cast and crew, packed it up and left on the airplane. They finished with the Brazillian scenes already.

http://ethelmae.wordpress.com/

The blog also said that the cast and crew will take a few weeks hiatus, then they will film some more in New Orleans in the United States so Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren, Charisma Carpenter, etc. can film their scenes.

And after the scenes in New Orleans, they go to Cali to film Arny’s cameo.

I’m sure we’ll get some pics surfacing the net of the cast at the Brazillian airport sooner or later.
