Thought: Steven Seagal for “The Expendables” sequel???

Leave a comment

When the “Expendables” film franchise is being discussed in movie forums and blogs, Steven Seagal’s name is always brought up. A lot of fans of these movies, want Seagal to join the cast.

I might of posted about this before a long time ago but I think I’ll post it again. I agree it would be cool as hell if Seagal would join the Expendables cast, but it’s NEVER going to happen anytime soon. Why?

Because Avi Lerner and Seagal don’t get along. They hate each other, I think. They had a fallen out over some movie deal a few years back. Do your research and google it yourself. Seagal vowed to never work with Lerner again. “The Expendables” franchise is being produced by Millennium studios which is owned/founded by, Lerner. If the “Expendables” was being made through a different movie company, then yes, I’m sure Seagal would be on board then, but as long as Avi Lerner is working with them, no chance.

Sly even tried to get Seagal for the first movie but he failed. Seagal must patch things up and bury the hatchet with Lerner, if they ever want to work together again, but I don’t see it happening anytime soon. Their feud is pretty heated and not very nice.

It is interesting how Seagal’s name keeps coming up when it comes to, “The Expendables”. I’m sure he respects Sly as an actor, Seagal has no bad blood against Sly at all, it’s Avi Lerner he doesn’t like. I’m sure Seagal wants to be a part of these movies, but he can’t.

I like Steven Seagal movies, the earlier ones. He was a good action hero back in the day.

BREAKING NEWS: Sly Stallone, the man himself, finally confirms JCVD and Chuck Norris are in, “The Expendables”, sequel!!!!

Leave a comment

For a long while now, it’s been long rumored that Jean Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris could possibly star, in “The Expendables” sequel. Well, Sly Stallone the man himself, confirms to “Entertainment Weekly”, that the two action stars are indeed in the film.

Chuck Norris, has been on a Hollywood hiatus lately, as he hasn’t done anything since his direct to video movie, “The Cutter“, in 2005.

Sly reveals that he’s in a major fight scene with Jean Claude in, “The Expendables”, so this means, Jean Claude is a bad guy? That’s what it’s sounding like!!!

Sly also adds that Nicolas Cage, and John Travolta also has roles, possibly.

Read the full story, here.

Nice! Hope this movie will be much better than the first one. What UFC and WWE stars will they get for this movie? It wouldn’t surprise me if they go after Dwayne Johnson or Triple H. I would rather see Triple H in this movie, than Dwayne though. I can definitely see Triple H in the Expendables group.

Report: Bruce Willis and Arnold confirmed to play longer roles for “The Expendables” sequel…

Leave a comment

Bruce Willis is set to return as, Mr. Church, and, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is set to return as Trench for, “The Expendables”, sequel. They will be playing longer roles this time around, now that Arnold’s governor days are over with.

Deadline, reports.

My question is, which one of these guys will get into a major fight scene with Sly in the next film? I’m hoping Arnold. I’m hoping Arnold will be villain for the next one.

JCVD and Chuck Norris have been rumored for this movie for a long while, lets hope they confirm soon. It’s most likely they are part of this film too. We’ll have to wait and see.

Report: John Travolta, Jean Claude Van Damme, and Chuck Norris rumored castings for “The Expendables” sequel…

Leave a comment

The filming for the next “Expendables’ movie will start filming this Sept. Yes, the original cast you see in the picture above is expected to reprise their roles (except for Steve Austin who was killed in the first one). Arnold and Bruce are expected to return but everyone is expecting Bruce and Arnold to have longer roles, not just cameos.

Of course, the film will add some more big name tough guys and there was a few more names brought up who are rumored to be part of the sequel. Those actors are: John Travolta, Jean Claude Van Damme, and Chuck Norris. These are just rumors so don’t believe them as of yet.

Read the full story, here.

Van Damme is definitely a possibility, so I can see Van Damme in the film. John Travolta is a possibility too ’cause Sly and Travolta have been friends for years (they already worked together in “Staying Alive”, Sly directed that movie, John starred in it). I’m not so sure about Chuck Norris.

I hope the Chuck Norris rumor is true ’cause he hasn’t done any acting in years, I hope he makes a huge comeback. If Chuck is in the movie, I can see him being one of the villains, not the Expendables team. It would be great to see Chuck back in Hollywood, I enjoyed his action movies in the 80’s. Especially films like “Firewalker”, “The Octagon”, “Forced Vengeance”, “The Missing In Action” trilogy, etc. Loved all of his flicks in the 80’s.

Happy Birthday, Sly!!!

Leave a comment

Sylvester Stallone just turned 65 years old today! Happy Birthday to my favorite action star and inspiration. He was the one that inspired me to get into bodybuilding & fitness. Without him, I wouldn’t be doing it.

Love him or hate him, Sly worked so hard to get where he is today. Sly is currently filming the action movie, “Bullet To the Head” directed by Walter Hill.

The video below is a look back at Sly’s career.

BREAKING NEWS: Simon West is replacement for “The Expendables 2” director!!!!

Leave a comment

Several months ago, Sly announced the shocking news that he will not be directing “The Expendables” sequel. He wanted to give a different director an opportunity to make it a better film. A search for a replacement has been a long one, but Millennium Films have finally found their guy!

Millennium announced, Simon West, (director of such movies as “The Mechanic” remake, “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, “Con Air”, etc.) will take over Sly Stallone’s job as director.

Yes, Sly himself is returning to star the leading role as Barney Ross, of course. Deadline also confirmed the cast from the first movie is also returning. Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, and Jet Li are all set to return. I’m pretty sure Arnold and Bruce will return too. Hopefully a LONGER role for Arnold too, not just a cameo.

Deadline, reports.

Simon’s a good film maker. I liked, “Con Air” and “Tomb Raider”. I haven’t seen, “The Mechanic”, remake yet, but I will rent it from Netflix soon.

I’m pretty sure Sly and the gang will add more iconic tough guys to the cast. Hopefully they get Jean Claude Van Damme and Kurt Russell. Dwayne Johnson too. They would probably get more UFC stars as well.

I loved the first “Expendables” movie but it had some problems. Hopefully the next one will have more of Jet Li fighting, ’cause Jet Li only had like one or two action scenes in the first one.

Report: “Rocky – The Musical” finally moves forward…

Leave a comment

“Rocky – The Musical” has been in the talks for years, and it’s finally happening with newly hired writers. Songwriters, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty have been hired to write, “Rocky – The Musical” along with novelist, Thomas Meehan. Just last April, the creators and producers held a private reading of the musical with the Rocky creator himself, Sylvester Stallone. While Sly himself will not star in the musical, he will still be a part of it by being an artistic partner and producer. Sly still owns the rights to the Rocky franchise.

Rocky the Musical will hit  the theatre stage in Germany in 2012 and will arrive in Broadway in New York sometime in 2013.

More on the story, here.

I wish them the best of luck. It’s going to be hard to find an actor that can match Sly’s look and it’s going to be very challenging to imitate Sly’s speaking voice in the first, “Rocky”. Everyone tries to imitate Rocky’s speaking voice, but yeah, it’s very hard to do. In my opinion, Sly can’t be copied. I’m interested on who they’re going to hire to play Rocky Balboa for the musical. They’re obviously gonna go for a young actor.

I just wonder if they’re gonna have Frank Stallone cameo the musical. When they start singing, “Take You Back” (which is a song that Frank wrote for the movie), that’s when Frank would come out singing the song with the cast on stage. That would get the audience going.

Sly’s been talking about “Rocky – The Musical” for a long time and he’s actually making it happen.

Remember, the Rocky and Little Marie scene? This is going to be a hard scene to pull off for the play, again Sly’s speaking voice. I’ll be amazed if they can actually pull this musical off.

Thought: I really think Sly Stallone should star in Kathryn Bigelow’s “Osama Bin Laden” movie…

Leave a comment

I doubt Sly would get the opportunity but I think it’s a nice thought. I think Sly would make a pretty good Seal Team 6 leader. That’s my choice of who I’d like to star in that Bin Laden movie. Outside of Rambo, I don’t think Sly has ever starred in other war films before. It’s been long rumored that the next Rambo movie could have been Rambo hunting down Bin Laden but it never happened. Sly shot that plot down long while back, now Rambo is never gonna happen because Sly retired the character. It’s still possible that Sly could star in a Bin Laden movie, just not as Rambo.

I’ve always wanted to see Sly in a serious war film and this would be perfect for him. So if Kathryn is reading this somehow, just my suggestion that Sly should star. I’m sure Kathryn’s Bin Laden movie is going to be extremely violent and gory, hopefully. This would be good for Sly.

Sony will probably have a big name star play the leading role for Seal Team 6, when they start casting. Arnold would be good for this movie too but he’s in trouble with his personal life so he won’t come back to movies anytime soon now.

Sly’s last movie “The Expendables” is kind of a war film actually.

Report: New poster and plot synopsis revealed for “The Expendables” sequel…

Leave a comment

Nu Image Millennium released the new poster and plot synopsis for “The Expendables” sequel yesterday.

Check them out, here.

So look like Mickey Rourke is only going to get a small role in the beginning of the next film and then he’s killed off. They will also get a big name actress to play his daughter, Fiona.

I’m sure a few of the cast members from the first movie will return for the sequel. I know Dolph Lundgren and Jason Statham will definitely return. Arnold and Bruce Willis will come back too. I don’t know about Randy Couture, Jet Li or Terry Crews though.

I’m sure Sly will add more big name tough guys to the Expendables group. Hopefully Jean Claude Van Damme and Kurt Russell will be in.

Stone Cold can’t come back ’cause his character was killed in the last one, but I’m sure Sly will find another former WWE wrestler to join the cast. Dwayne Johnson maybe? I’m glad Millennium is moving forward with the movie pretty quickly. We’ll know who the new director is soon, and then they’ll start casting.

I really liked the first “Expendables” movie but it could be a better movie, it needed improvements. I hope the next film will be better than the first.

BREAKING NEWS: Stallone confirms he won’t be directing “The Expendables” sequel!!!

Leave a comment

There were a lot of rumors and speculation that Sly Stallone will go back to directing “The Expendables” sequel. Well the man himself, confirms he won’t be helming the flick. However, he will still reprise his leading role as Barney Ross for the sequel.

The plan for the next film is that they want Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger to play leading roles for the next one.

It is not known whether or not some of the other cast members will return, but Dolph Lundgren and Jason Statham still want to return to the film. Plus, I’m sure the next movie, will add a bunch more action movie stars.

Deadline, reports.

I still say that Sly’s director replacement should be Dolph Lundgren. I still stand by it.
