Well…looks like UFC is the first to give out some brief footage from the “Expendables” movie that stars Stallone, and all these tough guy badasses.
Randy Couture has a match against Antonio Noguiera at UFC 102… who are both in Stallone’s movie.
This movie is looking badass and can’t wait! Stallone will show much more of the footage from the film at the Venice Festival.
This looks to be a kick ass action flick and I really want to see it now!

Sylvester Stallone, will be honoured a huge award at the Venice Film Festival in Italy. Sly will not only be receiving his special award, but he will also be showing footage from, “The Expendables” movie and maybe a teaser trailer exclusively at the festival. The Venice Film Festival runs from Sept. 2-12th. Sly will be there at the festival Sept. 12th to receive the award and to show footage of his new film.
More on it here:

When Sept. 12th comes, I’m sure Sly at Venice festival pics will start surfacing the web. When the Venice pics comes, I’ll post ’em here.
I will also post the Expendables teaser footage, ’cause you’ll know that will hit the internet as well.
Congrats Sly!
It is no Oscar award, but the Venice award is much better than that!

WOW! “The Expendables” is looking so amazing, I just can’t wait to see this film. Check out these newest pics that just surfaced the net.
I love the last two with Jet Li pointing the gun out of the car, and Eric Roberts covering the girl’s face with his hand. Movie is looking badass! I wish we don’t have to wait all the way to April of 2010 just to see it.

That’s Sly’s wife Jennifer Flavin. She’s into fitness and working out just like her man, can you tell?
Sly certainly doesn’t want an aging woman when he’s 63 now, can’t blame him.

Many of Arnold and Sly fans are complaining about, Arnold’s cameo role, in “The Expendables” in message forums/blogs. What are these fans complaining about in Arnold’s role? Well, they simply don’t like the fact that Arnold will be playing himself in the “The Expendables”. They claim that his role playing himself in the movie is silly and doesn’t make a bit of sense at all. They want Arnold to play a fictional character, kind of similar to his roles in “Commando”, “Predator” and “True Lies”, and the like.
The thing I disagree with their opinion on Arnold’s cameo role in Expendables is, that this isn’t the first time Arnold has played himself in his earlier movies. Arnold was himself in movies like, “Hercules In New York”, “Pumping Iron”, and “Last Action Hero”.
You think people would be used to Arnold playing himself in movies by now? Apparently not. I guess when it comes to Arnold and Sly finally starring in the same movie together which is long overdue and should have happened a long time ago, fans were expecting Arnold to play a huge role.
Knowing that Arnold and Sly has been best friends for many years, they have supported each other for years. I would think Sly Stallone knows Arnold well enough that Sly would know what Arnold fans would want out of this Arnold cameo in, “Expendables”. Sly fans claim that this Arnold cameo in Sly’s next movie is going to suck, they keep comparing it to Arnie’s cameo, in, ‘Terminator Salvation”.
I mean, give me a break. Arnold’s cameo in “Terminator: Salvation” was computerized CGI, so it wasn’t really him to begin with. The real Arnold would be, in “The Expendables”.
It’s been speculated that Arnold’s scene in “Expendables” will be very short and brief, but I think there’s a possibilty that Bruce Willis will be the role of Church, and that Sly, Bruce, and Arnold will have a pretty lengthy scene together in the film.
I think Sly is not that stupid, he knows what Arnold fans would want and he’ll make the Arnold scene extremely entertaining, I’m sure.
Arnold playing himself in “Expendables” is for a good reason, I think. For starters, since Arnold is governor in real life, he wouldn’t have the time to rehearse his lines if he were to play a fictional character in it. So this is Sly’s way of getting Arnold’s scene to be done quickly.
The reason Bruce Willis isn’t announced for Church yet, because Bruce is still filming Kevin Smith’s film “A Couple of Dicks”, and Sly is waiting for Bruce to finish filming that movie. Then they will film the Sly, Arnold, and Bruce scene for “Expendables”.
No matter what movie Sly Stallone does, people will always have something to complain and whine to him about. I’m more looking forward to Sly and all of these tough guy action stars, in action. I’m excited for this film and can’t wait for it to come out.
It’s pretty silly to me that people complain about Arnie’s cameo role in “Expendables”, when Arnie has starred as himself in a couple of movies before. Arnie playing himself in a movie is nothing new to him. 🙂

Today is Sly Stallone’s 63rd birthday!!! Can the man get any older? He maybe old but he still looks like he’s 30! Happy Birthday Sly!
He must feel real good since he just finished filming, “The Expendables” and now it’s his birthday!
Thanks to Sly for the great, “Expendables” movie that I can’t wait for and really looking forward to it!

Sylvester Stallone, the cast, and the rest of the crew has completed filming of, “The Expendables”….confirmed by Sly’s publicist, Sheryl Main.

Now that the film is completed, expect a teaser trailer and some footage from the actual movie by Sly himself. He did the same when he did the last “Rambo” movie, released a few footage from the new Rambo film until the official teaser came out. He will probably do the same with the “Expendables”.
Now we have to wait for all the way to April 23rd, 2010 for the film’s official release date. Sly explained at IGN that this film is a dark comedy, so it’s a mix of action and comedy.
Could this movie sell bigger in the box office than “Transformers 2” and “The Dark Knight”? I really think, “The Expendables” will make box office history
Congrats to Sly, and I’m really pumped, psyched and very excited for this film. I just wish we didn’t have to wait so long to see it. I’m sure Sly won’t dissapoint us this time, and this will be an action movie that everyone will love. I’m sure.

Pics to prove it that Sly was a huge MJ admirer, and both has been friends for a long time. The death of MJ probably hit Sly hard and I’m sure he’s upset as well. See the pics of Sly with MJ here.

Sylvester Stallone has joined the cast of a family live action film titled, “The Zoo Keeper”. The movie will be about a bunch of animals in a Zoo that tries to help a zookeeper teach him dating and mating to hook up with the woman of his dreams. Stallone will be the voice of a lion. Also joining the cast are Adam Sandler, Cher, Jon Favreau and Judd Apatow.
This isn’t the first time Sly has joined family films, he was also in the animated movie, “Antz” doing voice overs and also played several different characters in “Spy Kids 3D: Game Over” which that film marked his comeback to Hollywood.
I think Sly wants to do more films for his little daughters. That could be the reason for him joining a movie like this.

The Stallonezone.com message boards users are angry that, “The Expendables” could be a PG-13 rating. My question is why? I understand people want to see hardcore violence with blood and gore, they want to hear lots of swearing in the movie, but just because an action movie doesn’t have any of that, doesn’t mean it’s going to be crap.
Over the years of Hollywood films there has been plenty of great action movies that had a PG-13 rating ever since the 80’s.
Here are some other great Pg13 action flicks I can remember at the top of my head:
You see, not all PG-13 rated action movies are bad. In fact, back in the 80’s most action movies in those days were rated PG-13. Sly is trying to make, “The Expendables”, 80’s style, and he is following that root.
Whether “The Expendables” is either PG-13 or R rated, I don’t care, either one will do it for me. I just want to see a badass action flick with all these tough guys.
“The Expendables”, promises to be a really good and fun action movie, no matter the rating. Sly will not dissapoint. So people trying to tell Mr. Stallone to make this R rated is just a big waste of time. Just enjoy and appreciate the hard work that Stallone and the rest of guys put into this movie.
Reading Sheryl Main’s Twitter page, the filming in NOLA is just about over. Then off to Cali to film the Arnold, Sly, and Church scene (who ever Church is, COME ON, Sly announce Church already, everyone is dying to know who it is).
