Sheryl Main’s “Expendables” blog is asking fans to ask the “Expendables” cast questions about the upcoming action movie. It must be about either their character or the film itself, any questions not related to the film won’t be accepted.
I asked my questions already. Feel free to ask yours here:

First Kurt Russell turned down a role in Stallone’s film “The Expendables”, then Jean Claude Van Damme turned it down too, who’s next to join the club? That would be the pony tailed karate master, Steven Seagal.
Sly tried asking Steven Seagal to appear in the film, but he turned it down as well. The reason? It has nothing to do with scheduling conflicts or the direction that the script was in, but it has something to do with not getting along with one of, “The Expendables” film crew members. That is Avi Lerner, the founder/owner of Nu Image/Millenium Films.
Avi Lerner and Steven Seagal don’t get along too well. Steven refuses to work on any films that is done by Nu Image/Millenium which is owned by Avi Lerner. Seagal would have loved to be part of the film if Avi Lerner didn’t have anything to do with it.
Although this article confirms that Bruce Willis is Church (no surprise), I will wait for the announcement from Sly himself so I can believe it.

The New Orleans local news did a story on the “Expendables” being filmed in their city. They describe this movie “Rambo X’s 10”. Meaning that the “Expendables” will be more violent than the Rambo movies.
See it here:
Reading the “Expendables” blog, it looks like the violence could be much worse than Rambo. They’re doing all real stunts, and sounds like they are doing real fighting. Real punching and real kicking with real injuries, and everything. Of course, the only thing that’s not real is the gun shooting. They are using real explosions and all that.
I don’t understand why Sly has to release this in the Spring of 2010, when a movie like this will be a perfect, Christmas release.
Sly is almost done with the movie. They’re almost done filming in New Orleans, then they shoot in Los Angeles for the Sly, Arny, and Church scenes last.
After Sly’s finished filming the movie, he’ll have to edit it and put it all together. Keeping the scenes that are right and taking out the scenes that aren’t. Adding sounds effects, musical scores, regular songs by artists/bands for the film soundtrack and whatever last finishing touches they do before release date.
Look like this film is aiming for a 2 hour running length since they aren’t filming for that long. It could be even a little less, maybe an hour and 40 minutes, or worse, a 90 minute film again.
I’m usually never that excited for movies that I’m interested in seeing but like I said before, “The Expendables” is one film that I’m pretty psyched to see. Yeah, I do get a little excited for some movies coming out that I like, but not that excited, but this one I’m very excited and pumped to be seeing.
I’m sure Sly will NOT dissapoint. A film like this is an action movie fan’s dream come true. I’m sure this film will get all action movie fans satisfied, since his last “Rambo” movie got mixed reviews. Sly just wants to make the best action movie possible and he is trying, I think he will do it with this one. This isn’t the biggest movie Sly has ever done, but it certainly is the biggest action movie ever.

More Sly and Dolph pics on set of the “Expendables” in Nola.

Dolph Lundgren is having various interviews on the web to talk about his upcoming movie projects he’s directing and, “The Expendables” that he’s starring in.
I believe that the reason Dolph agreed to star in “The Expendables”, is to get some directing lessons from Sly. Dolph is a film director himself and in these interviews, he talked about how he learned a lot from Sly in film directing, when making action movies. Another reason Dolph agreed to sign on to “Expendables” was ’cause he loved the script.
Dolph talks about how it is so cool to be working with Sly again after all these years of not seeing each other.

“Expendables”, bigger than Rocky and Rambo? Sorry Dolph but I think Rocky and Rambo were Sly’s biggest films ever.
“Expendables” will be a smash hit with all the star power in it, yes, but it’s definitely not in Rocky and Rambo’s league.

That’s what Sheryl Main’s “Expendables” twitter page is hinting us. They wrote that Josh Brolin just finished “Jonah Hex” movie, Sheryl Main is on the cell phone with Josh, and he’s on the same flight she’s in…though the page fails to tell us why they are keeping in touch with him.

Yep, looks like Church will be Josh Brolin. The former Goonies star, the guy that starred in the Coen Bros. “No Country For Old Men” and played George W. Bush in Stone’s, “W.”.
Sly, Arny, and Josh playing in the same scene together? Hmmmm, I like it! 🙂

This is Lauren Jones, a supermodel/actress/WWE Diva who plays Mickey Rourke’s girlfriend in, “The Expendables”. Mickey Rourke is playing a guy named, Tool, in “The Expendables”.
Finally, you get to see pics of Mickey on set for “The Expendables” in NOLA, hanging with Lauren Jones. This is what Mickey’s character looks like in the film.
Yes, she was a WWE Diva briefly between 2004-2005, she only did the Smackdown brand. She left the WWE to pursue other careers.
Yep, Sly is definitely a big fan of the WWE.

Mickey Rourke in his Tool costume, posing for a pic with Lauren…
Don’t get any ideas, Sly is a married man, maybe Sly’s wife Jennifer Flavin gave him that cut in the eye after learning Sly hangs with Lauren too much.

Another possible candidate for the un-announced Church role in “Expendables”, could be Hulk Hogan. The Hulk hasn’t had a movie role in a long time. Sly and Hulk could reunite again. Sly and Hulk has been buddies for years, Sly was the one who inducted Hulk into the WWE Hall of Fame, so who knows that Sly could get Hulkamania as Church as well.
Sly, Arnold, and the Hulkster all in the same scene together? WOW!

Here is Sly Stallone walking down the street of New Orleans. Walking down the street, shirtless with an “Expendables” black jacket over his shoulders, he’s looking all sweaty as hell too, so it looks like he’s just got done with a tough day of filming.
Check it out, HOLY SHIT!!!

To those out there that think Stallone’s next movie, “The Expendables” will bomb and fail in the box office, if you use a little common sense, it’s not. I honestly do think “Expendables” will be the “Dark Knight” of 2010. There is already quite a lot of controversial material in the film.
Lets face it:
I can think of plenty more reasons the film will be a major success. The Expendables won’t top “Titanic” in world box office but will do just as good as “The Dark Knight”.
The Expendables will be right up there along with “The Dark Knight”, “Pulp Fiction” and “Fight Club”.
It’s Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” that I think is going to fail in the box office. It’s a good thing Sly didn’t join Tarantino’s WWII flick that he was long rumoured for.
So those who think “The Expendables” is going to bomb, maybe entitled to your own opinion, but I think you’re delusional if you think that. There is no way this film will bomb.
