“The Expendables” begins filming Monday, April 6th…here are pics of Sly arriving in Brazil…

From the Stallonezone board:

When filming begins next week in Brazil, I’ll start posting “Behind the scenes” pics of the stars in action when they start leaking the web!

Mickey Rourke won’t be filming the movie in Brazil, he’s only scripted for scenes in the United States, so you won’t see Mickey in the Brazil pics.

Report: 50 Cent explains why he dropped out of Stallone’s “The Expendables”…

Rapper 50 Cent, explains why he had to pull out of “The Expendables”, after Stallone announced he was replacing Forest Whitaker. The reason? 50 Cent has nothing against Stallone, he has nothing against the script or the movie itself. Sounds like 50 Cent really wanted to do the film but his rap music career pretty much forced him out of it. 50 Cent just completed his new rap album, “Before I Self Destruct” with Dr. Dre and Eminem, he realized that he doesn’t have time to film a movie.

50 Cent will probably do a lot of promoting/marketing and even tour in support of his new album. That is what forced him out of the movie. 50 Cent has been replaced by Terry Crews to play the Hale Caesar role.

Report: 50 Cent pulls out of “The Expendables”, Terry Crews is in!

Rapper 50 sent says “no” to starring in, “The Expendables” with Stallone. Former NFL star, Terry Crews, says “yes” he is in.

AICN reports:

Terry Crews is not a well known actor, but he has starred in many films in the past, doing mostly supporting roles. Not really big roles but small roles. He was in movies such as “Training Day”, “Starsky and Hutch” (remake), “The Longest Yard”, “Get Smart”, “The 6th Day”, and he will have a role in the upcoming, “Terminator: Salvation”. I think Terry Crews is a much better choice!

See a few videos of Terry Crews in various films below. Enjoy.

Report: Stallone confirms no Kurt Russell for, “The Expendables”…

Sly fans wants Kurt and Sly to team up for another movie together, we’re all dying for it, but sadily it isn’t happening at this time. Sly wrote another open letter to the Stallonezone message board, confirming that Sly already tried asking Kurt Russell to join, “The Expendables”, but Kurt turned it down. Not responding to Sly’s letter about it. The reason Kurt turned it down? Sly said Kurt is not interested in returning to acting. Meaning that Kurt is taking a break and a hiatus from Hollywood.

Kurt’s last movie was, Quentin Tarantino’s “Death Proof” which was released way back in 2007. Kurt hasn’t starred in a new movie since then.

This doesn’t mean that this is the end of Kurt and Sly teaming up again in the future though, just not “The Expendables”. Maybe Sly will one day plan a “Tango and Cash II”? That be fuckin’ sweet. I would love a “Tango and Cash” sequel.

Report: Sylvester Stallone reveals casting of characters for “The Expendables”, plus, writes open letter to the Stallonezone message board…

So you make a fansite for one of your heroes, Sylvester Stallone, and you’re living under the delusion that you think the man isn’t reading your site? WRONG!!! Stallone, the man himself, writes an open letter to fans for the “Stallone Zone” message board sayin’ that he does read the posts in the message boards when he has the time.

See it here:

As you can see, Sly admits that he’s a little dissapointed of the negative feedback for having 50 Cent replacing Forest Whitaker. He is asking everyone to be positive about it, because this wasn’t the first time when people were negative over a replacement actor of Sly’s earlier films.

Sly has always been the guy that loves giving unknown actors a chance. When you’re an actor that is not too well known, and if you were on a movie with Sylvester Stallone, you know you’re going to be big and famous. Sly has made all these actors big and famous: Hulk Hogan, Dolph Lundgren, Sandra Bullock, Wesley Snipes, Sharon Stone, etc. The list goes on.

Remember when Sly had actress Julie Benz on the new “Rambo” movie? Nobody knew who she was, and now everyone does. That’s how Sly loves making new actors a star.

Sly sends AICN a list of what character that each actor in the film will be playing, check it out here:

Sigh, I’m a little jealous that Sly is writing to all these websites, but he doesn’t write to me! I’m hoping one day he does!

Sly’s right though, 50 Cent might be a great choice after all, we can’t negatively judge the movie when Sly hasn’t even started filming it. We just have to wait to see the actual film first, and then make our opinions.
