Actor Forest Whitaker, announced he has pulled out of Stallone’s next movie, “The Expendables”, due to scheduling conflicts. Stallone says he is in negotiations with rapper 50 Cent, to take over the role.
AICN reports:

Disappointing news, I was looking forward to seeing Sly and Forest team up. I don’t agree with 50 Cent being in the movie. My pick would be either Denzel Washington or Jamie Foxx.

Lionsgate just confirmed a release date for Stallone’s next movie, “The Expendables”. The film will be released April 23rd, 2010. Look like this will be a big Spring movie where all the college kids are on Spring break, just around that time.
Maybe the film won’t even be PG-13, it could get a PG rating too. Either way. It’s a fact this movie is aiming for the younger generation. While Sly has done mostly “R-rated” violent films for most of his career, Sly knows he has a lot of young fans. When Sly did a PG or a PG-13 movie it is either a drama or family type of film. I don’t think Sly has ever done a PG-13 action flick. He wants an action flick that kids can actually watch. He wants an action film for the whole family.
Since UFC and WWE has mostly young fans, you know both fighting companies will heavily promote this film since this film has WWE’s Stone Cold and UFC’s Randy Couture in the movie. I think this movie will be an automatic box office smash of the year. “The Expendables” could be the “Dark Knight” of 2009. I really do think this movie will be the most successful film of the year.
“The Expendables” will be a lot of fun. I hope Sly makes it a 2 hour film, not a short 90 minute flick. I also wonder who will score the music for the movie, too? I hope he gets a good composer for the film.

Wow, look at this amazing cast Sly has got so far for the Expendables:
HOLY SHIT! Too much star power all in one movie! I have a feeling that Sly is still not done signing big names and he’s just going to get a few more! Who’s next? Bruce Willis? Kurt Russell? Wouldn’t surprise me if Sly got both of those guys in too.
All those stars above, are all movie stars that kids love to look after. They’re all role models for young adults. So this is definitely going for a PG-13 friendly. So there probably won’t be much blood and not much swearing.
Sly wants the kids to see this one.
I sure can’t wait for filming begins, so I can start posting “Behind the scenes” pics when they start leaking the net! Filming of this movie should begin this Spring in Brazil first.
Whatever rating this movie is, I don’t care. I just want to see an entertaining action film. I think Sly will make this flick entertaining.

AICN reports that Stone Cold Steve Austin will be playing a villain in Stallone’s next film, “The Expendables”. Steve Austin and Stallone will have a major fight scene for it.
AICN also posted an exclusive video of Stallone himself working out hard at the gym, preparing for the film. Not bad for a guy who’s in his sixties. This guy proves that you’re never too old to get into bodybuilding.

Sylvester Stallone has signed two more cast mates for his upcoming new action flick, “The Expendables”. Sly has added “Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s” Charisma Carpenter and WWE famed, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
While Steve Austin still makes occasional appearances on live WWE shows, the Texas Rattlesnake has been concentrating on movies more than the wrestling.
Stone Cold had a role in “The Longest Yard” that starred Adam Sandler, and he starred the leading role in the actioner, “The Condemned”. Steve Austin has just finished filming a movie titled, “Damage”.
Stone Cold and Charisma joins the growing cast of “The Expendables” along with Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Forrest Whittaker, Randy Couture, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.

Oh my! Stone Cold and Sly teaming up together! Yeah! Who knew that Sly is a fan of WWE? I always knew he was. I kind of figured Sly was going to have a WWE wrestler in the film too, didn’t know what one. It ended up being Stone Cold, I guess.
Now that Stone Cold is in this movie, I see WWE promoting this film like crazy!

Here’s a recent picture of Stallone out in public again. You see a bandage wrapped around his hand. What did he do?
He injured his thumb while practising for a fight scene for “The Expendables”. Don’t fret, it won’t delay his filming at all. The injury was not that serious.
Sly will start filming, “The Expendables”, in Brazil soon. Then he, the cast, and crew will come to the states to film the movie in New Orleans. And of course, Sly will film the movie in California so he can film the scenes with the Governator.

Sounds like Sly is preparing himself a brutal fight scene if he injured his hand doing it! Either that or is that a sign that he really is getting a bit too old for this action movie stuff? With Sly having all these big name tough guys in the movie, it may sound dissapointing but it’s looking like Sly might have only one fight scene. I’m sure Sly will want all the other guys a chance to get some action too.
Can’t wait for this flick!!! 🙂

New recent pics of Sly Stallone and Mickey Rourke dining together at a restaurant. Joking around and having fun. Probably discussing the movie that they will be in soon, “The Expendables”.

Sly let his goatee grow out on his face. New look for his role as Barney in, “The Expendables”?

Arnold himself responds to TMZ after they posted the news that “he may or may not” film, “The Expendables” because of his political work. Arnold went on a TV show and says he’s definitely filming the movie for Sly, and action movie fans. Arnold says he’s done a few other cameos for other films while he was still Governor, so he has no problem doing a cameo for “Terminator: Salvation” or “The Expendables”.
See Arnold’s response to TMZ here:

Yep, the Governator appeared in cameos in, “The Rundown” and “Around the World In 80 Days” while being Governor, he still does cameos once in a while because he still knows that he has movie fans that want to see him in film still.
Arnold and Sly playing in a scene together will be golden. Whether’s it’s a small scene or not, it is Hollywood’s dream come true.

TMZ and AICN, both of those websites, has said Arnold may or may not film his scene for “The Expendables”. Honestly, I think both of those websites are just bullshitting. Although, I do know that Sly himself talked to both of those websites to make corrections of the Arnold movie news, it’s just a tease, ’cause you know, Sly likes surprises. Sly likes to shock people with things. Arnold will still do the movie.
Arnold is currently trying to fix the California budget and that’s his only focus. Somehow, I think Sly will drag Arnold out of office secretly for a day and then they will film Arnold’s scene privately.
I don’t think there’s anything to worry about Arnie pulling out of the film because of his political work. Sly and Arnold’s been friends for years. I’m sure Arnold wants to do this for him and action movie fans. He’ll do it, trust me on this.
