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.

Report: Forest Whitaker pulls out of “The Expendables”, 50 Cent to take over role?

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.

Confirmed: “The Expendables” gets a April 23rd, 2010 release date…

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.

Thought: Yep, Stallone’s “The Expendables” is definitely looking PG-13 family friendly…

Wow, look at this amazing cast Sly has got so far for the Expendables:

  • Mickey Rourke
  • Dolph Lundgren
  • Jet Li
  • Jason Statham
  • Forrest Whittaker
  • Arnold Schwarzenegger
  • Randy Couture
  • Danny Trejo
  • Eric Roberts
  • Charisma Charpenter
  • Stone Cold Steve Austin

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.

Report: Stone Cold to play villain for, “The Expendables”, plus, he will have huge fight scene with Stallone in film…

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.

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!

Report: Stallone injured his hand….but how?

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!!! 🙂
