The Expendables II

Then Richard Norton and Cynthia Rothrock! Anthony DeLongis would be cool as a co-villain, kinda like Steve Austin was. And Benny Urquidez, which would mean a fight between Jet Li and "The Jet."

Jet vs The Jet. BRILLIANT!!!

I wonder what Bolo is doing these days. The only movie he's been in in the last 14 years is Blihzney Boy. And apparently no one is allowed to see that movie. There's a video on youtube where he is 64 years old and his Tai Chi is on a very very high level. Van Damme should give him a role. He wouldn't be the semi-star he is today without Bolo.

i saw him in some cheesy movie awhile ago... cant remember the name... it wasnt english or chinese tho... french or italian or something... he was the old master with the pebble in his hand... very lame, very cliche... too bad... i like him in that chen zen movie, where he's hunched over like an ape when he fights... then they hang him... whats that called again??? uugghh, i just cant remember...

The expendables was a bomb here in Korea. I bet they didn't say that in the news.

On opening week the theatre was so empty they didn't even charge for tickets.



On another note I have a personal disgust for the role jet li played..ie a "small weak asian guy" .

This changes everything for me on the sequel

Donnie Yen Joining The Cast Of THE EXPENDABLES 2?
by Hugo Ozman, August 21, 2011 5:34 AM

According to Hong Kong newspapers, while Donnie Yen and his family were on holidays in the US recently, he was invited to dinner by producer Avi Lerner. Reportedly, Lerner has offered Yen a 'tailor-made' role in the upcoming sequel to THE EXPENDABLES, which is due to commence shooting in October.

A spokesperson from Yen's company confirmed that there was in fact an offer, and went on to say that Yen may be interested in THE EXPENDABLES, but because he currently has a number of projects to choose from, he will not decide until he sees if the script appeals to him or not.

Back in the early 2000s, Donnie Yen was already working in Hollywood, appearing in films such as Shanghai Knight and Blade II (for which he also acted as fight choreographer). Of course, he is a much bigger star now following the recent success of Ip Man 1 & 2 and BODYGUARDS AND ASSASSINS.

Umm, I mean Donnie, of course. Not Taylor.

Taylor Lautner rumored for “The Expendables 2”
Published August 31, 2011 at 12:09am Updated August 31, 2011 at 12:09am

It appears a sequel to 2010’s Sylvester Stallone-directed “The Expendables” is a go, though so far the only official information we have about the film is that most of the cast (minus Jet Li) will be reprising its role from the original, Simon West (Con Air, Tomb Raider) is slated to direct, and the screenplay was co-written by the guy who penned Muppets from Space (not kidding, look it up!).

But this week, the New York Post (and everyone else, for that matter) is reporting that the producers have compiled a “wish-list” of names to pursue for the sequel, ranging from obvious choices like Jean-Claude Van Damme, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nic Cage, and Chuck Norris, to less obvious ones, like Taylor Lautner.

The good news is that, for now, the rumor is just that. While no official offer has been extended to Lautner as of yet, it’s projected that Lionsgate may be looking to capitalize on the young actor’s foray into action with September’s “Abduction,” which is all but guaranteed to decisively suck.

“Expendables 2” starts shooting later this year. The official synopsis (via financier Nu Image) is as follows:

“The Expendables are back and this time it’s personal! After Tool (Mickey Rourke), the heart and soul of the Expendables, is brutally murdered on a mission, his comrades swear to avenge him. They’re not the only ones who want blood. Tool’s beautiful young and wild daughter Fiona embarks on her own revenge mission, complicating matters when she is captured and ransomed by a ruthless dictator plotting to destroy a resistance movement. Now, Barney and the Expendables must risk everything to save her and humanity.”

So what role do you see Lautner playing in this? A new member of the Expendables? The “ruthless” dictator? Mickey Rourke’s daughter? Guess we’ll find out in a year; “Expendables 2” hits theaters August 2012.

First Look: Chuck Norris on The Expendables 2 Set
Today we have the first photo of Chuck Norris on the Bulgarian set of "The Expendables 2," standing alongside Dolph Lundgren and Terry Crews, who are both returning for the sequel. Check out the photo below.



In related news, Antonio Banderas revealed that his "Assassins" co-star Sylvester Stallone asked him to be in "The Expendables 2," but Banderas turned down the offer due to a scheduling conflict. "They asked me to do it, I don't think at this point I will have the time. I am very disappointed that it didn't work out," said the actor, adding that he would consider 'Expendables 3." "But you never know I will have to talk to Sly."

The sequel is being directed by Simon West (Con-Air) and co-stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, and Jean-Claude Van Damme. It is set to hit theaters on August 17th, 2012.

Chuck vs. Jet?
