A Cinematic Treat For The Action Movie Buff.
When you first heard that Stallone was writing a movie that would star many of his action film buddies, you probably did not have very high expectations for it. Surprisingly, The Expendables was a big hit. It made a lot of money and to no one’s surprise, Hollywood quickly decided to make a sequel.
As of right now, the sequel is planned to come in 2012 and star most of the original cast. Action film fans are not too concerned with who is returning but who might get added to the cast. Keeping with the original format, Stallone plans on inviting as many action stars as he can get.
A few names that have been coming up lately in regards to the sequel are: Jean-Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, Hulk Hogan, Mr. T and Charlie Sheen. There are hopes that Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger will have bigger roles in the sequel, as they each had a small cameo in the first. But nothing is certain yet. The movie’s cast is still evolving and the only thing you can count on is that there will be more over the hill action stars added before filming starts.
Stallone surprised everyone with the first film. No one thought the movie would be successful but it was. The Expendables turned out to be a great movie for guys and was fun to watch. Stallone has given up directing duties for the sequel but you should still expect a lot of explosions and plenty of flexing muscles in the movie. The information doesn’t stop now.
