Mr. Stallone called Harry this morning to reveal more details about his mercenaries-vs-dictator action extravaganza THE EXPENDABLES.

He told Harry that UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture (website HERE) has been added to the movie's cast, joining the already announced Jason Statham, Jet Li, and Dolph Lundgren. Sly's hoping he'll be able to give Couture an excellent boost towards big screen action stardom.

Forrest Whittaker has also been cast in the film, which rolls this March in Brazil.

Oh, and look for Jet Li to fight Dolph Lundgren in THE EXPENDABLES. If that's not a plunge into Geeky bad-assity, I don't know what is.

I loved the most recent RAMBO - can't wait to see how EXPENDABLES shakes out.

All this movie needs is Clint Eastwood, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger to be the greatest film ever.

I thought Jet Li swore off motion cinema. This is good news.

Epic. I'll watch Statham in almost anything, but I draw the line at Uwe Boll. Hell, I'll even watch Death Race if it ever comes out over here.

By the cast alone, this movie is going to be fucking incredible. I don't care what I'm doing the day it comes out, I'll be in the theatre.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #20 on:** February 17, 2009, 11:30:31 PM »

Arnold won't be doing anything of importance, though. :'(

Stop being the fucking governor and start filming action movies.

Not really looking forward to this. I'm a big Jet Li fan but the majority of his American films have been crap. Since Li came to Hollywood, he's been stuck with poorly written roles and outdated choreography .

to be fair, most of the English language films he's made had Corey Yuen/Yuen Woo-Ping choreography, and of those he's got a sketchy record. Its actually been a sorta fascinating case study in how likely a Hollywood production is to fuck up something that should be idiot-proof. His American flicks suck, his French-International films rock, so there's your equation.

Really? I thought it was universally hated, like Universal Soldier.

Death Race is pretty cool.

WWE alum "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Charisma Carpenter have been added to the cast of "The Expendables," starring, written and directed by Sylvester Stallone. Cast includes Mickey Rourke and Jason Statham.

A Pic of Charisma

There better be a Stone Cold Stunner in this movie.

She is very tasty. There were some pool shots of her in Veronica Mars -- HDTV screengrabs, among my treasured horde.

Haha, that looks awesome. The trailer is constructed like a '90s action trailer.

Who is the black guy? It looks like Terry Tate.

Angel from Dexter is the bad guy?!

I didn't see any Mickey Rourke.

and I feel like a major dum-dum for even being a little bit surprised that the Eric Roberts character turns out to be evil. I mean, shit, who could have seen that coming?

I wonder if they can top Van Damme and Lundgren in Universal Soldier. That's the only time I watched an action film in a cinema and laughed most of the way through.
