Expendables 3 teaser DAMN THEYRE GOING ALL OUT

[The Devil's Advocate]

This could have been Brittany Murphy's final film. However Sylvester Stallone cut her character from the script before anything was filmed.

Wesley Snipes was offered the role of Hale Caesar but couldn't accept because, due to his tax problems, he wasn't allowed to leave the United States without the court's approval. The role was taken by Forest Whitaker and rewritten for Whitaker, but he was forced to leave the film due to a scheduling conflict. The role was then offered to rapper 50 Cent who turned the role down to focus on his music career. After a few days, Sylvester Stallone decided to cast former NFL player Terry Crews in the part.

Steven Seagal was asked to play a cameo but turned it down due to negative connections with producer Avi Lerner.

Emmanuel. The role was going to be played by Danny Trejo but it was scrapped due to time and budget constraints. Trejo's fee, as well as the costs for some of the stunt work in that scene, would've put them over, so his role was combined with that of Tool (Mickey Rourke) as story purpose and Wickham (Gary Daniels) in terms of finding Sandra's hideaway.

The role of Mr. Church, the man who hires the Expendables, was very difficult to cast. It was initially offered to Arnold Schwarzenegger, who declined in favor of a smaller cameo due to his political career. The role was then offered to Kurt Russell, who declined as he was not interested in "ensemble acting at the moment." Sylvester Stallone spent several months after principal photography determined to find a big action name for the part. The role was finally taken by Stallone's friend and fellow former "Planet Hollywood" co-owner Bruce Willis, who was busy filming Cop Out (2010) at the time.

Donnie Yen was offered a role but he declined.

In September 2011 Sylvester Stallone confirmed that he was in talks with Nicolas Cage and John Travolta about roles in the film and that scheduling would be the only obstacle to their involvement.

Jackie Chan said he had been offered a role, but was forced to turn it down due to scheduling conflicts with Chinese Zodiac (2012). (part 2)

Sylvester Stallone offered a supporting role to Jackie Chan but Chan refused because he want to play a lead role. (part 3)

In addition to his role of main villain, Mel Gibson was offered the chance to direct the film but he declined.

Milla Jovovich turned down the role of Camilla due to her commitments on "Resident Evil 6" and "Cymbeline".

Nicolas Cage was considered for the role of Bonaparte before Kelsey Grammer was cast.

 

[Jazzy B.]

Kelsey Grammar?

That's Frasier da gawd you're talking about.

 

[itsyoung!!]

wait what?

Most of the cast are guys who have been straight to DVD status for a decade plus. If he had assembled this cast in the mid 90's then you could wonder how he could afford it, but now it's not that shocking at all.

Gibson and Snipes in particular probably needed this shyt badly.

Mel Gibson is still worth like $400-500 million bruh

I never understand this forum and finances

A business or actor or entertainer can be making $10+ million for 10-20 years straight, and soon as they fall off for a few years everyone thinks they are broke Like where the fukk you think those hundreds of millions just went irrelevant too ?


Theres people in the booth who would swear Ludacris is broke cause he cant go platinum anymore Like that erases the past 12 years of him going gold and platinum

 

[Data-Hawk]

Are 1 & 2 worth watching?

Yes...Just dont go in expecting a storyline......and you'll be fine.

I'm not saying Mel Gibson is broke, i'm saying he needs it to revitalize his career. Despite the money he has he's having difficulty getting shyt made. He was supposed to have roles in other films in the past only to get fired when people found out about it. Gibson has been damn near blacklisted from the film industry.

 

[Still Benefited]

Quiet as kept Kurt being doing the aging action star thing better than most. I think that's because he's just a better actor than most of them and he never played a character that was an over muscled caricature. He was doing the same everyman hero that Bruce Willis was doing but it never became absurd like the shyt Willis started doing later in his career.

Bruce Willis and Wesley co goat though...I just remember Kurt from the movie with Stallone that I thought was good back in the day...then you got who was one of my favorites,Desperado,Zorro

 

[tr2k]

@ Curtis aint nobody tryna hear your music fam

so they just ended up doing Escape Plan with Fitty instead I guess

 

[Outlaw]

No Jack Bauer smh

 

[CJ]

Damn Sly was trying to get my homebrehs Kurt Russel AND Donnie Yen?

What coulda been

Thank God on no Nick Cage though

There better be a live ticker of bodies in the corner of the screen

Assassins starring banderas and sly which coincidentley was directed by the wachowskis lol

 

[Wild self]

@ Curtis aint nobody tryna hear your music fam

He would have been eating lovely from this franchise.


This film better break all kinds of records in terms of violence. More violence than Rambo 4.

Second one story line was better than the first one.

The 2nd one all in all was doper to me. The first one felt more gimmicky whereas even though the 2nd one added Norris, Arnold, more Willis, JCVD, etc, and had the potential to be more gimmicky...it felt like the story was sharper and they fell into more of a groove. I thought the 2nd was way better actually, and I didn't really dig the first one that much at all in hindsight.

I still want Seagal in one of these, if only for a cameo with some arm and neck snaps.

Yea seems like in the first one they thought everyone was just gonna be hyped by the cast cause the storyline was fukkin dumb. I bet the 3rd one is the best one. What other series were there when the second was better than the original?
