On Saturday, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis shot a scene together for The Expendables, which Lionsgate has scheduled for an August 20, 2010 release. Ethelmae’s Blog has posted a description of how it all went down. Here’s a clip:
After Arnold, Bruce and Sly went through the scene a couple of times they all 3 headed off to wardrobe and make-up. at 8:10am with three cameras rolling the biggest action icons of our time went to work. I thought it was electric in Brazil when all of The Expendables stepped on set but today was atomic!!!! the whole crew was mesmerized as we watched the three of them play off of each other in a pivotal scene that sets up the whole movie. And while I cant/dont want to give too much away I can tell you that Arnolds character is Trench and Bruce is Church, the scene was shot in an empty church without extras and minimal set dec and it has tension and humor what more can a girl ask for! Sly was in top form as a director today and was in total command. Bruce and Arnold were consummate professionals at all times we got through the scene quickly without compromise. In 6 hours we did wide shots, close-ups, turned around the whole nine yards pretty impressive. Very Clint Eastwood.
