Where is Brian Bosworth's name? His performance in STONE COLD should be enough to guarantee a role in this film.

Too bad Van Damme turned down a chance to be in this.

I LOVE Charisma Carpenter. Can't wait to finally see her on the big-screen, she's awesome and so talented. Is she taking over the Bullock role?

Forest Whitaker seems a bit out of place so I assume he is not one of the Expendables. Dolph Lundgren? lol awesome, what forest did they dig him out of? This cast is pretty bad ass lets hope the movie doesnt suck.
