Sly, Arnold and Bruce Shoot Expendables Scene

October 27, 2009

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 can’t/don’t want to give too much away I can tell you that Arnold’s 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.

Written and directed by Stallone, the film also stars Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Eric Roberts, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Charisma Carpenter, Giselle Itie, Brittany Murphy, David Zayas and Amin Joseph. The action-adventure follows a team of mercenaries on a mission to overthrow a South American dictator.

Even if the plots pretty lame I'm sure the film is gonna be great with all these stars together in one film. What about the muscles from Brussels?

To answer your question, Van Damm declined a role in the movie. I guess he'd rather film more lame straight to dvd movies than have a role in an epic big screen blockbuster. They also offered Wesley Snipes a role but the judge wouldn't let him work outside the U.S. so he had to decline. Had everything gone according to plan, this would've been one for the history books lol. Still could be tho. Hollywood should learn from this experience and get all the greatest martial arts stars together for a movie. I can see it now...Jet Li, Sammo Hung, Donnie Yen, Jackie Chan, Jacky Wu Jing, Tony Jaa, Steven Segal, Van Damm, Chuck Norris, and Jason Statham all in one big martial arts throw down! EPIC!!!

I didn't know Bruce Willis had a cameo in this! HELL YEAH! As a fan of 80's and early 90's action films, this is like a huge wet dream for me.
