The Expendables 2 EDIT - Official teaser on Page 2!
Sheldon Lettich - the writer of both Bloodsport and Rambo III and a long time associate of Van Damme, has told JCVD fan site VanDammeFan.net that the Belgian star has accepted a role in The Expendables 2 and that he will be playing one of the principal villains. Lettich (who was also writer-director behind Double Impact and Lionheart) was actually advised by Van Damme himself that he would be playing a villain, presumably against Bruce Willis, who has long been set to play the main villain in the movie. As that hasn't yet confirmed so who knows we may going to see Van Damme squaring off head to head with Sylvester Stallone for the first time in their careers. As always with these things this should be considered a rumor until it is officially confirmed by the production company but there is no doubt at all that the information actually came from Lettich and that Lettich is in a position to know, so it's about as reliable as these things can be. For the past few moths, Sylvester Stallone has gone back and forth on whether or not he will return to direct The Expendables 2. Even it was heard that he was looking for a director to take over the project so he could focus more on the acting part of the job. Of course, that could change again anytime in the near future. Stallone is set to star along with Thomas Jane in the Walter Hill-directed Headshot before embarking on The Expendables 2. Sources: movieweb.com, twitchfilm.com |
The Expendables 2 is set to start shooting in Bulgaria in September, and though Con Air director Simon West is set to take over the helming duties from Sylvester Stallone (who will return to star), we're not sure what other giant action names will be added to the cast this time around.
If you believe the CEO of NU Boyana studios David Varod, though, he's got all the juicy details as the production prepares to take over his facilities in Sofia, Bulgaria. And just like with the first film, there's a laundry list of huge names apparently ready to rip some throats and take the bullets in the name of middle-aged badassery. Here's what Varod told Novinite, the "Sofia News Agency," about the plans for the new movie: Quote:
Van Damme was rumored back in January to be joining the squad after turning down a role in the first film, and Norris is an obvious choice to stand in this lineup of beefy 80s action stars looking for one last bit of action. The real surprise here is Travolta, no stranger to action movies exactly, but not an icon of the genre like the rest of these guys, and given his upcoming role as John Gotti in Gotti: In The Shadow Of My Father, he seems to be trying to re-up his credentials as a dramatic talent. Then again, he starred for West in the director's second movie, The General's Daughter, so maybe he's just doing a favor for an old friend while also getting the chance to watch Chuck Norris karate-kick up close and personal. Now that Varod has spilled the beans, we may be able to get confirmation from Norris and Travolta that they are, in fact, getting on board this shoot 'em up sequel. |
Not sure about Travolta but we will see.
Others notables are: Steven Seagal Bill Duke Sonny Landham The whole cast from the awesome Spartacus-Blood and Sand. |
The casting continues on “The Expendables 2,” the sequel to last year’s surprising smash hit movie (hauling over $270 million worldwide), and it’s bringing together a batch old fogies such as Sylvester Stallone, Randy Couture, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jean-Claude Van Damme, with more names getting their schedules worked out and Liam Hemsworth recently added to try and provide some younger eye candy.
Well, one more rumored name has now been confirmed, and at the age of 35, he’ll be on the younger end of the ass-kicking spectrum. If you don’t know who the hell Scott Adkins is, that’s probably because you have better things to do than watch the fight flick trilogy “Undisputed.” But the man certainly knows his way around a fight sequence, and in “The Expendables 2” Moviehole reports he’ll be reteaming with his direct-to-DVD “Assassination Games” co-star Van Damme, playing his henchman in the movie. Adkins had been listed on the cast sheet earlier this month. While a lot of those names didn’t appear to be quite locked in, Adkins’ now is. So there you have it. Still more casting to come we’re sure. Simon West will sit in the director’s chair and the movie hits on August 17, 2012. |

Arnold Schwarzenegger posted the above on Twitter of him on the set of The Expendables 2 alongside Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis in Bulgaria with a message saying, "Back in action for The Expendables 2! I'm having a fantastic time on set with Bruce and Sly in Bulgaria." Schwarzenegger and Willis are expected to have expanded roles in the sequel as opposed to their short cameo in the first film. The geriatric actioner is being directed by Simon West and will also bring Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme back into the fold. The Expendables 2 hits theaters on August 17, 2012. |
A stuntman was killed and another was seriously injured in an explosion on the Bulgarian set of The Expendables 2 on the afternoon of October 27. The movie's second unit stunt team was filming on a reservoir called Lake Ognyanovo in the southwestern part of the country when the accident occurred, while the movie's main unit was shooting about 2.5 hours away, according to the film's unit publicist. The names of the stuntmen are not yet being released, but Nu Image/Millennium Films issued a statement: "It is with great regret that we confirm this unfortunate accident. Our hearts go out to the families and those on the production affected by this tragedy. The filmmakers are working closely with the authorities in responding to and investigating this accident."
