UPDATE!: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Trejo join Stallones Expendables!
Here's an update from AICN. Apparently everyone has jumped the gun about the details:
Hey folks, Harry here... It seems there's a possibility that my source was a bit too exuberant about the certainty of Arnold Schwarzeneggar signing aboard. The whole thing is very dependent upon what happens with Arnold's primary gig as the Governor of California. As most of you know, California has been hit brutally by the financial nightmare that has descended upon the world. If you read DRUDGE or any of the papers in California, you can see a stern faced Arnold working with the California legislature to find a way to fix some of the insanity that's happening in that state. That's the primary job that Arnold is working on over the rest of his term as Governor. If there's some daylight in there somewhere, he might possibly find the time to do his friend, Stallone, a favor by being in THE EXPENDABLES. My source also tells me that if this miracle does come to pass, you'll find Arnie not as the Governor, but as something a bit more gritty, scarred and brutalized.
So... where are things? Well, let's just say - if a fucking miracle happens and California's economy turns around... we might have a miracle pairing on screen. However, if the nightmare in front of California stays murky... We may just have to wait for a brighter day. Let's all keep our fingers crossed for Sly & the state of California.
My original post:
Sylvester Stallone is continuing to cast for his new film The Expendables.
The big news of the week is that Stallone has casted his friend and 80s rival, Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Expendables to play... California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"...Arnold Schwarzenegger is going to be playing Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Expendables," says Ain't It Cool News. "He will be shooting for one day, and it seems that the Gov and Sly's character Barney Ross have some history back when the Gov was shooting Conan The Barbarian!"
In a way, this is too awesome to be true. As thrilled as I am that Schwarzenegger is in this movie, part of me is disappointed he won't be playing one of Stallones soldiers, but on the other hand, finally both actors are in the same film together. Whatever happens, it'll probably be kick ass.
AICN also says that Ben Kingsley will not be in this film unfortunately, but Eric Roberts will be, as well as Mickey Rourke who's officially signed on.
In other Expendable news, on the Latino end of it, Latino Review reports that Danny Trejo has also joined this ever growing cast of awesome.
"According to my trusted source, tough guy actor Danny Trejo, aka Machete has joined the cast of Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables!"
I can't wait to see this movie! This is going to be totally amazing.
