in EXPENDABLES franchise which has had Sylvester Stallone, Arnold
Schwarzenegger, Jean Claude Van Dame, Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham,
Jackie Chan, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes and others in the
cast, and now producer Avi Lerner is moving on with the same thing but
with female action heroines! Titled EXPENDABELLES, the film would see
female action stars from the previous decades coming back from
retirement for one last mission. According to first rumours, Lerner is
negotiating with Meryl Streep, Milla Jovovich and Cameron Diaz to join
this cast. While EXPENDABLES III should hit cinemas next August,
EXPENDABELLES would start shooting some time early next year in
Bulgaria. Other action ladies who could join the fun might include Linda
Hamilton, Gina Davis, Michelle Yeoh, Sigourney Weaver!

Happy to see Travis Fimmel in something new. I've enjoyed watching him in Vikings. And The Immigrant looks fantastic. Good drama in that one. :))
ReplyDeletethey've released the trailer for the second season some time ago, hope you've seen it, I haven't posted it because I decided not to cover VIKINGS, GAME OF THRONES any more....
DeleteI liked the trailer for THE IMMIGRANTS too, not all of the cast, but the trailer yes :)
The Immigrant looks fantastic. And I'm a big fan of James Gray.
ReplyDeleteWhat did he direct before? I don't remember his name....
DeleteEXPENDABELLES sounds like a decent idea
ReplyDeleteCould be cool if they avoid being trashy
DeleteWonder if all those notches on Milla's belts signify anything special????
ReplyDeletethat she is a slave to fashion? :)
DeleteEXPENDABELLES sounds interesting, but with the exception of Milla Jovovich, I wouldn't really consider them 'classic' action heroines. Now, get Linda Hamilton and Sigourney Weaver involved, and round out the cast with the likes of Angelina Jolie and maybe Pam Grier, and you just might have a workable concept.
ReplyDeleteI cannot stand Milla, either, she is from my country, but she really is a horrid actress.
DeleteMeryl had that WILD RIVER or whatwasitcalled action flick :)
I can't get over the fact they are going to make a Warcraft movie.
ReplyDeleteThe Immigrant looks cool.
you likey or no likey WARCRAFT?

DeleteI don't really know. I haven't played it or really know much of it. Not many movies based on games have been ...awesome.
Delete'tis true, but tones of video games are getting their movie adaptations soon, ASSASSINS CREED included
DeleteWith all of this coming out, when will I sleep?
ReplyDeleteYou can always doze off in the cinema :)
DeleteYou've gotta be kidding! With the price of movie tickets??? HA!
DeleteBut some of the modern ones have such comfy armchairs :)
DeleteWhy so much eyeliner... Mr. Renner? happy to see Marion Cotillard, she is a doll!
ReplyDeleteprobably the nature of his ebil job :) He's a pimp!
DeleteTravis Fimmel should do well in WARCRAFT.
ReplyDeletemethinks so too, Dave
DeleteI've never heard of Travis Fimmel, but now I think I need to start watching Vikings! yum!
ReplyDeleteit's a horrid show, but he is rather handsome :)
DeleteWell, darn! If the show sucks, it doesn't matter how much pretty is in it. I need a good storyline more than eye candy to hold my attention!
Deleteit's violent show which glorifies Vikings who went around Europe butchering people. This is why I stopped watching it - they portray Vikings as brave heroes while they kill, pillage and rape on foreign shores.
DeleteThe Immigrants sounds like something I'd like - and I do like Marion.
ReplyDeletesounds like an interesting film, doesn't it?
DeleteI've gotta love the "Expendabelles" flick for its title alone.
ReplyDelete"The Immigrants" sounds good, if a little heartbreaking, but... guess what? My hubby and I actually went to the movies the other day! First time in fifteen or twenty years, and once we recovered from sticker shock over the ticket prices, we enjoyed ourselves. We saw "Gravity"... in 3-D. I guess we're good now until about 2033 or so...

oh, Suze, such a small step for humanity, but such a big step for you and the hubs :)
DeleteDid you say Anson Mount-I love him! ;D
ReplyDeleteWow, the Immigrants looks really good~ Some great actors in this one :D
it should be a sweeping drama!
DeleteA Warcraft movie??? Interesting. I was hoping, if they were going to do one, that it would be animated. I love their promotional cinematics.
ReplyDeleteah, you're an old experienced gamer, Lyndy, you are ... :)
DeleteMilla Jovovich looks like she needs a jolly good meal.
ReplyDeletethat is what happens when you grow up on borsch :)
