Expendables, Too?

Posted on by

I think that this may be my favorite poster for The Expendables. If you like it, you might want to check out the King-of-the-Box-Office size version over at IMPAwards.

Because The Expendables is doing so well at the box office and continues to track above expectations, talk of a sequel is a quickly moving forward. So it got me thinking…

“Who would I want to see in The Expendables 2?”

Without a doubt I’d like to see roles [even cameos] for…

  • Ron Perlman – He may have been born to play Hellboy, but he’s been groomed to be an Expendable
  • Danny “Machette” Trejo – he could be great playing either an Expendable or foe
  • Chuck Norris – most likely in a cameo a la Arnold’s
  • David Morse – an under-rated actor who never disappoints
  • Ray Stevenson – yep, the mug from Punisher: War Zone

Those are my top choices… others I considered included: Kurt Russell, William Smith, Clancy Brown, William Forsythe…

Big Monster News

Harry Knowles at AICN recently announced that AICN is going to present and run the Famous Monsters of Filmland.com website.  This is especially exciting news because Harry has a passion for horror films.  He also has a huge fan base that he can attract to the site.

I love horror/monster movies and when I was a kid Famous Monsters of Filmland was always a fun read.  But up until Harry’s announcement, I wasn’t even aware that there was a Famous Monsters website.

In other monster news, /Film posted a report that Tim Burton is developing a 3D film called Monsterpocalypse.  Tim Burton and the title alone make it worth a look.

Bruce Willis is Red

It’s hard to believe that I’ve been yapping about Red, the Warren Ellis / Cully Hamner mini-series, for over six years.  Perhaps it’s even harder to believe that it’s been turned into a movie starring Bruce WIllis and Morgan Freeman that will premiere on October 16th.  Perhaps by then you’ll have seen The Expendables enough times to give Red a try.
