EXPENDABLES WE WANT
EXPENDABLES 3 AND BEYOND
The Expendables 2 |
The Expendables 2 has just exploded its way across millions
of theaters Worldwide, sending fans everywhere into an instant state of pure
nostalgic ecstasy! With the likes of Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Bruce Willis, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren and Chuck Norris all
arriving on screen together, fans just can't get enough of these 80's action
legends FINALLY appearing in one film together.
Imagine it in 80's! |
Now obviously Expendables 2 gives one of the most impressive
ensemble cast in recent times, as well as giving fans a opportunity to see
these guys back on the big screen instead of the horrid straight-to-DVD titles
so many of these legends become accustom to, while finally bringing CHUCK
NORRIS back!!
TAKING US BACK IN TIME
That's the beauty, magic, entertainment of Expendables. If
you weren’t raised on these guys’ films, Expendables 1 and 2 might just seem
like poor B-Grade action films, with rugged old man trying to recapture former
glories. However, for all of us that's 80's and Early 90's Babies, the
Expendables is nothing more but a beautiful nostalgic love letter, capturing
the raw action, blood, guts and glory of all those 80's action films we love,
while brining the men back who made those films the classic's that they are
today.
So it's only obvious that these films will have to churned
out every 2 years or so, and bring more and more of those guys back. Giving us,
as well as those actors, one last chance to see them on the big screen in the
type of film that they became famous for, while starring with other action
stars they never got the opportunity to do, and we the audience never got the
opportunity to see.
POSSIBLE EXPENDABLES 3 ADDITIONS
Clint Eastwood, Nicolas Cage, Sly Stallone, Harrison Ford and Wesley Snipes |
So when Avi Lerner, a producer on the Expendables, came out
an announced that Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes, and Nicolas
Cage MIGHT all be joining Expendables 3, it sent the Internet alight!! Not only
had he confirmed Expendables 3 would be happening but he also confirmed to the
world that there ambition is limitless, and they will try and find all the best
people to steer this nostalgic driven trip.
I don't think most people had Clint Eastwood as a possible
character in the Expendables, not because he isn't pure Badassery, but because
the chances on getting The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Eastwood, just seemed
purely like ridiculous fiction (like Twilight). I think that's one name that
brought many to tears, including myself! It must be said however, that Eastwood
isn't officially signed on as yet, and who knows if they will indeed get him,
but this shows that there determination isn't limited that anyone we have in
mind, can actually appear in the film, it's like Fan Fiction, just that we
actually what we want, instead of just dreaming up this *ish!
TWO LEGENDS CIRCLE THE SERIES
Jackie Chan and Steven Seagal |
Steven Seagal turned down the first film, never made it for
the second film, but he was approached for the Third as well! That story came
out a while ago, so we still not sure if that's happening. Maybe third times
the charm?? Or maybe not. Who knows what’s Seagal thinking about all this?
Jackie Chan on the other hand, yep the comedian martial
artist, recently stated that he wasn't able to make the last two films because
of prior commitments, however he feels that Expendables 3 is definitely
possible, as he loves what Stallone is doing with all these action guys and he
wants in! so while Seagal, remains a mystery, Chan is all for it, so we think
it just basically depends on what the producers decide for the film however we
are all for it.
With Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford, Jackie Chan, Wesley
Snipes, Nicolas Cage and Steven Seagal, all potentially having roles in this
film we will dive into some guys that I would love to see in the franchise, and
I'm sure you would to!
OUR CHOICES FOR EXPENDABLES
MR. T
Mr. T |
If u don't who this is, then I Pity you Fool!! Mr. T was
probably one of the biggest sensations to come out of the 80's. With his
stylish Mohawk, his aggressive demeanor, his glorious Bad Attitude and All that
Jewelry, Mr. t was an instant hit when he took on Sylvester Stallone in Rocky
III.
He then went on to star in a show, that the producers
pitched as a TV series that will have Mr. T driving a van with 3 other guys.
That TV series would become the A-Team! Ever since then Mr. T never attained
that kind of success, appearing in a few films, some TV series appearances as
well as some cameo appearances, yet Mr. T
never quite faded away from the memory of millions as his awesomeness
can’t be denied and can never be forgotten.
In Expendables we see him as a retired angry Marine, who
lives life on the sea in solitude with a hatred for flying! In terms of action
scenes, we don't think it would be totally necessary to see him action, just
allow him to be angry and shouting "FOOL". He could also play Hale
Caesar’s (Played by Terry Crews) father.
SAMUEL L. JACKSON
Samuel L. Jackson |
Do I need to say more? With well over 100 films under his
belt, it's hard to think of another actor that has starred in so many films
EVER! We are still trying to figure out how Jackson didn't make it into the
first two Expendables films?? This Bad-Ass Mo-Fo will definitely be a different
ingredient to this testosterone-fueled franchise.
In Expendables we see him as a Government official, who gets
the guys to do a mission based on Church's (played by Bruce Willis)
recommendation. He doesnt need action, but he can run and shoot a bazooka, and
Scream “I'm tired of this Mother-F*cking Snakes on this Mother-f--“…. wait
that's another film!!
MICHAEL BIEHN
Michael Biehn |
Biehn starred in Terminator, Tombstone, Aliens and The Rock just
to name a few films. This man is truly a bad ass, and one solid actor, still
managing to bring good solid performances in his most recent films, he really
is a no brainier for this film.
In Expendables we see him as a loner with a shady past. He
doesn't talk much, his always angry, not a pleasant guy, but he gets the job
done!
TOM BERENGER
Tom Berenger |
The star of films like Platoon, The Substitute and Shoot to
Kill, Tom proved not only is he a worthy action star, but a good actor. He even
managed to get an Oscar nomination for his role in the Platoon. In recent times
he managed to land small roles in Inception and Faster.
In Expendables we see him as corrupt business man.
VINNIE JONES
Vinnie Jones |
Vinnie might not be a 80's action star, but his onscreen
bad-ass persona definitely warrants him a place in this film franchise.
In Expendables we see him as a tongue-less mercenary who
takes pleasure in others pain!
DANNY GLOVER & MEL GIBSON
Mel Gibson and Danny Glover |
This dynamic comedic duo, deserve to be put on the big screen
once again, as a Lethal Weapon 5 film seems unrealistic at this moment in time.
When it comes to action packed, comedy fueled buddy cop
films, Lethal Weapon still remains the golden standard on how to do it right.
With a great script, thanks to Shane Black (now writer and director on Iron
Man3), and the incredibly talented Director Richard Donner the film was sure to
be a hit. However, with Danny Glover and Mel Gibson coming into the mix the
studio, never thought that these two men would form such an amazing chemistry
that would push this series for 3 more Amaze-balls sequels!!
In Expendables 3 we see this duo as 2 disgruntled retired
cops, with a love hate relationship, with Danny playing Roger Riggs and Mel
playing Martin Murtaugh (yes we swapped there characters surnames LW). Together
they opened a gun store, where they have a secret armory, where the Expendables
get all their weapons.
