'Expendables' promo art, pics, set video… and Bruce Willis?
Lots of new material has surfaced in kungfucinema.com to tease us with Sylvester Stallone's all-star action epic THE EXPENDABLES. Set pics, videos and Cannes promo art. Much of it is coming from an active production blog while the Cannes material, which mostly features teaser art, is popping up all over.
Before I step aside to let the goodies speak for themselves it's worth noting that there is currently a solid, yet unconfirmed rumor floating around that Bruce Willis is signing on to play "Church," the man who hires the merc team. This is turning out to be a killer action movie folks with Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny Trejo, Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts, Terry Crews, Gary Daniels, Steve Austin, Randy Couture, and Sly himself all in this picture. Sly gets my eternal gratitude just for attempting to make this film.
The likely reason that we have yet to see Li in anything but the accompanying promo art is that he has been in China with his One Foundation to observe the terrible earthquake that took place there this time last year and rally additional support for the survivors. Good for Li. I'm sure we'll see him in action again soon enough.
