The Expendables $100 Million Club

Okay, so this film does not come out for a year (in fact, it hasn't even started production yet) but I wanted to start a box office club for it. The reason? Check out this cast:

Sylvester Stallone (also writing and directing)
Jason Statham
Jet Li
Mickey Rourke
Forest Whitaker
Dolph Lundgren
Ben Kingsley (rumored)
Sandra Bullock (rumored)

Can you say blockbuster? Who wants to join.

The Ghosts of action movie-stars.. past and present.. If you're an action junky, it's pretty hard to get past all those names.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I don't know if it will make 100 mil, but I do know it will be the best film ever! AICN had a script report on it and it sounded hilarious- in a good, 80's way.

i read sandra bullock declined, if so then I have no interest

I actually think that last comment was a serious one, and that kinda scares me. I mean I could be wrong, as such a ridiculous comment could have been made in sarcasm, which would make a ton more sense, but I'm going to actually believe that it was made in all seriousness. Kills me a little inside.

I heard that Mickey Rourke declined also because of the payroll and Van Damme refused Stallone's offer because he didn't knew which part is his... Sandra's refuse is normal because for the last 10 years she's a romcom type and not anymore Speed, Demolition Man type... I think that first was the idea of Sly to reunite the action stars of '80s and much later a screenplay appeared... I think of max. 200% of Rambo 4 - $85-90 MM. Personally I can't see a 9 digits number... BUT maybe the screenplay will be Tropic Thunder hilarious type and it will be a success. We'll see...

was actually being serious

I could care less about these guys, i havent seen one movie that i like by them

Sylvester Stallone
Jason Statham
Mickey Rourke


I think these guys are great

Jet Li
Forest Whitaker (will see almost anything he is in, but this is one where i'm not interested one bit)
Ben Kingsley
Sandra Bullock (say what you will but I think she is the hottest old-er woman, and will see anything she is in)

and i dont know who this is

Dolph Lundgren

He was Drago in Rocky IV and the bad guy in Universal Soldier. He's usually familiar to audiences for his straight-to-video films but here he's attempting a comeback into theatrical films.

And he was He-Man too.

UDM,

I would highly suggest you see The Bank Job with Jason Statham, and I don't really know what to recommend to you for Mickey Rourke as I don't know what you have seen and what you haven't.

I love Rumble Fish, although I know a lot would disagree with me. Of course there is Sin City, and I also liked Angel Heart and Buffalo 66.

Add Diner, 9 1/2 Weeks, Year Of The Dragon and The Pope Of Greenwich Village to the list of good Mickey Rourke films.

Throw in Barfly, and you've got quite a catalog of good Mickey Rourke movies to watch.

I forgot Barfly. The Bukowski adaptations are usually very good.

Thats on my To See List, which is right below the Really Want To See list which is under the Have To See ASAP list

Sin City was good, but I wouldnt really say its a micky rourke film.

I would totally say the Sin City is a Mickey Rourke film, as far as it's any actors film. Rumblefish was outstanding, Pope of Greenwich Village is really good, and I really like a little-seen nineties gem called Bullet, that Mickey Rourke was in. To be honest, Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man is one of my guilty pleasures.

Bullet was also the last film of Tupac Shakur's to be released. Imagine how great of an actor he could have been had he lived.

I hope this can be something like Ocean's 11, where it's awesome despite Julia Roberts. Only this would be awesome despite Sandra Bullock's suckitude.

blasphemy!!! treason!!! off with his head!!! jk but seriously how can anyone hate sandra bullock?

Two words: Miss Congeniality.

Three Words: Forces of Nature

That one sucked too.

Don't forget Speed 2, but that wasn't really her fault (I blame studio politics and Jason Patric's poor replacement of Keanu).

That was a hilarious movie, but i've heard #2 sucked, have never seen it. i've also never seen Forces of Nature or Speed 2. I do like Speed though

Angel Heart was weird as fuck. I liked it but it was seriously weird. Had to watch it last year in Elements of Film.

Although I haven't seen it, just the premise of "The Lake House" is enough to make me vomit. Maybe it's not even the premise, maybe it's just Sandra Bullock.
