Sly, Arnie, Willis to Unite Onscreen

The Expendables also stars Rourke, Li

Share

(Newser) – Musclemen Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Bruce Willis are uniting for one last action flick, the Guardian reports. The Expendables, slated for release next year, tells the story of a band of mercenaries in Latin America, and will show the three grizzled stars together for the first time since the launch of their unsuccessful Planet Hollywood restaurants.

"I wanted to do a film that was more about men,” Stallone says. The film also stars manly-men Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, and ultimate fighter Randy Couture. Schwarzenegger has already given away his cameo: "I walk out of a hotel or out of a office building," where Stallone "will walk up and we will bump into each other and there will be some mumbling and then we will walk off."

Are you kidding me? Did you see The Wrestler, Sin City, or Once Upon A Time In Mexico? Mickey Rourke can hold his own in the acting category. Bruce Willis was amazing in The Fifth Element and a great actor but Mickey Rourke is definitely not to be classified with actor-savants like Sly and Arnold. Reply
