Schwarzenegger Joins The Expendables The Gov finalises greatest cast ever Source: Ain't It Cool
It is now official. With a cast including Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren, Forest Whitaker and The Stath, Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables was sure to be one of the best action films ever made. But now, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed on to join the testosterone party, which seals the deal - that this will be the biggest and best movie to hit our screens in 2010.
Lest we forget that the ubiquitous mustachioed one, Danny Trejo is also rumoured to have signed on, no doubt as one of the South American drug cartel the band of mercenaries are sent in to quash. But Sir Ben Kingsley has apparently dropped out as their CIA contact - due to a feeling of comparative physical weediness perhaps? - with The Dark Knight's Eric Roberts taking his place.
The shoot will only take Governor Arnie away from his duties for one day, and he will of course be playing himself, so the political world can rest assured that their action hero won't be wandering too far into the undergrowth.
And that means we are now missing just three more names from our action hero tick list of fame. So, Bruce Willis, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal - get hold of Sly's number and join the gang. The Expendables needs you!
Van Damme and Seagal sound like plonkers in real life, so I'm not surprised that they won't be in it. They probably wouldn't make good team players. ... Read More
Van Damme fucked up turning this down - what does he think he's too good for this kind of thing now? What's his whole career been based on?? If we could get Segal and Willis in it that would be perfect as well ... Read More

They should just go all out now. Jessie Ventura, CLINT EASTWOOD, the predator, chuck norris, brian the boz bosworth, ernest borgnine, the shark from jaws, the invisible death that follows kids from the final destination movies, and of course Carl Weathers! ... Read More
As a major Arnie fan this news causes me to embark upon a multitude of romance explosions! This could be great, especially if they handle it like and old school action movie to fit the old school cast.
However, despite being great news, it also stirs up a bit of annoyance. If the governator is so avid about starring in this, why the HELL didn't he do I Am Legend?! That role was pretty much made for him for heavens sake.
The way I see it, this could go one of three ways.
a. It could be ... Read More
