Sylvester Stallone Says EXPENDABLES 3 Can Top THE RAID
Sylvester Stallone took to his Twitter account recently and offered a bunch of updates on The Expendables 3. He confirms some casting and reveals where they are looking for inspiration. I think you're going to like what he has to say.
Here are the tweets he sent out:
Scouting eastern Europe and Asia ...we are going all out on this one ... Could be a big surprise!!
What's the plan? Ask Jackie Chan....
Thinking about Raiding, THE RAID....think about it...
We believe we can do better than the RAID, which was an excellent film... Raising the bar...
Mighty Mickey is back............
Talked to WESLEY today ... He can not WAIT to fight to the top again !!!!!!! Over...
So he's confirmed Jackie Chan, Mickey Rourke, and Wesley Snipes will be in the movie. The most interesting part of this to me though is that he thinks they can do a better action film than The Raid. Really? That would be a huge accomplishment because I consider The Raid one of the great action films ever made. If you've seen The Raid, do you really think Stallone and his team can top it? Regardless, I'm still excited to see a third Expendables!
The movie will be directed by Patrick Hughes (Red Hill). The cast of the previous film also included Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Chuck Norris, Nan Yu, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Liam Hemsworth, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. It has yet to be seen who else will return.
