Trejo and Schwarzenegger join The Expendables

By Rodney - February 18, 2009 - 12:45 America/Montreal

The Expendables is shaping up to be a massive action extravaganza but not without some growing pains. Ben Kingsley will be taking a walk, but Eric Roberts will replace him and Mickey Rourke is in. Add the most intimidating animal on film – Danny Trejo – and you would think it would be perfect. But that isn’t all! As if that wasn’t cool enough Schwarzenegger is on too!

ComingSoon.net offers:

Ain’t It Cool News is reporting that Arnold Schwarzenegger is going to be playing Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables. He will be shooting for one day.

Ben Kingsley is also reportedly out as the dirty bastard CIA sob, Eric Roberts is in, and Mickey Rourke has finally signed on officially. Latino Review says Danny Trejo has a role in the film as well.

This movie is shaping up to be amazing. Just on pure star power alone, these are the action stars and big muscle to bring about what could be the action film of the decade. Maybe that is my drunken testosterone speaking, but just typing all those names in one post is enough to make you want to break something.

And just to season it with a perfect tribute to one of the biggest action stars, Arnold Schwarzenegger will be playing himself as the Governator.

    ARNOLD IS BACK!!!!!!!!!

  5. Craig says:

    Never heard of it but sounds cool. This is like the Wild hogs of washed up action stars. Looking forward to reading more about it.

  6. Gigan300 says:

    Question: why is he taking a day out to shoot when his state is having thousands of lay offs and he should be busy trying to fix it?

  7. EricD says:

    Who thinks adding Eric Roberts is good thing? The guy couldn’t act dead if you cut off his head.

  8. THE FOOL ON THE HILL says:

    Trejo is the best. Now I’ve decided to watch it just because of Trejo.

  9. AndyS says:

    I agree with you Gigan300 but since I don’t live in Cali I’m okay with him leaving the office for a day to shoot some scenes for what looks to be an entertaining flick.

    DBE is Rodney’s movie of the year.

    • Rodney says:

      AndyS, there you go trying to start shit again.

      I never said Dragonball was my “movie of the year” but I likely will go see it. It looks like a fun light action flick.

      Don’t assume. It makes you look stupid.

    • Gigan300 says:

      dont live htere either (close friends there), but i am looking forward to this.

    • bigsampson says:

      i live in cali and i say fuck ya…cali is fucked cause of the rampant abuse from poloticians for decades…..i cant wait for terminator.

    • Gigan300 says:

      hey man im not disrespecting california, hell i love traveling there i just dont do it as much i want to.

  10. AndyS says:

    We’ll both be seeing DBE on opening day Rodney :)

    Danny Trejo!!! OMG! The real question is if he’s going come out with Machete soon?

  12. Stallone better not let us down with this. It’s funny but a while ago, Inglorious Bastards had the same anticipation about it until it got scripted and became a seemingly different film (which isn’t a criticism). I remember the rumour of Stallone, Willis and Schwarzenegger being in that.

    Now this, jesus… the star power in this film is unlike anything I have witnessed in my lifetime. Or rather star power that I idolised in my teens.

    I so cannot wait!!! What is it? Stallone, Lundgren, Rourke, Roberts, Li, Trejo, Schwarzengger (?)

    Am sure there are more but that list alone has bought me a bum on a seat come opening day.

    Stallone shows Tarantino how you make an emsemble cast.
