50Cent to Replace Whitaker’s Expendable

Forest Whitaker was the one sprinkling of quality actors in Expendables, but apparently due to a scheduling conflict he was forced to drop out. He may have been literally expendable. So who do they figure is an appropriate substitution? 50Cent

Forest Whitaker has dropped out of Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables due to a scheduling conflict. So who has Sly found to replace him? None other than Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent.

Production on The Expendables has been pushed back a month. Thus Whitaker had to pull out due to scheduling conflicts with prior engagements.

So who in their right mind would think that an appropriate replacement for Whitaker would be a rapper.

I get that they are trying to gather the greatest action stars together for an action romp of epic proportions so they wanted to add some muscle. Literally. I get that. But when they chose to bring Whitaker on board, I am sure it wasn’t for his dazzling abs. So why replace him with a non-actor meat puppet like Curtis Jackson?

I hope this all turns out to be a wild rumour and we can go back to the Expendables stories where nothing but good news spills forth.
