wow. hope there is some sort os sea shell reference if Sandra Bullock is in it. He should make this Rambo 5.

 

[evil bandit]

Hopefully they reprise their roles from various other films so you could have

Marv, Chev Chelios, Rambo, Ivan Drago, the dog from Unleashed, Idi Amin and Ghandi....

No Van Damme though, he's all about the character's motivations these days and not the cash money.

 

[Cormcolash]

Holy shit, this is automatically the greatest film ever made.
Van Damme should do it, after all, Jean-Claude Van Damme with no cash???

 

[robitusson]

Awwwwwsum!

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Ghandi....

Don Logan

 

[killy kill]

From elsewhere on the internets:

It seems that Jean-Claude Van Damme had the chance to sign up to Sylvester Stallone's film The Expendables and even had Stallone on the phone to him personally offering him the role. However for some insane reason he turned it down and the result was the Filmstalker story of Dolph Lundgren getting signed up.
So that's cool on the Dolph Lundgren front, but Jean-Claude Van Damme saying no?! What was he thinking? Well apparently he doesn't want to have his career going down “that route” - that route? What, a huge cast action film that could propel him back into the mainstream spotlight?
Well maybe, that seems to be what he's saying if the rumour is true.

 

[Cormcolash]

In fairness, JCVD is a triumph of a film that is well-written, acted, and directed, and not just a comedy action film with amazing people in the cast.
Personally, I love them both.

Anyone know where I can find one of those cryogenic freezers like Stallone and Wesley Snipes were put in in Demolition Man?
