Do you love America? Do you love guns, explosions, muscles, action, tanks, explosions, violence, fighting and explosions? If you do, then you’re a lot like me, pal. And we’ve got mutual friends in The Monocular Group, who have put this awesome fan trailer together for The Expendables 2. They’re also here to remind us that long before a bunch of gussied-up prima donnas assembled to fight evil, there were men to handle our problems: big, strong men with powerful guns and boots on the ground. In a summer dominated by superhero fare, let us not forget the men that built the foundation of the action movie. These men include Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris, Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Jet Li, Randy Couture and Terry Crews. The Expendables 2 also stars Liam Hemsworth, who has something to prove, and Scott Adkins, who should feel right at home with this crew. The movie opens this August 17th in America, the Land of Guns and Awesome. Hit the jump to check out the trailer.

The first full-length trailer for The Expendables 2 has gone online. In addition to lots and lots of gunfire and explosions, there are some truly cringe-worthy moments like Jason Statham dressed as a monk saying “I now pronounce you man and knife,” or when Arnold Schwarzenegger says “I’m back.” The plot also doesn’t make much sense. Jean Claude Van Damme‘s villain needs plutonium, which seems like a useless weapon when you can simply roundhouse kick the world to death.
Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film also stars Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Yu Nan, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Liam Hemsworth, Chuck Norris, and Bruce Willis. The Expendables 2 opens on August 17th.

There’s nothing like waking up to explosions, gunfire and Terry Crews screaming in your face. The terrifying and hilarious Crews is here to shout at your soul until he crushes you into submission and forces you to watch this trailer for the trailer (newer than this trailer) for The Expendables 2. At least he isn’t taking this too seriously. The Expendables 2, starring Crews, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Chuck Norris, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Liam Hemsworth opens August 17th. You can see them all in their mercenary finery on these awesome posters before you hit the jump to check out the trailer trailer.

Lionsgate has released the first trailer for The Expendables 2, directed by Simon West (The Mechanic). It’s a teaser that doesn’t get into plot, or even showcase any major action. At this early stage, with over 9 months to go until the August 17 release, the film is selling itself entirely on the reputation of the cast: Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Chuck Norris, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Liam Hemsworth, Jean Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
If you are interested in the plot, the studio also unveiled the first official synopsis for The Expendables 2 along with a new promo poster. See it all after the jump.

Production on The Expendables 2 is currently underway, and we’ve got some new images from the set. They give us our first look at Jean-Claude Van Damme, as well as glimpses of Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Terry Crews, and more. The cast reads like a Who’s Who of badassness (as evidenced by the recent set photos of the one and only Chuck Norris), with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, and Jason Statham among the actors involved in the action pic, as well as newcomer Liam Hemsworth. Hit the jump to check out the images. The Expendables 2 opens August 17th, 2012.

We’ve got casting news for a trio of films for you today. First up, Elle Fanning (Somewhere) and Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air) are set to star in the indie drama Pure Life. Directed by Van Fischer (Neo Ned), the film a 13-year-old girl in search of romance. Living in poverty, she finds a “bad boy” she deems worthy of taking her virginity. The Playlist reports that Farmiga will play the girl’s “hard-working and short-tempered” mother.
Hit the jump for casting news regarding UFC fighter Randy Couture joining Bruce Willis and Ryan Phillippe in Set Up, and Lukas Haas and Diego Luna signing up for Contraband.

For a film that trades fantastical B-movie fun for deadly seriousness, The Expendables needs a reality check. It thinks that the actors have on-screen chemistry. They don’t. It thinks that the script has plenty of witty banter. It doesn’t. It thinks that there’s thought-provoking pathos in the story. There isn’t. At best, The Expendables is misguided and at worst, it’s an over-confident mess that fumbles completely except for a few action beats.

With Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables getting released August 13, Lionsgate has sent over 3 clips from the action flick that stars Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Terry Crews, Mickey Rourke, ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Hit the jump to check them out:

Comic-Con got a huge jolt of testosterone early Thursday evening as Harry Knowles of Ain’t It Cool News moderated The Expendables panel featuring Terry Crews, ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Bruce Willis (for a moment) and writer/director/star Sylvester Stallone. We got a trailer, a few new clips, a ton of laughs and plenty of curing and fun stories. Hit the jump for all the details.

Lionsgate has released a new Behind the Scenes Featurette on the making of The Expendables. The featurette is the first in a five-part series, with a new one premiering every Thursday from now till release.
This first one focuses on filming a hostage scene and the video has interviews with a lot of the crew and even Harry Knowles from AICN on set while they were filming. What’s well done about the 4 minute clip is the way it mixes in behind the scenes footage with final movie footage (including a shot with a lot of blood!). If you’re looking forward to The Expendables, this clip is only going to get you more excited. Hit the jump to check it out.

Lionsgate has released a few new images and a “sneak peek” from Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables. Starring almost every action star on the planet, The Expendables gets released August 13 and I can’t wait. I heard they did a test screening not too long ago here in Los Angeles that went over huge. Apparently people were screaming in the theater and having a blast while watching it. Based on the first trailer and the new sneak peek…I believe it. Hit the jump to take a look:

The trailer for Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables has come online and it’s not good. It spoils the Schwarzenegger cameo (we knew he was in the film, but they didn’t have to show us his scene), every attempt it makes at humor falls flat, the part where it tries for soulful reflection is where the movie looks funny, and I think the picture has become clear that this is what happens when you make a movie based solely on servicing the fans of B-action pictures. Oh, and when they do all the actors’ last names at the end of the trailer they leave out Terry Crews. No one leaves out President Camacho. Also, Stallone looks like hell and should really lay off the human growth hormone.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer and the official synopsis. The Expendables hits theaters on August 13th.

Earlier today, while most of us were trying to enjoy our Saturday, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger filmed a scene together for “The Expendables”. If you’re a fan of action movies, this is like Christmas morning. While the scene in question is just a small part of the movie…who cares! These three action stars have never worked together and even if it’s just for a moment in the movie, this is another reason why “The Expendables” is going to be awesome. More after the jump.
