Bruce Willis is Expendable?
Sylvester Stallone has managed to put together quite a cast of action heroes for The Expendables. The list already includes himself, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts, ?Stone Cold? Steve Austin, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, and Danny Trejo. They?ve also hinted at a possible ?cameo? for Arnold Schwarzenegger depending on his schedule as California governor.
Even with all those names, apparently there?s still one more major casting announcement left. A role by the name of ?Church,? or the the man who hires the expendable team of mercenaries.
Sheryl Main, the official PR person for the film, has been blogging and tweeting away on set. One of her ?tweets? this week said, ?Looks like we have a Church and man is it great casting. Should be able to announce it very soon?? while another said, ?waiting 4 the i?s 2 be dotted and the t?s to be crossed on the Church deal but the rumor is Sly Arnold & Church in a scene togethr.?
The rumors going around mostly point to Bruce Willis for the role of ?Church.? I would expect a big announcement soon confirming this. If it?s true and Arnold does do a scene with Sly and Willis, it will be the highly-anticipated Planet Hollywood reunion we?ve all been waiting anxiously for. Here?s Main?s response to the rumors:
Ok as for Church ? some of you have it right but I can?t release the name until the deal is absolutely finalized. I?m not trying to tease you I am trying to cover my ass so bear with me?you won?t be disapoointed..at least most of you won?t.
Meanwhile, the Cannes Film Festival is underway and there is plenty of signage for the movie. Take a look at three pictures from France below. The artwork is awesome, but it?s strange they didn?t include some of the other names on the advertising.
