Synopsis: Expendable: capable of being sacrificed in order to accomplish a military objective.

THE EXPENDABLES is a hard-hitting action/thriller about a group of mercenaries hired to infiltrate a South American country and overthrow its ruthless dictator. Once the mission begins, the men realize things aren’t quite as they appear, finding themselves caught in a dangerous web of deceit and betrayal. With their mission thwarted and an innocent life in danger, the men struggle with an even tougher challenge – one that threatens to destroy this band of brothers.

Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) is a man with nothing to lose. Fearless and void of emotion, he is the leader, the sage and the strategist of this tight-knit band of men who live on the fringe. His only attachment is to his pickup truck, his seaplane and his team of loyal modern-day warriors. His is a true cynic who describes what he does as “removing those hard to get at stains.” The team behind him is made up of Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), former SAS and a savant with anything that has a blade; Yin Yang (Jet Li), a master at close-quarter combat; Hale Caesar (Terry Crews), who has known Barney for ten years and is a long-barrel weapons specialist; Toll Road (Randy Couture), a skilled demolitions expert and considered the intellect of the group; and Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), a combat veteran and an expert in precision sniping who struggles with his own demons.

When the mysterious Church offers Barney a job no one else would take, Barney and his team embark on what appears to be a routine mission: overthrow General Gaza (David Zayas), the murderous dictator of the small island country of Vilena and end the years of death and destruction inflicted on its people. On a reconnaissance mission to Vilena, Barney and Christmas meet their contact Sandra (Giselle Itie), a local freedom-fighter with a dark secret. They also come to learn who their true enemy is: rogue ex-CIA operative James Monroe (Eric Roberts) and his henchman Paine (Steve Austin). When things go terribly wrong, Barney and Christmas are forced to leave Sandra behind, essentially giving her a death sentence. Haunted by this failure, Barney convinces the team to return to Vilena to rescue the hostage and finish the job he started. And to perhaps save a soul: his own.

A little more news on Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables has surfaced. According to the official blog of the film, the film has 3 more weeks of shooting left. They have also offered a few behind-the-scenes photos of one of the sets and some great info on the characters that the star-studded cast are developing. The latest blog post reads:

The Expendables

“I went a little rogue last night… part of my job is to make sure no one takes photos on set other than the unit photographer. when we are shooting in a public place it’s impossible but on stage or on the back lot at the Louisiana Film Studios you must obey my authoritay!! With over 70 extras it’s not an easy task but I make best effort. Last night I broke my own rule – I took photos on the set. I had to – it is such an impressive set. We are shooting the battle scenes that take place in the courtyard of General Garza’s (DAVID ZAYAS) palace. So I am posting a couple of shots I took with the IPhone I hate…

We have 3 more weeks of shooting left – the majority of which will include all of the guys. One thing I love about Sly’s scripts is that no matter how many heads roll (literally) there’s always an element of humor. Who knew that Jet Li and Seve Austin were funny?? Actually Steve makes me laugh more than anyone on set. He’s a totally anchored to the earth living on a ranch in South Texas kind of guy with a big body and a bigger heart. And a sassy sense of humor. Even when Sly and he are beating the bejesus out of each other.

To while away the hours during night shoots I began doing little impromptu interviews with the guys in between setups. GIves me a chance to get some quotes and find out how they see their characters while giving me a little glimpse into who they are as people. Barney Ross (SLY) is the sage and strategist of the team. Lee Christmas (JASON STATHAM) is former SAS and a savant with anything with a blade. Toll Road (RANDY COUTURE) is the intellect of the group, a skilled and deadly demolitions expert. Hale Caesar (TERRY CREWS) is a long barrel specialist who has been friends with Barney for over 10 years. Ying Yang (JET LI) is a master at close quarters combat, who because of his size is the brunt of jokes from the bigger guys. But they all know he can be as deadly with a kick as they are with traditional weapons. Gunnar (DOLPH LUNDGREN) is a combat veteran and an expert at precision sniping. He’s also the problem child of the group.

No news on Church. Oh and the guy who said my blog is poorly written…piss off!!”

Some news in regards to Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables has surfaced. According to  the official blog of the film, it appears that a few rewrites have occurred and that Brittany Murphy’s character has been written out of the film. The good news is that we may soon see some behind-the-scenes footage from the film. An excerpt from blog post reads:

“The script went through a re-write and Brittany Murphy’s character was deleted.  there’s no teaser trailer yet but we do have 60 seconds of BTS footage I was hoping to post but there is some debate as to whether that helps or hurts the marketing and publicity plan by peaking interest too early.  I don’t understand that thought process – I see it differently…but I don’t call the shots.  So we shall see or rather you shall see, hopefully.”

The Expendables was written by Stallone, who is also set to direct the project. which focuses on a group of mercenaries heading to South America to overthrow a ruthless dictator.

The star-studded cast includes Randy Couture, Danny Trejo, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mickey Rourke, Terry Crews, Arnold Schwarzenegger (in a cameo as himself), and Eric Roberts.
