Sam Worthington In Talks To Join Arnie In Ten

By Leave a Comment

Two terminators could be getting together in Ten as Sam Worthington is in early talks to join Arnold Schwarzenegger in the thriller Ten. Variety says The Avatar star plans on accepting the offer, if his representatives can work out the financial details.

News of the project first served back in May, when Arnold Schwarzenegger signed up. The movie is about a corrupt team of DEA agents who pull off an elaborate heist that is made to look like a routine drug raid. After hiding the millions in cash they stole, the unit believes their secret is safe, until the team members are assassinated, one by one. No specific character details are known for Sam Worthington’s role.

David Ayer (End of Watch) is set to direct from a screenplay by Skip Woods (A Good Day to Die Hard, The A-Team).

Arnold Schwarzenegger Joins Ten

By Leave a Comment

Although it’s still not certain whether the world wants Arnold Schwarzenegger back in cinemas following his sejourn into politics, we’re getting him, as he’s currently filming The Tomb, will appear in The Expendables 2, being released in August, and stars in The Last Stand, which will be released in January 2013. Now he’s lined up another movie, Ten.

David Ayer (End Of Watch) will direct from an original screenplay by Skip Woods (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, A Good Day to Die Hard). In Ten, an elite DEA task force deals with the world’s deadliest drug cartels. Specialising in complex mobile operations, the team executes a tactical raid on a cartel safe house. What looks to be a typical raid turns out to be an elaborate theft operation, pre-planned by the DEA squad. After hiding millions in stolen cash, the team believes their secret is safe – until someone begins assassinating them one by one.

“I am really excited about this project and the team that’s come together,” said Schwarzenegger. “David Ayer is incredibly talented and exactly what I want for a story this compelling.” Shooting should start later this year.

The Beefcake Is Here In 12 The Expendables 2 Character Posters

By Leave a Comment

Are you excited about The Expendables 2? If not, Lionsgate is hoping this set of 12 character posters will get you buzzing. The movie stars Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Yu Nan, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Liam Hemsworth, Jean Claude Van Damme, Chuck Norris, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. It opens August 17th.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The Expendables are back and this time it’s personal… Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren),Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) — with newest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Yu Nan) aboard — are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time — six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that’s nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother. That is done the Expendables way…’

By Leave a Comment

It’s gonna be Rambo vs. The Terminator vs. Jesus himself in The Tomb, as with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger have been joined by Jim Caviezel in the prison drama. Producer Mark Canton revealed on The Matthew Aaron Show that Caviezel has signed on to play the Warden.

Here’s what the producer had to say below about his growing cast, “It’s a big deal, because I always wanted Sly and Arnold together. The Expendables is fantastic, but where they’re really mono y mono, like in Heat, or a movie of that quality. We have this great director in Mikael Håfström, and yesterday we signed Jim Caviezel to play the Warden. It’s going to be a great cast. For me, it’s a very big thing to work with those guys together.”

The film is about Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone), a security expert who designed the most secure prison known to man. When he’s framed for a crime and sent to the prison he designed, he must outsmart himself to escape. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Church, an inmate who helps his fellow prisoners stay in touch with their own humanity.

Schwarzenegger & Stallone Confirmed for The Tomb

By Leave a Comment

In the 1980s, film fans cried out for a film that would team Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone together in one movie, but it never happened. However since Arnie’s returned to the movies from politics, they can’t stop working together. After two Expendables movies, the duo have now been confirmed for The Tomb, which starts shooting this spring, with Mikael Hafstrom (1408) directing.

The Tomb follows Ray Breslin (Stallone) who is the world’s foremost authority on structural security. He’s analyzed every high security prison and has gained a vast array of survival skills, but all Ray’s ingenuity and knowledge are about to be put to work in the most challenging test he’s ever faced: escaping from the master prison of his own design.

Schwarzenegger, in the role of Church, plays ‘a complex inmate with multiple shades of grey’. He’s the guy who fights to keep the prisoners from losing their humanity in their darkest hour as they struggle together to stay alive.
