First Pic Of Sly & Arnie In The Tomb Unleashed

August 13, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

In the 80s, when everyone wanted Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger to work together, they never did, but now they can’t stop themselves. They’ve got The Expendables 2 coming later this month and next year they have The Tomb.

Now the first image from that movie has popped up online showing the legendary action stars in prison. The film is about Ray Breslin (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. James Caviezel, Vincent D’Onofrio, Vinnie Jones, 50 Cent, Amy Ryan and Matt Gerald also star.

Vincent D’Onofrio & Vinnie Jones Join Stallone & Arnie In The Tomb

April 5, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger recently signed up to co-star together in The Tomb, and now Variety reports they’ve got a quartet of new castmates, as Vincent D’Onofrio, 50 Cent, Amy Ryan, and Vinnie Jones have signed on for the movie. James Caviezel was also recently added to the cast.

The film is set in the world’s most impenetrable prison, which was designed by security expert Ray Breslin (Stallone). However Ray gets framed for a crime, gets sent to the very prison he created, and must try and escape from the jail which he believes is completely secure.

Amy Ryan plays Breslin’s business partner and possible love interest, Vincent D’Onofrio plays the deputy director of the Prisons Bureau who convinces Ray to do one last job before retirement, while Vinnie Jones is playing a ruthless prison guard. No details are known regarding 50 Cent’s character.

Mikael Håfström is directing from a screenplay by Miles Chapman and Jason Keller, with filming set to begin later this year.

Jim Caviezel Enters The Tomb Opposite Sly and Arnie

February 21, 2012 By Tim Isaac 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.

Shooting is scheduled to begin this spring in Louisiana.

Schwarzenegger & Stallone Confirmed for The Tomb

February 9, 2012 By Tim Isaac 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.

Schwarzenegger May Enter The Tomb With Stallone

January 13, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The currently director-less project, The Tomb has already signed Sylvester Stallone and is looking to bring on Arnold Schwarzenegger to play a key role, according to AICN. Antoine Fuqua was previously attached to direct.

Sylvester Stallone will still play the lead role of Ray Breslin, and expert prison designer who has to escape from the most secure facility he ever helped create. Both veteran action stars will soon come together for The Expendables 2, alongside Bruce Willis, who was also interested in The Tomb’s lead role, but passed.

The Tomb is also in need of a director, and Deadline reports that Mikael Hafstrom (The Rite, 1408) is in talks to take on that job. There’s no news on when the film might shoot.

Sylvester Stallone Enters The Tomb

October 28, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

The Tomb really, really wants an action veteran, as it’s already attempted to get Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger aboard, but while both were interested they eventually moved on. Now it’s trying to complete the trifecta of 80s action luminaries as Sylvester Stallone is now attached to the film.

The film follows Ray Breslin, the world’s foremost authority on structural security, specifically prisons. His skills are put to the test when he is framed and put away in a high-security prison of his own design and must then escape the supposedly impenetrable jail and find the person who put him there.

Antoine Fuqua was formerly attached to direct, but he’s since departed, so the search is one for a replacement. (Source: Variety)
