Will Sylvester Stallone's action flick THE EXPENDABLES be a great movie... or the greatest movie?

So far, Sly has lined up Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Forest Whitaker and Randy Couture for his tale of mercenaries on a mission to take down an evil dictator. Will he also be reuniting with his spunky (and still quite desirable) DEMOLITION MAN partner Sandra Bullock?

That's what we've heard from someone who's worked on several Stallone projects, including this one. And while it's not a "done deal", Sly is apparently indeed pursuing her for the project. Bullock would play a government agent (paired up with Whitaker) on the hunt for Stallone's crew of hired guns. Delicious. Thanks to 'Belly' for the tip!

But wait -- there's more! My boy Clint over (or Down Under, more accurately) at Moviehole scored some character breakdowns from the flick, including verification/speculation as to which actors are in the roles. He also describes the movie as "CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER on acid", which only serves to make me dizzy with excitement. Check out all the details RIGHT HERE!

Extra Tidbit: I can't be the only one looking forward to this more than Tarantino's INGLORIOUS BASTARDS. Or most other movies in the next two years.

enough with Arnold
He isn't in it so get over it. We got Stallone, Lundgren, Whitaker, and a few other bad asses.

Arnold's last good movie was Eraser.

In no way shape or form will this be better then Ingloruous Basterds...I just finished the script yesterday and it was amazing. This will probably still be good but its got nothing on QT

No way this will compare to "Bastards". Simply because Stallone is not near the quality of a writer that Tarantino has displayed at his best. However, I am really excited about this movie. The casting so far has been spot on and Stallone's last two movies, "Rocky Balboa" and "Rambo" have been highly entertaining.

This might just be my most anticipated movie of next year. Stallone rules and I have a feeling deep down that Schwarzenegger may appear near the end or something and we'll finally see him and Stallone kicking major ass all over the place.

"The Dirty Dozen"? Really??
Sounds maybe a little like "The Magnificent Seven" meets "The Wild Bunch" with 1980s action. Which I'm totally up for.

And I'm actually completely in favor of them snagging Bullock for this one. It's at least better than her playing a Canadian opposite a Canadian playing an American.

So he's basically remaking "The Dirty Dozen" but set in modern time?

No, Mr. Davis, you are not the only one. I'm looking forward to this WAY more than INGLORIOUS BASTERDS. But that's not to say I'm not excited to see that flick also, there's just some aspects about it that turn me off ( the Eli Roth casting being the main aspect, but I remain hopeful because it's Tarantino). But this, as you said, is shaping up to be the greatest movie ever. Would love for ...

Little/no interest in this OR Bastards, actually
but if I had to choose, I'd probably prefer this before Bastards.
