Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger to Star in Incredible Love. Meow.
Posted on Sunday, June 22nd, 2008 by Hunter Stephenson
Hey Life: why? After millions of lunch room dream movie arguments in the ’80s; after spiders launched webs inside their Planet Hollywoods, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone are finally teaming up on screen! It’s inglorious, bastards. The Times Online reports that they’ll co-star in the highest profile Bollywood flick to date, Incredible Love, the story of an Indian stuntman who can’t find true romance in the States (aw). C’mon, just have a duel with Nerf rockets instead.
The film is headlined by Indian stars, Ashkay Kumar (Singh is Kinng) and Kareena Kapoor (Bewaffa) and will film at Universal Studios, a first for the flashy Indian cinema. Apparently, Stallone will have a larger part than Arnold, and it wasn’t clarified whether they’d be playing their real life selves. Expect it to be cheeky, cheeky like that photo above.
“Sajid Nadiadwala, the producer, said his success in landing Stallone and Schwarzenegger reflected the growing power of the Indian film market and Bollywood’s increasing cooperation with Hollywood studios that are keen to cut costs.”
Indeed. Earlier this month, Steven Spielberg made a landmark deal worth $500 million plus with Indian entertainment company Reliance ADA. For more on that situation, click to see the /Film post Dreamworks For Dummies. If all of this Bollywood news makes you want get your party on, let us suggest Bombay the Hard Way and the newly released King Kahn and the Shrines (seriously amazing with Bollywood-inspired cover art) as the soundtrack.
In other news: The Love Guru was a massive flop this weekend. Cool.
Discuss: Incredible Meh? Wouldn’t it be grand if Die Hard 5 went Bollywood and was rated PG?

Its all about and money and business.
Just like Arnold agreed to be in T4 if they filmed it in California.

The first thing that came to mind was the British Pub episode of Family Guy. Holy crap.
22nd June, 8:28pm
I don’t get it.

This would be awesome news if this was 1989.
22nd June, 11:18pm
It is about time for India to dominate.
Awesome.
22nd June, 11:31pm
Jojo you gotta be kidding me.
(Captain Awesome)
These roles will be quick cameos used to generate buzz for this India produced film that is shooting in California. Arnold and Stalone are making alot of rich friends and influencing alot of rich people. Neather one of them will set foot in India for this.
Jojo you gotta be kidding me?

I think its funny that there shooting this at Universal. Whoo hooo, short drive for Stallone and Arnold !!!!!
Maybe they need the Pyscho house as a background shot or really they just want to see the new Simpsons ride.
I’m thinking Simpsons ride.

[...] os produtores bem empolgadinhos com as participações de ambos heróis de ação das antigas. No /Film saiu a seguinte declaração: “Sajid Nadiadwala, o produtor, disse que seu feito em colocar [...]

Come on Stallone and Russel we need a “Tango & Cash 2″!!..makes just as much sense as the recent Rocky and Rambo movies…
23rd June, 2:37pm
Christopher, you didn’t like Rambo?
Tango and cash was just a bare bones shoot um up of the month film.
I liked Rambo, thought it was the best one out of the 4.
Don’t care for Rocky.

I liked the new Rambo, I didn’t say I hated it….It’s just I’d personally like to see a Tango and Cash sequel…it was a lot more entertaining than 48 Hours or Lethal Weapon for the most part…I also disliked the Rocky movie, it’s just if Stallone is making all these sequels Cash deserves a return as well…same with Judge Dread..lol

That’s cool, I only saw T&C one time and I laughed alot.
The ending when the crashed the scrapers was funny as they would have both been dead on impact in real life.
Judge Dread, haha.
I am the Law!!! Now I know your kidding.
23rd June, 3:07pm
@790
I was kidding about Dread, but you have to admit that huge cyborg was kinda cool..and the sets were decent enough…
23rd June, 3:19pm
Yeah Dread had some nice sets I agree. And the outfits looked good. Stallones WAY to old to utter the line, “I Am The LAW!”.
Demolition Man was very cool as well.
I’ve read that there writing a sequel to Rambo, not sure about Rocky.
