Briefly: When Sylvester Stallone assembles an Expendables film, the biggest question isn’t really why the characters are going to be punching and shooting, but who will be doing the punching and shooting. Stallone and Jason Statham are givens at this point, and now we’ve got four more all-but-confirmed names for The Expendables 3.
Jackie Chan, Wesley Snipes, Nicolas Cage and Milla Jovovich, most of whom have been rumored as cast members for a while, are now in “advanced negotiations” to appear, according to the CEO of Lionsgate. Stallone recently said he was looking for a “young Sigourney Weaver” for the film, which could be Jovovich’s role. Patrick Hughes (Red Hill) will direct. [Deadline]

The Expendables 2 is about to hit theaters, and it sees the action all-star roster of the first film bolstered with new additions such as Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme, and bigger roles for Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Producers are already cooking up plans for a third film, and in an interview to promote the first sequel producer Avi Lerner threw out some names that we might expect to see in the next old-age go around. Nicolas Cage is reportedly set for a role, and Lerner is trying to lock down some much bigger names, like Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford. Read More »
Wesley Snipes may have high aspirations to do his own film about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the way that J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI attempted to control and/or discredit the civil rights movement. But don’t think that Mr. Snipes isn’t going to keep making regular old movies. He’s got a tax bill to pay, after all.
So here’s news of a martial arts comedy called Master Daddy that the action star should start shooting any time now. And wait until you see the guest appearance list, which kicks off with the internet’s favorite ass-kicking meme, Chuck Norris. Read More »
To hell with being convicted of tax evasion: despite being sentenced to three years in jail after a protracted battle with the IRS, Wesley Snipes continues trying to make movies. And to hell with Clint Eastwood, too: the movie Mr. Snipes is trying to make now deals with J. Edgar Hoover, specifically with the period in which the FBI director ran a long campaign to discredit Dr. Martin Luther King. The film would be called Code Name Zorro, and the actor says he’s got the King family’s endorsement to tell the story. Read More »

Things haven’t been so great for Wesley Snipes post-Blade 3. He appeared in a string of direct-to-video action movies, ran into a bit of tiff with the federal government, and pretty much seemed to fall of the radar. Now it looks like Snipes’ luck could be changing for the better: He has a role in Antoine Fuqua’s upcoming Brooklyn’s Finest, and today we’ve learned that he’s reteaming with Abel Ferrara (who directed Snipes in King of New York) for a new action thriller, Game of Death.
