Sorry guys, I feel like I've only done
The Expendables posts for the last month. What can I say, there's not much other news out there. Anyway, I came across this little tidbit right from Sylvester at the 'StalloneZone', seems he tried to get Kurt Russell to join the movie but was less than successful. Ehh, this doesn't bother me one bit. Yeah I love Kurt Russell and he was great in many action movies..I mean the guy is Snake Plissken for God's sake. However I never put him in the circle of the 'Testostorone Team' of the 80's, even though he did do
Tango and Cash with Stallone. The most interesting part of this whole thing is how douchbaggy Russell apparently was when asked to join the movie by, what I would assume to be, an old buddy. Here's the post from Stallone:
I know that many people on the site have asked for Kurt Russell. I asked for him too. Actually, I was taken aback when asked to put the request in a letter and send it to his agent. Subsequently, I was called back by the agent several days later after refusing to send a letter and he said Kurt Russell is not interested in ‘ensemble acting’ at this time.
So, People, I came, I saw, I failed.
Best,
Sly
Really? Kurt, the last big thing you did was
Death Proof. You're gonna let your possibly last big role be Stuntman Mike? Even if it is an "ensemble acting" gig it's a hell of an ensemble and an event of a film.
