The Expendables keeps getting Expandable. The Hollywood Reporter say Brittany Murphy has joined the film as girlfriend/singer to Mickey Rourke's character. She will get a musical number to perform in the film. Sly Stallone's film which he also leads, is now filming in Rio and Spoiler TV recently featured the first images from the set, which actually made some of the British newspapers yesterday... He's having fun doing this ain't he? You can see a full image gallery, HERE. The same site have a video of the filming above, which is quite funny. Insane cast looks like this... Syvlester Stallone (Barney Ross) Jason Statham (Lee Christmas) Mickey Rourke (Emanuel) Jet Li (Bao) Dolph Lundgren (Gunnar Jensen) Eric Roberts (Monroe) Arnold Schwarzenegger (small cameo as someone who goes "way back" with Stallone's Barney Ross) Charisma Carpenter (probably the role Sandra Bullock turned down) Brittany Murphy (as Rourke's girlfriend and a singer) Danny Trejo, Randy Corture, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Terry Crews, David Zayas, Liam Hemsworth and mixed martial art twins Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. Lionsgate release The Expendables on April 23, 2010. I used to know a guy who loved 80's Stallone/Arnie... I would love to see his face if I could tell him about this movie. It would be like a child opening presents at Christmas.
