It's supposed to take place in Malibu, unless they changed it but it doesn't seem so...

My first ever scene on TV for SAF3. I've only done 3 days and loving every moment. Only 101 days left of production. #saf3 #rescue3 #cwtv @areyousaf3

Seems that Expendables 3 is due to film mid August (apparently). I wonder when Dolph is going to break away from filming in this to hit Bulgaria? If you look at True Justice, Seagal isn't actually in the shows that much, so I wonder if they're gonna try and get a lot of Dolphs scenes out the way early?

[Jox]

First of I'm not sure as the rest of the planet about EX3 starting filming as early as this month, then from what I understood Dolph should do a couple months on SAF3 then go on EX3 and do more SAF3 later. Whatever happens happens, but he's not out of EX3!

Why do I always end up in camo ?

D looks in great shape for this. Probably for those slo-mo running shots along the beach!

No, I'd be really surprised if Expendables started filming this month. They don't appear ready at all. No one seems to have officially signed on as yet. There doesn't appear to be a script yet, or even a plot outline. I would have thought later September earliest. It does appear most of the suggestion about them filming soon is coming out of Bulgaria. They also keep claiming that Seagal is still involved but that's unlikely.

I'm actually quite looking forward to SAF3. I'll be interested to see how it turns out. At the very least we'll get an hour of Dolph every week! I just hope it's a lot better than RTTS.

I just hope it's a lot better than RTTS.

Oh god yes please, D should sue them for making him appear in such a brainwashing turd of television because I doubt this is what he expected when they pitched the show to him.

As for SAF3, I smell cheese...... Bet this camo scene is for flashbacks.

Jox, do you know if the first season is still going to be 22 episodes?

If they have 104 filming days, as that one cast member says, that divided by 22 would only be less than 5 days per episode, which is not a lot, since most hour long episodes shoot for 6-8 days.

Maybe syndicated shows have shorter schedules, but that would seem odd considering they have $1.5M budget per episode.

Cheesy is an appropriate word to describe the premise that's for sure, but I just hope it's the good kinda cheesy.
Walker, Texas Ranger is cheesy as hell, yet I enjoy watching it.

Seagal's show on the other hand is dreadfully boring, and he isn't that much involved in the show at all.

[Jox]

20 or 22 episodes for the first season yeah... 5-6 days per episodes sounds about right...

[shooby]

to count in days of filming per episode may be obvious : you can shoot today a scene of the last episode and tomorrow the end of the first episode

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks the same about RTTS. I didn't wanna be the first one... RTTS is so embarrassingly bad, it's a flat-out insult. The initial premise and promo (the one where he is driving the Delorian) had promise -- regular, every-day individuals recreating actual stunts from famous action movies. Unfortunately, the actual product is merely a shell of the original premise. All they're doing is competing in absurd contests where the initial "scene" was shot. That's it. TERMINATOR 2... Being strapped to the front of a cruising semi while your partner hits you with paint pellets? Come on... The BRIDESMAIDS stunt was enough to make me quit watching it for good; at that point, I had it. Jox, do you know if this is what Dolph knew the show was gonna be like when he signed on? On one hand, it's fun to see a new side to the guy, but on the other hand, it becomes increasingly embarrassing to see him in the various getups, cracking jokes, etc.

I really can't see Dolph hosting another season of this... Hopefully he opts not to... He's got such a full plate of various acting gigs that maybe he should take a break for once... The sad thing is, Dwayne Johnson is hosting a similar show on TNT called THE HERO. While it's not great by any means, it at least has a tone of seriousness to it and not the goofball slapstick quality that RTTS has. If only Dolph could've taken that job instead...

As it stands, SAF3 should have the potential to be at least better than RTTS... But that's not saying a lot. Perhaps he should talk to his agents about getting a gritty premium cable show going... There are plenty of those (if he wants to continue down the television route)... And I'd much rather see him headline that.
