THE EXPENDABLES 2 (Simon West, 2012)

[Nathan]

So now the word is Stallone is back on to direct THE EXPENDABLES 2.

Knew it would happen, like he'd step aside.

[Mosquito]

Well, he did a good job on the first one. I concur.

Posted on the official JCVD Facebook page, towards the end is an interesting Expendables 2 poster with JCVD and Statham on it.

By the way the so called "official" Van Damme page is really official as far as I know actually

Those two posters are fan-made as well:

Very well done video! "The Expandables"... hehe.

I just hope he doesn't steal screen time from Dolph!

Couture talks about a tentative August 22 start date for THE EXPENDABLES 2...

hope this is true. They really need to get to work if they want this out by next Aug. I don't want a rushed post.

Jox, is it 100 percent that Sly is directing?

[Jox]

That's what I heard like everybody else and it would seem logical but I haven't seen or heard any official confirmation of that yet.

The Expendables is bleeding into my dreams now!

I had a dream that they were making a straight-to-DVD version of The Expendables with Michael Jai White, Scott Adkins and Gary Daniels as the main three stars, and then they also had others like Don "The Dragon" Wilson in supporting roles. But then they also threw in Mike Norris, Don Swayze and Chad McQueen, not because they were B-movie action stars, but because on the cover art it would say Norris, Swayze and McQueen.

you do know they did all make a movie together, right? It's called 'Death Ring' and it's pretty awful. lol

Jox, when do you think a director will be hired? Quite frankly I'm a little surprised they have waited so long. The script is being finished and no director is sight?? Not a good move IMO.

[Jox]

If all goes to plan I would think that the director is already hired but they're waiting to make a public statement. Could be announced at Cannes in a couple of weeks.

And Terry Crews just twitted (http://twitter.com/#%21/terrycrews)

"I TOTALLY plan on coming back 4 EXPENDABLES 2. It will be bigger, better and more explosive. Mark my words."

Composer Brian Tyler interview, on trying to bring new themes to a sequel (the "Imperial March" in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK) and THE EXPENDABLES 2 (starts around the 30mins mark):
