THE EXPENDABLES 3 (Patrick Hughes, 2014)

Funny you should mention Washington, since he appears to be stuck playing in action movies, Snipes would've done in the 90's.

So, I guess Dolph has the second biggest role in this one (from the old team)? And Wesley after him?

[GeneralMcFaiL]

That's true, he wasn't just known for his action roles: JUNGLE FEVER, ONE MAN STAND, WHITE MEN CAN'T JUMP etc. But I guess he was making more money with action flicks than intimate dramas. PASSENGER 57 really put him on the map as an action star, without this one he could have gone the Denzel Washington way and be more of a character actor (or an Award chaser like DZ).

I love P57... still has my favorite villain (bruce payne!) and theme song by stanley clarke ... of all time!

Any idea as to what capacity Jet Li will be in this one? Or can we expect another quick ten-minute scene along with an exit that doesn't make a lot of sense (speaking of EX2)...?

If I remember correctly Jet Li was there for less than a week so he sure won't be in it for long, but his presence may be better placed and balanced.

And lets not forget Bruce Payne was also the bad guy in "Sweepers" with Dolph!

I found this pic of Mel Gibson on the set of TE3. Looks like he's serious about his role and pumped up his arms to be "Lethal Weapons"!

This was leaked weeks or months before he was on the set (notice the California license plate), some actually argued it might be a fake but I guess not.

Teaser trailer unleashed tomorrow at 10am PST.

I assume it's the one I told you about (shot separately, at least some of it)...

[GeneralMcFaiL]

I hope it's better than the ex2 teaser lol

[Jox]

At least they put more efforts into it.

[Jox]

There you go!

[GeneralMcFaiL]

Eh. I actually kinda preferred the fan made one a page back lol. They really need to market the hell out of this one here in the states because the domestic gross of the film deserves to be higher with all these names involved. It does great outside of the u.s. because some of these guys stars still burn very bright.

I think the first trailer needs to be a jaw dropper to get people here in the states pumped up. I know I was with the first full length trailer for ex2. It kinda felt like they dropped the ball afterwards with the follow up marketing/pr though.

This has the potential to be a huge comeback vehicle for a lot of these guys like gibson, snipes, banderas and etc... not to mention keeping dolph, sly and the others on the big screen. So they need to sell the hell out of this one imo.

Given the amount of stars in this movie and to fit them all into a 60 sec spot....bravo!
So, as far as a "teaser" goes, I think it's perfect!
