First Look: Sylvester Stallone in The Expendables

[AristotleP]

SpoilerTv has the first photos from the Rio de Janeiro set of Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables. On Twitter, Stallone explained that he “had to chase a seaplane along a pier and jump inside which was like running headlong into hurricane Katrina.” The actor/director met with select Brazilian press before production began, and offered this insight into what the film is about:

“It’s a 1980s movie with today’s technology,” Stallone told Collider. “But in those days, the female leading character was a helpless girl, waiting to be rescued by the hero. Now we have a very strong female character that evolved to this form while I was writing the script. But except for this, yes, it’s a 1980s movie.”

Good luck to the guy but when you take the amount of pills he does to stay in shape you'd be a bit ticked off if you didn't still have the spuds wouldn't you

Is there going to be a Rambo 5?

Whoever is running the unofficial-looking official blog for Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables has just posted the first look at any real footage from the film. We've seen some photos, but now we get a quick glimpse at some of the action, including that explosion you see above (from a few weeks ago). Not that we've never seen Stallone firing guns before, but as always, it's damn cool to see the behind-the-scenes action and get a sense of what it's like on set while shooting. Hopefully there's plenty more of this kind of footage on its way, as I'm itching for more. With that said, this isn't much, but it is a cool little video, so check it out!

The Expendables is about a team of mercenaries who head to South America on a mission to overthrow a dictator. It stars Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Terry Crews, and Charisma Carpenter. Stallone both wrote and is directing the film. We didn't expect to have some footage this early, but I guess that's what comes with the digital age, where video like this can be served up online in minutes. There is still a lot more we have yet to see from this, so whenever we have more exciting footage or photos from The Expendables, we'll be sure to bring them right to you right away!
