The Expendables 2, trailer and release dates

If ever a movie epitomised what The All Action No Plot Movie Blog stood for, then 2010’s The Expendables was that movie!

Well, now it’s back, with the appropriately named The Expendables 2. Even the title harks back to those action flicks of the 80’s and 90’s.

Apart from the mindless action, gunfights and explosions the one thing that made the original stand out from the crowd was it’s cast. Well, believe it or not they’ve just made the cast list for the sequel even better…

The closing credits in the trailer say it all. “Stallone, Statham, Li, Lundgren, Norris, Crews, Couture, Hemsworth”. Then the next page continues with “also Van Damme, with Willis and Schwarzenegger”.

Yep, you did read that alright. And yes, that is Norris as in Chuck Norris.

Check out the scene with Schwarzenegger and Willis in the Smart car. Classic!

The Expendables 2 has a release date of the 17th August 2012 for Canada, the US and the UK, and a release date of the 30th August 2012 for Australia.

Teaser Trailer for The Expendables 2

Ok, so my last post revealed the new movie poster for The Expendables. Well, today I’m going to show you the new teaser trailer.  
 
To be fair, it is only a teaser and doesn’t give anything away. At the beginning there is a snippet of dialogue between Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone and then some very quick snapshots of the impressive cast. And well, that’s about it.  
 
Have a look for yourself… 
 
 
The Expendables 2 will be released in the US on the 17th August 2012 and in Australia on the 23rd August.

The Expendables 2 will be released in the US on the 17th August 2012 and in Australia on the 23rd August.

Chuck Norris, Travolta and Van Damme join cast for The Expendables 2?

Lol, isn’t the headline above every action movie fan’s biggest wet dream? Sure, a lot of it’s all rumours at the moment, but can you imagine if it actually happened?

I’m still chuckling and shaking my head at the thought of Norris, Travolta and Van Damme joining… wait for it,  Jason Statham, Sly Stallone, Jet Li, Dolph Lungdren, Mickey Rourke, Randy Couture, Terry Crews and Steve Austin for the upcoming action-orgy. Not to mention more fleshed-out roles for Bruce Willis (as the main villain in the sequel) and none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger! Shooting for The Expendables 2 apparently starts this September in Bulgaria.

What more can you ask for? Except a release date? 17th August  2012 for US/UK, how about that?
