Arnie, Sly and Willis to star in The Expendables

London, Sept 14 (ANI): The toughest men of Hollywood - Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis - will unite for a total non-stop-action-packed flick called The Expendables.
The movie will see hardman Stallone - who is also directing the film- take on a South American dictator with his mercenary team.
The film will see the trio together for the first time after their flop restaurant venture Planet Hollywood, in 1991.
“I wanted to do a film that was more about men, just doing things that we did back in the 80s and 90s with films that were a little bit more men on men,” the Telegraph quoted Stallone as saying in the Venice film festival.
The 63-year-old star added that his cast was a “dream team” and his aim was “to find certain personalities that never would ever work together normally and put them all together”.
He said: “Arnold, Bruce and I will be working together for the first time, maybe in two weeks, so I had to grow back my beard and get ready to film it in Los Angeles,” he said at the festival where he is receiving a special award.
“It’s very difficult to get us all together at the same time. It’s impossible to get all those egos in the same room.”
Stallone has also roped in action man Mickey Rourke for the movie and it is believed Randy Couture and Chinese martial artist Jet Li will also join him in the new film.
The movie will be released in the summer of 2010. (ANI)
