Forest Whitaker and Randy Corture have joined THE EXPENDABLES, the self-proclaimed “home coming of tough guys” war movie which Sylvester Stallone writes, stars and directs.
Presumably Whitaker plays the South American dictator who Stallone’s team of mercenaries are attempting to overthrow. Whitaker’s most famous role was as Idi Amin, the Ugandan dictator for whom he won an Academy Award two years ago for portraying in THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND.
Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham, Jet Li make up the rest of the cast so far.
AICN heard the news from their good friend Stallone, who also told them that Jet Li and Dolph Lundgren will be fighting one on one in movie, which is enough to get B-movie action geeks very excited indeed.
If ever there was a man’s movie, this was it! The movie films in Brazil next March.

Hope he manages to get a couple more big action star names in to this, it may end up pissing all over Taratino’s war film! then again this is Stallone, it may just end up being a load of shite!!!
you’re an idiot The Glove…..have you seen Rambo/Rocky balboa? both stallone wrote/directed..both great movies..
No,i’m not an idiot! of course i’ve seen both Rambo (First Blood) and Rocky and both of them are excellent, his best movies you Dork!
The problem with Stallone is that the rest of his output hasn’t been up to scratch(i’m almost sure you wouldn’t argue with me there!) “First Blood” is one of my favorite films, and for my money one of the better film in the Action genre but the rest are crap.
“Paradise Alley” was another really good film but these films were all from years ago.
I’ve got a feeling he may take a back seat in this new film as he’s getting on a bit.
I would like to see him fit Roddy Piper in there also!
