Well that's cool. Nicolas Cage is everywhere! :P

Nicolas Cage Signs On For The Expendables 3, Stallone Wants Harrison Ford

nicolas cage seeking justice a l 639x360 Nicolas Cage Signs On For The Expendables 3, Stallone Wants Harrison Ford

Sylvester Stallonehas succeeded once again in his on-going mission to cast anybody who ever threw a punch during the course of any film in one of hisExpendablesmovies:Nicolas Cage(that guy that used to be an actor and is now something else entirely) has signed on to star in theThe Expendables 3. Cue sounds of explosions overdubbed with ridiculous Nic Cage quote (eg. Not the bees).

Given that theExpendablesmovies are massively popular despite the fact that the average age of one of its characters is 76 it came to no surprise that a second sequel had made its way into the development stages. And though Cage isnt exactly the musclebound action hero that say, Arnie and Sly were in their days, there arent really many of those kinds of actor left, okay? Besides, Nicolas Cage will sign onto anything, given that he owes all that money to everybody.

Heres what Rocky had to say on the matter:

We are preparing the film with the same passion and commitment as the previous two. We have confirmed Nicolas Cage, a master actor who gives a veneer intellectual group. Hopefully we can realize to Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes and Mickey Rourke. That is the great mission of the producer. We will continue with the same narrative scheme, the agility and the frenzy, which are inherent to the saga. What will definitely be the last? I can not guarantee. In principle it would be two deliveries, but the affection of the people encouraged us to work on a third. I guess as long as we amused ourselves by offering fun and people, we can continue playing The Expendables. For now we are not as expendable as it should and as some critics want.

Harrison Ford? Saywhat? Ford, of course, was once the biggest action star of all-time, often seen racingabout cityscapes searching for his family, usually playing a character called Jack (who may or may not have had extensive military training at some point). Though we cant imagine the ol grumpster getting on board with something like this, it would actually be pretty cool to have him doing the old action star does slower fighting schtick.

Sly could write him an amusing line that cleverly references a role from the old days. Ford could, uh, kill a bad guy called Snake and then spout something like, um, I hate snakes. Like in Indiana Jones. Remember?

Go away. Im not a screenwriter.

So, what do you make of Cages casting? Would you like to see Harrison Ford in this movie too?

I wouldn't care at this point if Michael Cera was the next biggest star for the sequel. If The Expendables 3 doesn't do something different, it will be awful regardless.

Get him, Bruce Willis, and Will Smith.

I can't see Will Smith in this for two reasons:

1. He seems like the type of person who won't do a role unless there's a HUGE payday in it for him. Just take a look at his IMDB page; the majority of his role are all big budget movies. Unless he's getting a big payday, he's not gonna be in it.

2. He has a reputation for doing nothing but family friendly pics or again, big budget films; hardly in any R rated movies (except for the Bad Boys films). He turned down the chance to be in Tarrantino's Django Unchained for MIB 3. I don't know if its for the money or what, but he doesn't seem like a good fit.

He actually played both Superman in Man of Steel and the Scarecrow in Batman Begins but was so epic in his performances that Nicolas Kim Coppola was booted from his roles by the co-stars in jealously at being upstaged and entire movies were reshot with recast actors

thats how badass Nicolas Kim Coppola is

Were either of the first two movies even any good? I never watched them. But like...the longer this franchise continues, the more sad and desperate the whole concept seems. Because unless I'm mistaken, aren't these movies pretty much just about watching old action stars from the past come back and kick some ass? First time, I could see the appeal in the concept (even though I never watched the movie). But as they keep making more movies, the whole casting seems to be less about any kind of story. All I ever hear about these movies is about which old-ass action star from days past has gotten attached to the sequel. And add to the fact that they're going on three of these movies now, based on nothing more than the premise "older actions stars get together and kick ass", it just seems...desperate. Sad. Like a really sad attempt to just hold onto the past for no other reason than resisting change. Do we really need 3 Expendable movies? Do these movies really have to include every single popular aging/old former action star on the planet? To someone who has never seen these movies, they seriously come off less as an attempt to make good movies and more of an attempt to just jam-pack a movie with anyone and everyone who used to kick ass. And that just comes off to me as sort of masturbatory. Porn for action movie geeks who have a hard-on for nostalgia. And hell...unless I'm mistaken, I'm pretty sure that someone's trying to do a chick version of the Expendables with a cast of all old female action stars. So...serious question. Are any of these movies actually any GOOD? Is there literally ANY point to these movies other than simply being sort of action porn for geeks who can't stop living in the past? I mean, Nicholas Cage and Harrison Ford? Is there some actual reason for them to be there, or they literally just trying to pack this franchise with every old/aging dude who used to at one time be an action star?

Well, Chan is pretty much cutting back on big action movies, but that's not to say he may or may not do a cameo (like a Hong Kong Police contact).

How is Cage "signing on" surprising? The man will be in anything. If you had said he accepted the lead role of toaster in an Eggo Waffle commercial I wouldn't have doubted you.

The Expendables 2 was pretty good, way better than the first one. Cage sucks though so fvck him. This movie needs Donnie Yen and Kurt Russell.

Expendables 3 will be amazing just because of the cast, but the action is awesome as always too in the first 2. Can't wait to see the complete cast.

Van Damme was already in two, Snipes in in jail right now, Russel turned down the offer in part 1 sadly, Segal is a doughy, pasty wreck, Bronson has been dead since 2003, and Mr. T has found religion. The rest--eh, why not?

It'd be neat if he has a role like Chuck Norris did in 2.

It's hard to watch the old Lethal Weapon movies now because of rants like this.I'm always wondering, "What was he REALLY thinking about when he was working with Danny Glover?"
