Something strange is happening with the project Sylvester Stallone "The Expendables". Either there was information that Sly was actively recruiting a team, or there was talk of a very specific signing of a Chinese actress to the cast Li Bingbingthen one of the unstoppable team Randy Couture told reportersthat filming of the fourth part of the franchise should begin in the fall of this year.
During this time the project was talked about Jackie Chan и Steven Seagal, who announced that they would not be on Sly’s new team. However, there was and still is no meaningful information from Stallone himself, who is the ideological inspirer of the franchise.
Also, at one time there were rumors that Sly was going to launch a television series based on the trilogy with actors from the old action series, as well as a full-length project, which the network called "Female Expendables". And if everything died out with the series, then with the film about female mercenaries, things moved on. By the way, this was also reported by the omnipresent Randy Couture. This time he told the publication about the project The New York Daily News.
According to Couture, Stallone decided to postpone filming the fourth Expendables film and begin production on an action film called "Unstoppable Beauties" (The ExpendaBelles). The project already has producers in the person of Adi Shankara ("Dredd 3D") and Roberta Luketica ("The killers"). It seems that the latter should also become the director of the film. A film company shared its production base Millennium Films, which is ready to begin the production process in August.
Here's what former MMA fighter turned actor Randy Couture had to say:
I heard that they had a script that was adapted to fourth film, and that we were going to start filming this fall. But now I'm hearing talk about the fourth Expendables movie being put on the backburner and The Expendabelles might be back in production.
Based on the plot of the film, unstoppable beauties will be involved in a rescue operation, which, by chance, turns into an operation to overthrow a certain dictator.
It’s not surprising that Stallone is in every possible way disowning the main franchise, because he already has a lot to do: developing a series about John Rambo, continuing the boxing drama "Creed", as well as some mysterious fantasy film in which Stallone is supposedly playing the main role.
It is known that Sly, being one of the producers of the film, offered the main role in “Unstoppable Beauties” Sigourney Weaver, but the actress said that the negotiations were unsuccessful. 66-year-old Weaver is doing well with her work even without the Stallone project - this year she will appear in a fantasy drama "Voice of the Monster", and will next reprise her iconic role as Ellen Ripley in the upcoming film "Alien 5" Neill Blomkamp.

In addition to Li Bingbing “hovering in the air” in “Unstoppable Beauties”, which is supposed to be an action-comedy in its genre, there may be such actresses who need no introduction as Meryl Streep, Cameron Diaz и Milla Jovovich.
It remains to be added that an attempt to film a female version of The Expendables has already been made in a low-budget action film "Mercenaries" (Mercenaries), where the “dream team” included such actresses as Kristana Loken, Zoe Bell, Вивика А. Fox, Brigitte Nielsen и Cynthia Rothrock. But the film was downright bad.
Well, we can only wait for news and make our own list of actresses who would look great in Sylvester Stallone’s new project.

I'm not really looking forward to The Expendables. Because the picture is slag. Let's be honest - it's trash. They took all our favorite actors and filmed some nasty stuff. The first one is still somehow watchable, then there’s a circus, a parade, a carnival... I’m waiting for something serious in the style of Raid with the cast of Donny, Tony and Iko. It's time for the rest to retire. Perhaps my comment is too harsh, but this is because I’m tired of being disappointed in the films of the “90s action” genre from project to project.
And thank you very much about the article.
Lindolion, I more or less agree, but I want to note that Donny will no longer give his maximum - the maximum was ten years ago. Tony is also no longer a cake, although he is younger and if there is a project like “Raid”, maybe he will still light it up like in “Ong Bak”. But there is little chance of this.
The list is good, but it’s no use, they won’t hear us. However, I will say:
For the female cast:
Karen Shepherd, Kelly Hu, Amy Johnston, Natalia Oreiro, Olga Kurkulina, Dana Hee, Christina Hendricks (before you yell, google who it is), Halle Berry, Natasia Malthe, Li Bing-Bing, J. Lo, Kristanna Loken and Brigitte Nielsen.
In general, any cast - but you need a GOOD fight choreographer and shootout director. Keep comedy to a minimum.
For men: Sly, Statham, Lungren, Chan, Taktarov, Crews/Snipes (one of them) and Hogan - kind; Van-Damme, Adkins (another character), Ray Park, Dragon Wilson, Gruner, Scala/Batista, Donnie Yen - evil, some young relatively evil girl (Malta or Lopez), final boss either: from the galaxy of the 2000s (DiCaprio, Downey Jr. as Barney's brother Ross or Tom Hardy) which will bring together old and new generations of actors to the delight of fans, or a famous charismatic athlete with the ability to hit the scoreboard (Alexander Ovechkin, for example, or Fedor himself, but that's what it takes) work with acting), or Kari Hiroyuki Tagawa, who is no stranger.
For the Russian: Emelianenko, Sidikhin, Pevtsov, Serebryakov, Kurtsyn, Kipelov (let him sing songs and invite Nefors to the cinema), Kravchenko, Averin - kind; Yuri Bykov, Nadya Granovskaya, Vlad Kotlyarsky, Azhigirey, Kochergin, Valuev, Polosukhin are evil, the final bosses are either Rustam Urazaev, or Epifantsev, or Verzhbitsky, who is no stranger.
For the Russian (or CIS) regional: Zakharov, Morin, Fedorov, Shadrin (provided that Dmitry only plays and fights, and is not allowed near the script, otherwise everything will slide into the arthouse) +/- some kind of militant girl - kind; Kolida, Kalashnikov, someone from Yuri Sysoev (Soloviev, Gadzhaev), some of the muscle bloggers (Spasokukotsky, Koklyaev), Belba)))) are evil. The final boss is someone from the Russian list above, who has enough money.
