We still have a nearly 11 months until it releases, but today Empire Online debuted a new image from Sylvester Stallone's "The Expendables" and a few comments from the director himself. To see what Stallone had to say and see the new image, after the break...
Stallone tells Empire Online that he wanted to do a throwback action film that took an old formula and adapted it into a modern era. He said, "What I wanted to do was just try to do something that is a little different. Today, technically, we're incredibly gifted and versatile with CGI, and I wanted to do a film that was more about men, doing things that we did back in the 80s and 90s that were a little more mano a mano – actual, physical stunts." Stallone compared what he is doing to a few classic films. He said, "It's like the dream team...I guess it's kinda like The Dirty Dozen, or one of those films that comes along every once in a while – like The Magnificent Seven – to try to take that old formula and move it into a modern era." Oh crap those are some serious shoes to fill in my humble opinion. I hope that Stallone's comparisons can be validated next summer on August 20th, 2010 when "The Expendables" releases.
Head over to Empire Online to read how Stallone came up with the name for "The Expendables" and stay tuned for news as it breaks... What say you? Will The Expendables live up to Stallone's comparisons to The Magnificent Seven or The Dirty Dozen? Strikeback...
