Jason Statham and Wesley Snipes

Stars Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Banderas, Kellan Lutz, Jason Statham and Wesley Snipes, and producer Avi Lerner, came on Monday to discuss THE EXPENDABLES 3. Seven things we learned:
- Stallone observes that Harrison Ford is a minimalist, and he thought he was eating him up on camera, and then saw the dailies and realised, “You’ve been swallowed Sly.”
- Stallone states they wanted to reach a broader audience, so dropped the rating. BOURNE and BOND are pretty graphic. The DVD should have extra frames. Also, if too violent would diminish the humour.
- Banderas says he brought comedy – he is a weapon of mass destruction of talking. When seeing his fellow actors roll their eyes, he knew he had something.
- Snipes has been waiting to work with Stallone since DEMOLITION MAN. “You’ve been busy, I’ve been busy,” he quips. Sylvester jokes about writing ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ 2 for Wesley. Snipes mentions that his hair fell out during DEMOLITION MAN due to the blonde dye.
- Of Ronda Rousey, Stallone observes she is a new kind of entertainer. She can tie you into a knot and re-tie you.
- Favourite career stunts:
- Stallone – ROCKY IV – The climactic fight with Dolph Lundgren; is one long stunt over 15 rounds that took six months.
- Statham – CRANK – Fight on a skyscraper near a helicopter.
- Lerner jokes about wanting 27 EXPENDABLE movies, but there will probably be another two or three. Stallone wants franchise spin-offs like THE AVENGERS, e.g. Banderas with “The Expendabelles”; or in a divorce with Sigourney Weaver, she gets half the money and half the Expendables. Lerner mentions that “The Expendabelles” is starting next year.
