Shooting up some Expendables
The action fanboy/fangirl junkies in us squealed with delight as the casting started to commence for the Sylvester Stallone film “The Expendables“. Now that everything is coming together for the production of this project, more news is slowly creeping up making us all wonder if this huge array of action dudes will live up to the hype. Coming Soon and Ethelmae’s Blog bring us the latest on a particular scene that is filmed. You can read the rest of the piece here and ”The Expendables” bulldozes into theaters on August 20th, 2010.:
After Arnold, Bruce and Sly went through the scene a couple of times they all 3 headed off to wardrobe and make-up.  at 8:10am with three cameras rolling the biggest action icons of our time went to work.  I thought it was electric in Brazil when all of The Expendables stepped on set – but today was atomic!!!!  the whole crew was mesmerized as we watched the three of them play off of each other in a pivotal scene that sets up the whole movie.  And while I can’t/don’t want to give too much away I can tell you that Arnold’s character is Trench and Bruce is Church, the scene was shot in an empty church without extras and minimal set dec and it has tension and humor – what more can a girl ask for!  Sly was in top form as a director today and was in total command.  Bruce and Arnold were consummate professionals at all times – we got through the scene quickly without compromise.  In 6 hours we did wide shots, close-ups, turned around…the whole nine yards…pretty impressive.  Very Clint Eastwood.
