Statham Praises Sly

Craig / / 2008, Expendables

Shawn Adler at the MTV Movie Blog caught up with Jason Statham long enough to ask a few questions about “The Expendables.” Although Statham couldn’t talk too much about the script he did say this: “Sly is someone I grew up watching on TV and on the movies. He’s a living legend. He’s one of the biggest action stars that Hollywood’s ever seen, the whole world’s ever seen. And so the chance for me to come all these years later and be working alongside Sly is just one of those like pinch-yourself moments… Rest assured… it’s going to be a kickass film.” You can read the full report here. – Craig

Sly announced at the American Film Market convention that he hopes to get Academy Award winner, Forrest Whitaker, for the role of a “devious CIA agent” in his next film “The Expendables.” Sly already has Jason Statham and Jet Li on board and told the crowd: “Whereas the ‘Oceans 11’ films were an ensemble for good looking guys, this is an ensemble for ugly tough guys.” [If only Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin were alive and in their prime!
