Jason Statham Talks Expendable 3, Homefront & More

On January 15, 2013, Collider posted an update with Jason Statham.  In it Statham talked about Homefront [written by Sly], Expendables 3 and more.  Here are some tidbits…

Homefront is a film that Sylvester Stallone wrote for himself actually.  So, to have a screenplay presented to me by him that he was intending to star in himself was a career point for me.  I said, “Wow!”  He’s a great writer and it’s a really, really cool story.  It’s based on a book written by Chuck Logan called Homefront.  He adapted it to suit me.  It was like a tailor-made suit and Sly did all the sewing.  Fantastic!

Did Sly talk to you at all about Expendables 3 and casting?  Statham:  No.  I saw him on stage at the Golden Globes and he gave me the look.  He went “Whoo!”  He hasn’t said anything but I hear rumors.  I should never go with rumors because they’re often not correct, but I hear Jackie Chan might be coming to the party and that would make me very happy because I do like Jackie Chan.

 

The Franchize is Expendable

Jerry Gaylord aka The Franchize makes his first, but not his last appearance in my Stallone Sketch Gallery with his take on Sly as Barney Ross from The Expendables.

I highly recommend Jerry to all sketch collectors.  He quickly responds to e-mails, his turnaround time is quick and he packages the art to ensure it arrives safely.
