SZoner, ABKing, found the above Denmark poster for The Expendables and was kind enough to post it for all to see.

If you can’t wait for The Expendables to premiere in theaters later this year, then perhaps an Expendables comic prequel will help hold you over.  CBR.com has an interview with Chuck Dixon, the writer of the project.  Here’s a bit of what Dixon had to say:

“This is a movie that Sylvester Stallone has been trying to get together for years; an action movie packed with as many well-known action stars as possible…

“Sly’s not re-inventing the wheel here. He’s just built a really bad-ass, killer wheel of awesomeness…

“My job is to tell a story that takes place before the events of the movie without revealing anything that’s to come in the movie’s story…

SZoner, Bill Pruitt checked in with scans of Sly’s interview from the April 2010 issue of Empire magazine.

Hi Craig,

I posted the scanned article on the forum because I bought it and I know people were antsy to read it.  In case you wanted to still add it for a weekly update…

On March 5, 2010, Stuff.co.nz posted a piece titled, “Sylvester Stallone Feels the Strain.” Sly is quoted about how rough The Expendables shoot was…

“I’ve never been so happy to wrap a film in my life,” he told Empire magazine. “I swear, if you took all the Rambos together, it wouldn’t equal four weeks of that shoot. It was unbelievable. Everything was difficult.

“I’ve just had my throat operated on. I had to have my neck fused. There are three screws in my spinal cord – I had to have a cadaver bone put in my neck! I had my leg operated on too. I had my whole calf pulled up. That was brutal. That hurt. And I need both rotator cuffs done in three weeks. It’s a b***h.”

The article also runs one of the x-ray photos that Sly sent to the StalloneZone.  To check out the full article, simply click here.
