On March 1, 2013, Vinnie Jones was profiled in Metro in a piece called, I‘d Rather Chat about Golf with Sylvester Stallone than Fight. He spoke a bit about working with Sly on The Tomb and his hope to be a part of Expendables III. Here’s a taste…
<Jones> can be seen starring alongside action movie legends Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger in jail drama The Tomb, due out in September. Jones plays a corrupt prison warden.
‘Sly and I had a major fight scene which took about three days to shoot,’ says Jones. ‘I suppose it’ll last about three minutes in the film but it was extraordinary. We had more stamina for talking about golf than fighting – Sly had brought his driver with him on set to show me his back swing.’
Jones says he’s also in talks for a part in The Expendables 3 after approaching Stallone on set. Sly’s action movie series already stars Jones’s Lock, Stock… co-star Jason Statham.
‘It’s all got to be written yet so nobody knows how big the roles are,’ says Jones. ‘But yeah, it’s been spoken about with him and Kevin King, Sly’s producing partner, so that’s an exciting prospect.’
