Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis will not only return for the sequel to Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables, but now comes word from Deadline that the two actors have officially closed deals for “substantial” roles in the film.
Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews and Randy Couture are also returning. The ensemble will be joined by Chuck Norris, Scott Adkins and Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Story: After Tool (Mickey Rourke) is brutally murdered on a mission, his comrades swear to avenge him. They’re not the only ones who want blood. Tool’s beautiful young and wild daughter Fiona embarks on her own revenge mission, complicating matters when she is captured and ransomed by a ruthless dictator plotting to destroy a resistance movement. Now Barney (Sylvester Stallone) and the Expendables must risk everything to save her and humanity.
Universal Pictures has unveiled the first clip from the prequel to John Carpenter’s The Thing, which you can check out below.
While it’s impossible to glean much from this footage, the clip here seems to borrow most of the beats of the cliched horror film: Person is given a scare by a colleague just for fun, leading to an exhale from the audience…right before the real scare comes along—pretty standard stuff.
Though again, one clip does not a movie make, and we’ll have to wait to see if this effort equals more than the sum of its parts.The sequel stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) and Joel Edgerton (Animal Kingdom).
Story: At an Antarctica research site, the discovery of an alien craft leads to a confrontation between graduate student Kate Lloyd (Winstead) and scientist Dr. Sander Halvorson (Ulrich Thomsen).
Directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr, the The Thing prequel arrives in theaters on October 14.
