If you’ve followed any of the news about Sylvester Stallone’s ambitious action movie THE EXPENDABLES, you may already know it’s packed full of action stars, wrestlers, and famous fighters. The cast features (outside of Stallone of course) Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Randy Couture, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Terry Crews, Mickey Rourke, Danny Trejo, and Charisma Carpenter. But there’s been rumors that both Bruce Willis and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger shot cameos (which would be Arnold’s first movie appearance in 6 years). Now, thanks to the new action-packed trailer, we can see that’s in fact true. Check it out below, and tell me this doesn’t appeal to the adrenaline movie fan in all of us. And for those wondering about the song in the trailer toward the end, I’m hearing it’s called “Diamond Eyes” by Shinedown – done specifically for the movie.
THE EXPENDABLES opens nationwide August 20, 2010

Okay, I was gonna see this either way, but that trailer definitely pushed this one from “minor interest” to “club-a-seal-to-death-with-newborn-baby” level excitement. It’s looking like a good Summer movie season for people who are me.
I’d like a gofobo pass to see this movie!
