Stallone talk Arnie and Willis Cameo in the Expendables
Finally news has broken about the cameo from Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Expendables which has long been rumored and now Stallone has finally given us some details on how the cameo unfolds. Entertainment Weekly broke the story and it seems that Arnie will be playing a rival mercenary in the movie The Expendables, where his and Stallone’s character are talking to Bruce Willis about the job that Stallone’s team end up taking.
Bruce Willis said ‘Well, there’s one other person I want to talk to before I hire you,” says Stallone. “And then Arnold, who plays my old rival, walks in. We have a history together. And we go back and forth and I tell him that I should have shot him a long time ago when I had the chance. Then it goes on from there. And here we are, the three of us trying to man up to one another, playing off of who we are, using our baggage in this one scene.”
and Stallone added “It’s probably going to be about 5 minutes of screen time.” Which, if you think about it, is kind of impressive considering that Willis and Schwarzenegger were only on the L.A. set for 6 hours. “We only had them for that one day and then Bruce had to go off to Istanbul and Arnold had to go back and do his governmental stuff. But I was impressed because they got up at 5:30 in the morning to do this.”
So it sounds like they are using the real life rivalry they had and putting in to rest in the new movie, seems like a pretty good way to bring them into the movie, I’m definitely looking forward to it. You can read the rest of the story here over at Entertainment Weekly.
