Awesome! Chuck Norris And Van Damme Are In THE EXPENDABLES 2. Nic Cage And Travolta Might Join As Well

When Chuck Norris does push ups, he doesn’t lift himself up, he pushes the earth down! God bless America, God bless Chuck Norris!
Sylvester Stallone revealed the kick-ass news today to EW that 2 legendary action has-beens, Chuck Norris and Jean Claude Van Damme have officially signed on to THE EXPENDABLES 2. I guess JCVD doesn’t have complaints about the scripts and characters anymore.
And here’s what’s awesome..there might be an epic fight scene of Sly Vs. JCVD
Wait, that’s not all, Sly also said that Face/Off duo, Nicolas Cage and John Travolta might wanna sign on to this testosterone sequel too…

“We’ll have a big showdown between me and Van Damme, which has been anticipated for a long time, so it should be a good one,”
“We’ve got Chuck Norris and I think Nic Cage,” says Stallone.
“It’s possible. The one thing I’ve learned is what is a fact on Monday is a complete fallacy on Tuesday. A lot of it is scheduling. It’s not financial. It’s just that Bulgaria is definitely a jaunt. It’s a commitment, you know what I mean? Especially in the dead of winter.”

“We’re trying to work out different scenarios. I like using people that had a moment and then maybe have fallen on some hard times and give them another shot. So we’re always looking for actors like Michael Biehn and Michael Pare. I like those kinds of guys. Someone did it for me and I like to see if I can do it for them. We also need some new blood in there, a Navy Seal-type, because with the Expendables none of them have 20-20 vision anymore. They need some help, man.”

Wow! Arnold, Bruce, Chuck, JCVD, and possibly Cage and Travolta.. dude, so much awesomeness, my head will explode!
yes please throw in Biehn and Pare too.. let’s party like it’s 1986. Ha!

Production on THE EXPENDABLES 2 will start in Bulgaria at the end of this month

The first film banked $275 million worldwide…

Stallone, Statham, Rourke, Lundgren, Couture and Crews return as hard-edged but noble mercenaries in the second installment of Sylvester Stallone’s old-school action thriller, The Expendables.

As payback for taking out the corrupt CIA agent Monroe (Eric Roberts) in the first Expendables, cagey Agent Church (Bruce Willis) forces the Expendables to do an “easy mission”: retrieve a missing CIA package from Gazak, a civil war torn country in Easter Europe.

The easy mission turns deadly when the Expendables are ambushed by a team of ruthless rival mercs, the Sangunaires, competing to get the same package. Tool (Mickey Rourke), the heart and souleof the Expendables, is brutally murdered by Vilain, the leader of the bloodthirsty guns for hire. Still, the Expendables manage to pull of the mission and return with the CIA package, but it’s a hollow victory.

As their thoughts turn from grief to revenge, Tool’s beautiful young daughter Fiona shows up. Cut from the same stone as her dad, she wants to join the Expendables when they hunt down Vilain and his men. Barney (Stallone) promises her the Expendables will avenge Tool’s death, but will not risk putting his best friend’s daughter in harm’s way.

Fiona, who is young and wile, embarks on her own revenge mission, complicating matters for Barney when she is captured and ransomed by VIlain. Now Barney and the expendables must risk everything to save her, kidnapping CIA Agent Church and pulling off a daring heist of the CIA package they were hired to bring back.

When Agent Church reveals why the CIA package is so valuable to Vilain, the stakes go up even higher. Inside the package are canisters of radioactive cesium which Vilain has been tasked with releasing on the people’s uprising that threatens the thirty year rule of Gazak’s vicious dictator, President Dogot.

The Expendables, along with Agent Church, are now faced with an impossible mission: rescue Fiona, foil a dictator’s vicious plot to kill scores of innocent people, and avenge the death of one of their own.

THE EXPENDABLES 2, is scripted by David Agosto and Ken Kaufman. To be directed by Simon West (Con Air)
THE EXPENDABLES  2 will punch bad guys in the face, break people’s necks, shoot them in the head, topple dictators and cause explosions to happen without particular reason on August 17th, 2012!!
