Electric Spectre prides itself on its knowledge of action flicks, sci fi, Paul Verhoeven films and anybody with large muscles. Now, we know that we are all lamenting the recent rape of childhood memories in the shape of The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Terminator Salvation et al and also worrying ourselves sleepless over the announcements concerning remakes of Total Recall, the A Team and Robocop (although Robocop will be directed by the guy who did Requiem for a Dream, so fingers crossed). But somebody, somewhere in Hollywood has decided that, instead of simply remaking 80s classics, why not just make a brand new one?
Enter the most manly film we at Electric Spectre are ever likely to see. It is called The Expendables and the plot is irrelevant. Look at this cast list. No seriously, look at it.
Sylvester Stallone
Jason Statham
Mickey Rourke
Jet Li
Dolph “If He Dies” Lundgren
Steve Austin (yes, that one)
Randy Couture.
Right now, if you’re embarressed to stand up, hear this. It’s about a troop of mercenaries sent by the CIA into the jungle to bring down a drug baron. Oh my.
It’s in production, due out 2010.
Oh, before I forget, Arnie is to have a cameo too.

according to Arnie “we meet, there is some mumbling and we go our seperate ways.” A return to form for the big Austrian at last!
