The Expendabelles
 

The Expendables is getting an all female spin-off called The Expendabelles!! :lol:

Meryl Streep, Cameron Diaz and Milla Jovovich are currently in talks to star!

Cameron Diaz's face is enough to kill most evil foreign leaders.

Um....where are the female actions stars? I mean...Meryl Streep and Cameron Diaz? Is this a rom-com?

If Michelle Yeoh Or Zhang Ziyi isn't in it, no thanks.

The name is silly, but I'm all for an all female lead action movie in the same vein as Expendables

2 words: Sigourney Weaver

If she is not in it, it is not Expendabelles.

2 more: Cynthia Rothrock. She was THE female action star in the 1980s, like the distaff equivalent of Chuck Norris.

And how could i forget Linda Hamilton?

BUT....why don't they just add female action stars to the next Expendables? Why a whole separate (yet equal) movie?

crossover movie

Is it supposed to be serious? Maybe it's a spoof and that's why it's a whole other film.

At first, i thought that this was a spelling mistake in the title of the thread:lol:

Ugh. Just when I thought they couldn't make a movie MORE disappointing than the actual "Expendables."

No me gusta.

She was awesome. And am I the only one that finds her attractive yet terryfying? I hope not.

Before Yeoh there was Angela Mao.......

If I could add three more: Sarah. Michelle. Gellar.

No one, but no one, is going to go and see this.

Gina Carano kind of needs to be in this, though.

I love me some Buffy but... I'm just not seeing her fitting into this.

I enjoyed the Expendables movies. Those movies know what they are, and they do it well. And I actually like the idea of this movie. But these actresses are ridiculous.

I'm not even saying that these women need to be buff and "badass," like the guys. But they should be known primarily for action movies. I would agree about Michelle Yoeh, but I doubt she's famous enough. Gina Carano's name always comes up, but wasn't the point of the Expendables about getting old guys back in the saddle, and bring back old school action? I think, maybe these actresses should be from the past.

I'd be all for Sigourney Weaver and Linda Hamilton, but those women are old. I know I just said that's the theme. But from a marketing standpoint, target audience here is probably still men. And they're gonna make sure to keep the sexy cranked up.

There may be no way to cast this movie well and sell it.

I don't know what makes me more sad:

The sheer amount of sexism you just added to the conversation.

Or

The fact that that's exactly how Hollywood thinks.
Ugh, so gross. So so gross.

I won't see it regardless, because the first Expendables movie was no where near worth the price of admission.
