Gina Carano to Topline Female 'Expendables' Movie


Recommended Posts

she's not an actress, she was in Haywire and she's mainly known for being a MMA fighter

That would explain it.

This then begs the question why is she the must have women according to this director if she has not been an actress her entire career? Was she really that good in the one role?

Acting ability has nothing to do with who stars in movies..

( Not that she can't act.. just saying, being good at it isn't a requirement :p )

I guess real action movie female actress from the 80's (70's also if you want) on up are too old for the movie.

Sigourney Weaver, Uma Thurman, Jamie Lee Curtis, so many more actress that should be thought of and announced before this woman.

Female "Expendables"? Are you crazy? Is this all Warner Brothers/Universal can come up with?

Bring back action movies like those (starring Arnie, Sly, Bruce, Eastwood, Gibson and Seagal) in the 70s and 80s WITHOUT any computer effects. First Blood, Hard To Kill, etc. were all brilliant movies. I found the Expendables series slightly boring.

No computer effects please - only raw action. And no computers too - just CB radio.

Unfortunately, Arnie and Sly are getting too old for movies.

Katee Sackhoff Fights Alongside Gina Carano in Female EXPENDABLES

Variety reports Sackhoff has signed on to star alongside Carano in the as-of-yet untitled all-female version of The Expendables. No details have yet to be released as to the nature of Carano and Sackhoff?s roles, but Shankar was equally excited about Sackhoff?s addition:

?If you spend five minutes with Katee it becomes blatantly obvious that she would pwn (sic) most male action stars.?

All of these woman execept maybe Uma are too old. Jamie Lee Curtis has white hair now. Basically this will be a expenables/ charlies angles deal. It can work but as long as it does not take itself to seriously. tongue in cheek. and bring some international stars. Got to have some kung fu in there.

Ziyi Zhang, Michelle Yeoh, maggie Q,

Sharni Vinson may not be a name that you?re familiar with just yet, but it will be soon.  The Australian actress leads the excellent new horror film You?re Next in a true breakout role, and now sources confirm to us that Vinson has joined the cast of producer Adi Shankar?s all-female Expendables project.

 

The untitled film already has Gina Carano and Katee Sackhoff onboard to star, and if you?ve seen Vinson?s work in You?re Next you?ll no doubt agree that she makes an excellent addition to the untitled actioner.  

 

The pic is still being put together with Dutch Southern writing the screenplay, but Vinson?s casting confirms that development is indeed progressing towards an eventual production start-date.
