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?

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.

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.
