Nicolas Cage not appearing in 'Expendables 3' [UPDATED]


Recommended Posts

You sure about that? I doubt he's at 400 lbs. You must be thinking someone else.

In real life, Steven Seagal is a sheriff deputy. He is not staying home 24/7 sitting on couch to gain his weight... he's always on the run... from point A to point B for movie duties, and back to his real job, and other places where he needs to go to.

He was asked to join with the Expendables team but he turned it down.

I know who he is. His first few movies were at the top with other action movies from that era (80s and 90s).

I bought a DVD with three of his later movies about a year or two ago, and just couldn't get through them. The story line was weak, it was obvious what was going to happen next, and in most cases, you actually didn't see him fighting - it was computer animated, or a double was used. I haven't seen anything new of his since (except an episode or two of Lawman).

It's a shame he put on so much weight. I was hoping there would be a chance that he would get some weight-loss tips from Sly and Arnie before filming (for Expendables 3) started.

I did find Expendables 2 a bit too immature. I was hoping for another movie that makes you sit at the edge of your seat, like "Predator", "Assassins", or "Daylight". I was getting tired of all the "I'll be back" jokes, and Chuck Norris having supernatural powers.

Cage "used" to be a master actor. Films like Bringing Out The Dead, Con-Air, Adaptation, The Rock, Gone In 60 Seconds, 8mm and so on. Hell, even National Treasure was an alright film, but since the early 2000s he's just been making rubbish to pay off his tax bill and debts.

I'll watch The Expendables 2 & 3... eventually, but I'm not looking for an amazing film from either, unlike some people. They'll be pure trash, and that's all I want from them

My post was for Growled. Not you.

Anyway, Steven is probably about 230 lbs... but it is not bad. He is a big guy. But not really fat like a fat guy who sits in the bed and unable to move around. He may lose some weight at some point before he does the dangerous stunts. Otherwise all he does is simple tasks in the movies such as punch, flip the guys over to the ground, etc.

I know he isn't doing well in the recent movies lately... but he wasn't only one who sucks at acting. I am sure other actors who suck at acting ...

Like I said, he was asked to join the Expendables team, but he turned it down. He won't join with them at all unless they get different producer which the current producer and Steven are probably not getting along well.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years by Pradeep Viswanathan TSMC is now leading the chip manufacturing industry with its 2nm-class process node called N2. Samsung Foundry also has a 2nm-class process node called SF2. TSMC says N2 entered volume production in Q4 2025. Samsung says SF2 started mass production in 2025. Today, IBM announced the world’s first sub-1-nanometer chip technology, marking another major semiconductor research milestone. The new technology is based on a 0.7nm, or 7-angstrom, node and uses a new transistor architecture called “nanostack.” The new design vertically stacks and staggers nanosheet-based transistors so that more components can fit into the same chip area while also improving performance and power efficiency. IBM claims that this new sub-1nm chip can pack nearly 100 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail. This offers almost twice the density, up to 50 percent higher performance, or 70 percent better energy efficiency when compared to IBM's 2nm node design announced back in 2021. Also, IBM mentioned that this new architecture can deliver 40 percent SRAM scaling. It is important to consider that this announcement from IBM is a research milestone rather than a near-term process node launch. Back in 2021, IBM unveiled the world’s first 2nm chip design, claiming 50 billion transistors on a fingernail-sized chip and major performance and efficiency gains. Five years later, IBM’s 2nm technology has still not entered mainstream commercial production. That is because IBM is no longer a major commercial chip manufacturer. It sold its chip manufacturing business to GlobalFoundries years ago and has since then focused only on semiconductor research, IP development, and partnerships. To productize its 2-nm chip technology, IBM partnered with Japan’s Rapidus, but it has not resulted in anything shipping at scale. IBM says that its new sub-1nm technology can reach production as early as within the next five years. If that happens, it will likely depend on manufacturing partners, advanced EUV tooling, and years of yield improvements.
    • It's funny when thieves accuse other thieves of stealing. Ai companies just blatantly siphoned all the knowledge of the internet without consent and are now selling it with their service... so excuse me if I find this a bit ironic.
