Sly, Arnie & Bruce film Expendables scene

You may have already read that Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis have been filming their scene together for Sly’s upcoming film The Expendables.

Sly’s publicist Sheryl Main (who seems to spend a lot of time blogging and Tweeting) has Tweeted from the set about the scene and also blogged:

‘’…After Arnold, Bruce and Sly went through the scene a couple of times they all 3 headed off to wardrobe and make-up. at 8:10am with three cameras rolling the biggest action icons of our time went to work. I thought it was electric in Brazil when all of The Expendables stepped on set – but today was atomic!!!! the whole crew was mesmerized as we watched the three of them play off of each other in a pivotal scene that sets up the whole movie. And while I can’t/don’t want to give too much away I can tell you that Arnold’s character is Trench and Bruce is Church, the scene was shot in an empty church without extras and minimal set dec and it has tension and humor – what more can a girl ask for! Sly was in top form as a director today and was in total command. Bruce and Arnold were consummate professionals at all times – we got through the scene quickly without compromise. In 6 hours we did wide shots, close-ups, turned around…the whole nine yards…pretty impressive. Very Clint Eastwood.’’

Avi Lerner believes Millennium films has the next big hit franchise on its hands; “Definitely. We already have got some ideas about ‘Expendables No. 2,’ ‘No. 3,’ Definitely, it’s a franchise movie.”

The film isn’t released until August 2010, so I wouldn’t expect a set pic of the 3 too soon. I imagine they will keep hold of these for publicity nearer the time.
