3 More Weeks...

EX3 will start filming in exactly 3 weeks on Aug 19 in Port of Varna which is the largest seaport complex in Bulgaria located on the Black Sea's west coast. The cast should arrive in Bulgaria sometime in the week of Aug 12 to start shooting the following Monday. They will spend a few days in Varna filming scenes in the port facilities and surrounding buildings before moving to other parts of Bulgaria and Studio Nu Boyana in Sophia where they will be shooting for a total of 10 weeks. According to one of our sources filming in LA and China seems to be off the table or at least no further confirmation has been communicated.

As for the cast, the mystery persists or almost. Although there is no solid confirmation of Gibson, Li & Seagal, EX3 will still line up one of the most impressive casts of action figures that will include Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Willis, Lundgren, Chan, Snipes & Statham. Fans should rest assured that this chapter will deliver the right dose of action from their favorite stars of the past and present.

So relax and be patient...

A recent Bulgarian news article wrote the following, you can click here to see the article directly if you understand the language, or look below for a rough translation.​
"Champion free martial arts Rhonda Rosie joined at the last moment to star team of "Expendables 3." No one knows what will be the role of the Olympic medalist in judo in 2008, but said in an interview before his fans worried that they will not be abandoned and Bulgaria will train hard when it's not busy filming. She arrived here with his entire team trainers and doctors. Rosie are a hard match on December 28 - has to defend the belt of champion martial arts available in the "cock". Most likely the film will participate and Kellan Lutz - the vampire from "Twilight", who spent a month in Bulgaria while filming the lead role in the Hollywood production "Hercules."
As usual, about 'Expendables 3 "haunting mystery. Do not even know exactly when start filming. It is known that the first day of shooting is set for the second half of August. The team first arrives Sylvester Stallone, any ideologue and writer of the series.
Sly has now decided to outdo himself. The third part will be even bloodier, more extensive, with more equipment - helicopters, beteeri, police cars, boats. And with more stars. 19 famous actors have been involved so far in "Expendables 3." At least 13 of them are superstars - the most famous actors of the twentieth century.
Bruce Willis, Mel Gibson, Steven Seagal, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Jackie Chan, Nicolas Cage, Wesley Snipes, Milla Jovovich, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mickey Rourke and Jet Lee will start arriving after 12th.
And one more piece of information - the first shots of the "Expendables 3" will be the Varna port. It is not clear whether the staff will be included retired our submarines."

Rousey's Role in EX3 Revealed!

http://exflix.blogspot.dk/2013/08/rouseys-role-in-ex3-revealed.html

MMAjunkie.com claims to have obtained a working draft of EX3's script and Rousey will play one of the "Young Expendables"!
Rousey plays Luna, an "athletic female bartender" in her 20s who joins up with the "Old Expendables" to battle one of their own. Luna is quick with words and handy in a fight.

In all, Rousey will appear in over 20 scenes and has 35 lines of dialogue and much of her job involves driving, flying, and shooting things.

MMAjunkie.com further reports that the script is a working draft – penned by husband-and-wife writing team Creighton Rothenberger and Katrin Benedikt, who wrote the recent action thriller "Olympus Has Fallen" – and is likely to be modified both before and during filming.

Rousey further said: "I'm leaving soon, and I'm very fortunate that there's going to be Victor Ortiz and Randy Couture and other fighter-type people there, and I'm going to be able to have my camp come and do everything, so I'm not going to break training for it at all".

When the promotional tour wraps later this month, Rousey reportedly will fly to Bulgaria to begin filming. She joins Stallone, Couture, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Arnold Schwarzenegger and a bevy of other action stars.

Although tight-lipped about her role, Rousey said on Tuesday: "I'm probably going to play a kickass chick."

The Dirty Dozen & A Half

A few days ago the Bulgarian news agency 24chasa reported more updates on EX3. Most of what they reported such as Rousey taking her training staff to Bulgaria & the arrival date of the cast was already known and reported by us and others. But one piece of their news that drew attention was the allegedly 19 actors who have signed on for EX3, 13 of which would be famous.

Although 24chasa is one of the reliable Bulgarian sources they don't always get it right, so believe what they say at your own risk. We used them a few times 2 years ago when EX2 was filmimg, specially for on-set pictures. They seem for the most part to get the scoop before others in Bulgaria. But remember when they reported Cage & Travolta to be in the second installment of the Expendables based on statements made by the CEO of Nu Boyana, and the rest is history...

All.jpg



So 19 actors they claim ha? Shall we do the math to find out if the numbers make sense:
Let's assume the following cast is more or less confirmed and keep in mind that Stallone confirmed 5 (less known) new guys
1-Stallone - Famous #1
2-Schwarzenegger - Famous #2
3-Willis - Famous #3
4-Lundgren - Famous #4
5-Statham - Famous #5
6-Couture
7-Rourke - Famous #6
8-Chan - Famous #7
9-Snipes - Famous #8
10-Gibson - Famous #9
11-Jovovich - Famous #10
12-Rousey - New Gal #1
13-Ortiz - New Guy #2
14-Lutz - New Guy #3

The following is yet to be confirmed

15-Cage - Famous #11
16-Seagal - Famous #12
17-Li - Famous #13
18-Crews
19-New Guy #4 (The Raid?)
20-New Guy #5 (The Raid?) There is one too many! I let you guess who...

Disgruntled fan!
No he's talking about Willis. Willis does just about anything these days, if they pay him enough, and most of the time he half asses it. It's becoming really annoying as a fan.
Apparently Willis was due for 4 days of shooting and wanted a million dollars a day. He had been offered 3 million dollars. 3 million dollars for 4 days of shooting and that wasn't enough.

Hopefully Seagal takes heed of this IF he's still in negotiation.

I love that Harrison Ford is involved now. That's awesome.

Willis Dropped Out Over $1M Extra!
http://exflix.blogspot.dk/2013/08/willis-dropped-out-over-1m-extra.html

A source with knowledge of the situation says Willis dropping out of EX3 was due to extra money demand. Willis was offered $3 million for four days of consecutive work on location in Bulgaria for the film. "He said he'd drop out unless he got $4 million," this source close to the production says. "A million dollars a day. Stallone and everybody else involved said no."
Stallone then quickly reached out to Ford, who was game to join the Expendables cast.
The insider adds, "I think [Willis] was pretty surprised he was replaced in 72 hours by Harrison Ford— a better actor, a much nicer person and a more interesting direction for the film."
Willis' reps at CAA declined to comment.
Maybe because I'm not in Willis's shoes I'm not understanding but letting a long term friend like Stallone down over $1M doesn't make sense for someone who's extremely loaded, what a loss...
