The "Female Expendables" film has landed a new recruit. Variety is reporting that Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica, Riddick) has joined Gina Carano (Haywire) as part of the cast.
FROM VARIETY
"Battlestar Galactica" veteran Katee Sackhoff is gearing up for another action-packed battle and this time it'll be on the bigscreen, as she's agreed to join former MMA fighter Gina Carano in an all-female riff on "The Expendables" that 1984 Private Defense Contractors is producing. Adi Shankar will produce for 1984 Private Defense Contractors, which plans to fully finance the "Expendables"-inspired project.
Dutch Southern ("Hoof Harrington's Greatest Hits") was tapped to write the estrogen-powered action pic back in August, and several prominent actresses affiliated with the action genre continue to circle the project.
"If you spend five minutes with Katee it becomes blatantly obvious that she would pwn (sic) most male action stars," said Shankar, who recently co-produced Joe Carnahan's "The Grey," Pete Travis' "Dredd 3D" and Andrew Dominik's upcoming Brad Pitt starrer "Killing Them Softly," which The Weinstein Company will release Nov. 30.

I'm still not sold on a Female Expendables film yet. Gina Carano and Katee Sackhoff represent solid 'supporting cast' but they will not sell this film. It's going to take someone like Angelina Jolie to get this film taken seriously. If they can't land any big names for it, they might as well quit before they even start because it will just bomb horribly. That's my take anyway.
