This news comes from a movie news email service that Yahoo provides. I haven't been able to find an article or source yet on Yahoo. If anyone can find anything please let me know! This news looks legitimate but like I said as of now I have nothing to back it up. Should it be true its very exciting and something I really hope Sylvester Stallone and company considers.

John Woo Talks Expendables Sequels


He's Open to Directing! I can't imagine how awesome an Expendables III would look like with John Woo behind the lens. The man is a legend. We got an exclusive from our associate who personally knows Woo and he took that chance to ask Woo about "The Expendables" franchise. The man writes :

Que : I've just seen The Expendables II and would like to know if you have seen it and your opinion about the film?

Woo : It was very big in China and all over the news. It was a great movie. I saw it with my family. We all love the action. Van Damme made a believable villain.

Que : Yes Van Damme, he worked with you before in....?

Woo : Hard Target Yes. and we are planning to work again real soon. He has a residence here in China so sometimes we catch up with things. Van Damme is very big in China.

Que : I look forward to that and also there is some news on the Internet about fans lobbying you to direct Expendables III if it happens. Will you do it?

Woo : (Laughs) I read that. I am a big fan of all those guys and I will do it but I want less studio and producer interference. I want to shoot the movie the way I want. That's the difference making a movie in China and Hollywood. In China, The Studio and producer allow flexibility to the director. One thing for sure is, I want it to take place in China. I also have a vision of this big fight between Jet Li and Van Damme but then they have killed him off.

my 2 favorite movies in the world are :

Terminator 2

Hard Target (directed by John Woo) the most badass cool and entertaining movie

I don't understand all the hype around Woo. He's a master of action movies in his homeland for one good reason as he said it himself: he's free to do what he wants.

Look at his record of US movies: only Face/Off is a good movie, Hard Target & Broken Arrow average, the rest (Paycheck, Windtalkers, MI2), forget it. MI2 is probably the worst of the series under Woo and mainly because he didn't have all the freedom with Cruise on his back.

Woo behind EX3, not a good idea, Lerner, Sly & Co won't let him exercise his art and the result will be a basted movie worse than EX2.

Sly will never give full control to John Woo. Who wants tons of flying doves and non-stop slo-mo?

You never know. With the success that TE2 had in Asia, I think Sly and the head honchos will be more pliable to John Woo's demands than you might think.

Woo is definitely one of the best available options, everybody seems to love Face/Off, so I don't have to talk about that one. MI2 actually was the best MI IMHB although I recently learnt that it's directed by Woo. Paycheck is just amazing and very mysterious, a lot of twists in an action flick which makes it different in a good way. Finally Broken Arrow, off course Travolta's outstanding performance was the main subject in that film, but you still can feel the awesomeness of Woo in every scene,, this movie had too many amazing scenes.

I am totally agreeing that John is the right person to direct EX3
But I think think Isaac Florantine should be concedred

Yes Surely John Woo must be return for EX3! We know he is high great direct in Action movie than others. He is creating very style action screenplay. We would love him-thanks! If he will be in EX3, it will be very good movie than EX1, EX2. We want to EX3 in Sly, Arnie, Willis, Dolph, JCVD and others force men etc.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all fans of THE EXPENDABLES! Just on New Year's Eve I was on a bus with a friend, on our way to the party and we were discussing the possibilities for EX III. I for one will ALWAYS have great respect and admiration for Mr. John Woo. He injected fresh new life into the action genre and his influence is still clearly seen in so many action films today. If Sly were to allow Mr. Woo to direct the third (and final?!) film of the franchise... oh man... the flying doves, the slow motion shots, the 'mexican stand offs'... Yep, I'd love to see the ol' trademarks again - much as I enjoyed RED CLIFF, I loved HARD TARGET and FACE/OFF even more! Also, Nic Cage & Jackie Chan. That'd be all Folks!

I think the real big news is Van Damme & Woo teaming up again Hard Target was unreal, maybe Hard Target 2 Harder Target. Would love to see Van Damme Vs Lee too maybe Woo can bring back Van Damme to make it happen.

Stallone has huge influence on the franchise and it's direction, he wouldn't give that all away for some director. And no disrespect, but China? No thanks.
