August 17th is just around the corner and I know we all can't wait to FINALLY get our eyes on Expendables 2. But in the meantime, I thought it would be fun to create an area here at the site where people can create their own dream cast and plot for a potential Expendables 3.
I know we all want 30 of our favourite stars in a movie but that's just not realistically going to happen. I think it would be more fun to create a realistic cast. So I've set the guide lines as this:
Have a main cast list of up to 10 actors and up to 5 cameo appearances. Describe the character each actor plays briefly.
For your plot, please describe it in two paragraphs or less. You don't have to give every last detail. Use my example below as your official guideline and share with the world your dream cast and plot for Expendables 3!!
PATRICK'S EXPENDABLES 3:
PLOT: One Million U.S. Dollars. That was the price put on the head of each of The Expendables. Hired and sent into Colombia on a bogus mission to locate and retrieve a major drug lord who recently escaped from prison, Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) find a trap set and waiting for them. Marcus Roman (Steven Seagal) and his army of ruthless assassins attack with brutal efficiency and without mercy. Toll Road and Hale Caesar go out in a blaze of glory while a hopelessly surrounded Gunnar Jensen draws a crowd and ignites an explosion that kills him and a dozen assassins around him. Barney Ross is chased to the edge of a cliff and dives off into a river below as gunfire rips into the water all around him. The only member to escape, Lee Christmas watches on as no body rises up from beneath the water of the river.
Six Months Later........
Lee Christmas waits in a bar in Mexico City as his contact Miguel Fuentes (Antonio Banderas) arrives with a package containing the names and locations of all the men who ruthlessly murdered his team. Christmas desperately wants to exact revenge but he knows he can't do it alone. He tells Miguel to spread the word of a meeting to take place in 48 hours. The purpose of the meeting? The Expendables are being reinstated with new recruits. Carter "The Bull" Burdett (Dwayne Johnson), Jack Thorne (Kiefer Sutherland), Chen Wu (Jackie Chan) and Eve Carver (Gina Carano) are recruited and together with Christmas and Fuentes they begin their search to track down and kill Marcus Roman and his team. But they soon learn there is far more going on then they realize and the true motives of the man who originally placed the price on the heads of The Expendables are revealed. In a race to stop an unthinkable plot, old friends and enemies will re-emerge to fight an epic battle to the death.
