However, not everyone linked with the first film ended up being in it. Danny Trejo’s name was banded around when the project was first being talked about, but the actor – who will be headlining another ensemble film we’re looking forward to later this year in the shape of Machete – has been revealing why he’s not involved in Stallone’s movie. Trejo added, “That’s one of Hollywood’s ploys to… how do you say it? They have this huge cast, and then all of a sudden, when it comes time to cast, the people that actually raised the money aren’t in it.” Ouch. It’d still be remiss of us not to post the Japanese trailer for The Expendables that’s been doing the rounds. It’s a masterclass in efficiency, cramming pretty much everything and everyone into 30 seconds. And here it is… The Expendables arrives in August, Machete is out in September.
