The cast of Expendables 3 has a real Cannes-do attitude when it comes to promoting the next flick in the ballsy series. In a parade of tanks and action heroes, The Expendables gang arrived in Cannes to promote the film and to participate in a press conference held at the Carlton Hotel in France. The third film which is due out on August 15th, will be rated PG-13 but that doesn't mean it will be watered-down. The last Expendables film wasn't really that extremely violent so chances are, it will be like one less death and perhaps one less F-bomb. Although we'd prefer an R rating, it's really not a big deal as long as the story is great, villains are blown away and Arnold and the others serve up some heavy machismo with brutal justice. So don't be a PG-13 choir boy cry baby. Stop whining about banning the movie. That just makes you lousy fan. Even if you don't agree with Stallone and the producers of EX3, it is important that you support your action hero's films. Also, we'll probably get an uncut version on Blu-ray so it's all good!
Arnold’s co-star and the protagonist of the “Expendables” series Sylvester Stallone said of the decision: “We want to reach as many people as possible. It’s very close to an R, believe me, it’s right there. But I think we owe it to the next generation. We thought we’d join that club for a while.”
SYNOPSIS
In THE EXPENDABLES 3, Barney (Stallone), Christmas (Statham) and the rest of the team come face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill… or so he thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables -- but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables’ most personal battle yet.
THE EXPENDABLES 3 stars Arnold Schwarzenegger (Trench), Sylvester Stallone (Barney Ross), Jason Statham (Lee Christmas), Antonio Banderas (Galgo), Wesley Snipes (Doc), Dolph Lundgren (Gunnar Jensen), Kelsey Grammer (Bonaparte), Randy Couture (Toll Road), Kellan Lutz (John Smilee), Ronda Rousey (Luna), Glen Powell (Thorn), Victor Ortiz (Mars), with Mel Gibson (Conrad Stonebanks) and Harrison Ford (Drummer).
