Lionsgate and Millennium Films announced today that principal photography has commenced on its star-studded sequel The Expendables 3. Production is now underway on location in Bulgaria and at Nu Boyana Studios in Sofia.
Returning cast members include Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet
Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crews and Arnold
Schwarzenegger. New cast members include Wesley Snipes, Antonio
Banderas, Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford, as well as Kellan Lutz, MMA star
Ronda Rousey, welterweight boxing champion Victor Ortiz and Glen
Powell.
Here's the official plot synopsis: "In The Expendables 3, Barney
(Stallone), Christmas (Statham) and the rest of the team comes
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."
Patrick Hughes (Red Hill) is directing, with Dan Bradley (the Bourne
films, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, Quantum of Solace)
directing the second unit. The script was penned by Creighton
Rothenberger & Katrin Benedikt (Olympus Has Fallen) and Sylvester
Stallone.
The Expendables 3 opens August 15, 2014.
