--Sylvester Stallone has opened up on the secret scene in "The Expendables" featuring himself, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and my greatest dreams come to life. According to the actor, Willis plays the man who hires Stallone and his titular team for "a death-defying mission," but there's another operative that could take on the job — none other than Stallone's longtime rival, played by Schwarzenegger. "I talked about this scene with these guys for a long time, but I never thought it would come to fruition," said Stallone. (PopWatch)
--NBC is going from "Heroes" to "Zeroes" in an all-new television project from "Crank" duo Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. Titled "Zeroes," the one-hour NBC project will focus on a crisis situation's final hour. "We want to drop right into it and sustain the absolute most berserk state of crisis, when all of the options have been exhausted," said Taylor. (THR) Read more...

The long anticipated "24” movie that Kiefer Sutherland is locked in for and Elisha Cuthbert "would love to be in" may get off the ground yet, and if the blockbuster TV series' star is to be believed, it may require a European vacation to film. The suspense-soaked action show will have to rethink its real-time hour-per-episode hook for the big-screen transition, but they may just be able to fast forward through 21 hours and chalk it up to Jack Bauer's jet-lag-induced nap if he has to hop continents for the story.
"It's something that we've always talked about because I think the fantastic thing about Europe, for something like '24,' is that it's very feasible to get from Prague to London in the course of a day," Sutherland told Digital Spy. Read more...
While most actresses aren't drawn to anxiety-ridden film roles, sex-kitten starlet Elisha Cuthbert has often seemed to prefer it that way. Now, the face of the torture flick "Captivity" and on-again, off-again "24” sidekick is ready for something different...but still won't rule out a Bauer family reunion.
"I don't like to play characters that are one note, and just the attractive girl in the film," Cuthbert told us recently. "That's why I'm drawn to these very high suspense films, like '24’ and 'House of Wax' and now ['Captivity']." Amidst all these thrillers, Cuthbert has been searching for a role that doesn't have her playing the mundane object of someone's affection - and with her recently-wrapped flick, she claims, she found it.

Last April, we broke the news about a "24” movie, but since then the project has seen little movement aside from shuffling dates. Now it appears that 2009 may be the magic number, as that year marks the end of Fox's current commitment to the television series under its recently renewed contract.
For a status check, we caught up with D.B. Woodside, the actor who portrays President Wayne Palmer. "I think they're talking about doing the movie when they're done with the television series," he told us. "I think they have one or two more years for TV, and then they'll start up with the movies."
That statement raises two questions: First, is this confirmation that the show indeed has only two years remaining in its life, and no additional seasons are planned? And secondly, was "movies" a slip of the tongue or should fans expect multiple theatrical episodes of Jack Bauer's manic life? For his part, count Woodside in. "It's '24,' of course I would [like to be in the movie]. It's a great show and it's been a fun ride for me."
Are you looking forward to Jack on the bigscreen? Chime in below.
