'The Expendables' Sequel: Casting Arnold Schwarzenegger's Team!

Posted 8/16/10 12:09 pm EST by in Commentary, Poll


Believe it or not, there's still plenty of fight left in the old dog known as Sylvester Stallone, as seen by the success of "The Expendables," the actor, writer and director's 1980s action cinema throwback that secured box office gold this past weekend. With victory in mind, it's clear that Stallone and the studio executives at Lionsgate are already thinking about sequel possibilities. But really, there's only one sequel idea that makes any kind of sense: expanding on the team led by Trench, Stallone's mercenary rival played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in an all-too-brief cameo role.

It's the perfect comeback movie for Schwarzenegger, and it opens up all sorts of doors for further casting excellence. After the jump, we've got a few suggestions for who could saddle up alongside Trench as part of the "Expendables" sequel's new team! Read More...

'Machete' Star Steven Seagal Is Not An Actor, He's A Lawman, Jessica Alba Says

Posted 2/9/10 2:30 pm EST by in Video


Jessica Alba is one among an ensemble of talented performers who will make the hearts of couples go pitter-patter this weekend when "Valentine's Day" arrives in theaters. But Alba is also committed to another ensembled cast, a bloodier one, for the Robert Rodriguez-directed "Grindhouse" spin-off, "Machete."

That ensemble includes Steven Seagal, the "Lawman" star who really needs no introduction. If you haven't seen "Under Siege," you're missing out. Anyway, during a recent interview with Alba, MTV's Josh Horowitz asked her to comment on her burly co-star.

His exact words were, "What's Steven Seagal like to work with?" The query was followed by an uncertain smile, a brief darting of the eyes and an extended pause. "He's Steven Seagal," she replied, clearly hesitant to go further. Read More...

Danny Trejo Makes A 'Machete' Appeal To MTV In Vintage Vids

Posted 8/6/09 12:30 pm EST by in Video, Vintage Vids


This video just goes to show you: when Danny Trejo asks for action, Danny Trejo gets action. Does that look like a man you want to eff with? I didn't think so. And now that Trejo will be joined in "Machete" by the oddball supporting cast of Robert De Niro, Lindsay Lohan, Steven Seagal, Don Johnson, Cheech Marin, Jeff Fahey ("Lawnmower Man"!!!!) and Jessica Alba, everyone on the planet has to see it. It's a requirement. Seriously. I think the world might explode if we don't.

Posted 12/8/08 12:29 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Video


It's been one hell of a year, folks. If you'd talked to me twelve months ago and said there wouldn't be room in our Bizarre Moments of '08 video for the time Steve Carell grabbed my ass, well I'd have called you crazy. But it's true. We combed through our stacks of tape and found ten truly insane incidents that beat that charming moment of sexual harassment.

The below video has it all. Val Kilmer talking dwarf sex on the set of "Willow"? Check. Steven Seagal hawking energy drinks? Yup. Rainn Wilson making fun of my sweater? Don't remind me. Here's to an even loonier '09! Enjoy.

Eric Bogosian Briefly Considers Re-Teaming With Nemesis Steven Seagal For 'Under Siege 3’

Posted 11/3/08 1:07 pm EST by in News


Eric Bogosian in 'Under Siege 2: Dark Territory'Steven Seagal recently told MTV News that he's been looking at offers for a third installment of his "Under Siege" series, which he would prefer to be more modern, even more sci-fi. If that's the case, could there be a little room for Travis Dane, who's faked his death at least once and perhaps didn't actually die at the end of "Under Siege 2: Dark Territory"?

"He hadn't talked to me about it," Eric Bogosian, who played Dane, told us when we caught up with him at the Directors Guild Honors. "But I had a blast doing it before. It's one of the most fun things I was ever involved with."

According to Bogosian, "people still come up to me in the street" to quote Travis Dane lines back to him, "things from the movie that I don't even remember." Like, "Yeah, I faked my own death and hijacked a passenger train because I care about who you're f---ing!." Or "If you try anything stupid, federal regulations require that I kill you." Read More...

Steven Seagal Looks Towards Outer Space For 'Under Siege 3’

Posted 10/2/08 10:49 am EST by in News, Video


It's been sixteen years since Steven Seagal enjoyed the biggest success of his career with "Under Siege" -- one of the best offerings of the one-man action thrillers that followed "Die Hard" -- and thirteen years since its lackluster sequel "Dark Territory" signaled a slow, steady decent into the world of direct-to-video features.

But now, with the former action heavyweight looking to climb his way back into multiplexes, could a long-awaited "Under Siege" threequel be in the offing? It sure can. "There are offers and we're looking at them," Seagal told MTV News. And he even has some ideas...of a more alien nature.

"I personally want it to be something more modern," said Seagal, giving us his thoughts on potential storylines. But it's one specific angle that will probably have fans intrigued, to say the least. Read More...
