14 DAY TRIAL // Some of you people out there might have not yet seen the latest “Expendables” movie which is still showing in cinemas across the world, but surely you must know it has become one of the biggest action film franchises in Hollywood. This time around, Sylvester Stallone managed to bring even more action stars, such as Wesley Snipes, Antonio Banderas and Harrison Ford.
Speaking to DigitalSpy, Terry Crews, one of the actors that's been part of the franchise since the first movie, has pointed out that he doesn't see “Fast & Furious” as a contender at the box office in the action film genre, but he does see it as a possibility for a “mash-up.”
“I think it's totally possible – there's no reason why we can't do that,” said Crews who plays Hale Caesar in the movies. He was so excited about the project, that he even theorized that “The A Team” cast could join in the project to make it that much bigger.
Crews proposes to move the same Expendables treatment which was Stallone pick up every name in the action film genre and put them all together in a single movie, to franchises, mashing them up together to create new universes.
It seems that “The Expendables” has set many creative juices around Hollywood flowing, because last week there was even talk of doing a female version of the movie. Stars from the film that just opened in cinemas were asked about the possibility, and they all confessed to be thrilled by the idea and even had some actresses they wanted to see appear in the movie.
The names of Angelina Jolie and Sigourney Weaver were the first to pop up, but it only made way for more names in the business to be connected with the project. Even Stallone, the man who first thought up “The Expendables,” expressed interest in the idea during the press conference.
Many of you will be intrigued by the prospect of two big action movie franchises crossing their paths and some of you might even be excited. As “The Expendables 3” was deemed “one last ride” by Stallone, thoughts are now turning towards a possible sequel, seeing as how the third part managed to attract so much attention.
Viewed from this angle, a collaboration between the stars of “The Expendables” and “Fast & Furious” is not so outlandish. All this needs is a good script and a good director, because the cast is already there.
We're curious, would you watch an “Expendables” and “Fast & Furious” mash-up?
