The Director: Stallone has hinted that Bruce Willis may have a meatier role this time around, potentially as the film’s big bad, and who better to direct him than his old Die Hard collaborator John McTiernan? He might not have made a film in the best part of a decade, but The Expendables’ whole credo revolves around reviving things that were great in the ‘80s, so in that respect he’d be the perfect choice!
The Plot: In the wake of a botched mission in which several civilians were killed, Bruce’s shadowy CIA operative attempts to sever all ties with Barney Ross’s crew by sending them into a set-up. However, Ross and friends aren’t so easily disposed of, and are soon on the warpath as they look to get their revenge.
Cast Additions: Signing Willis on for a major role, as opposed to a two-minute cameo, would be all the cast-strengthening they’d need. Make it happen Sly.
Stand-Out Scene: Caught in a fire-fight with Stallone, Bruce ditches the suit and tie in favour of a dirty white vest and an uzi. Yippie-kay-ay!

Why not have Friedberg and Seltzer do it? And have lots and lots and lots of explosions 'accidently' go off under thier trailer?

So basically this list was name every hip or popular director of this generation? Seriously...Aronofsky, Scorsese, Wes Anderson? This isn't really the type of movie they'd make. I think we're grasping at straws with some of these lists lately.

Stopped looking at this article half way through. Seriously you guys must be taking the p**s. Can't you for one minute do a serious article. Past few features on here have been lazy and pointless. What's the point in us reading them if all your doing is messing around. Get of your fat lazy arses and do some proper writing, hacks.

An action thriller by Michael Mann with his ultra-realistic style? Shootout scenes in Public Enemies were awesome (actually, in every Mann movie I've seen). However, it sounds as unreasonable as Scorcese or Lynch directing it. Plus, I think a sequels will be absolete with this one, no?

Aside from this list just being a random collection of contemporary directors, it basically just takes digs at the Expendables. The Expendables went down incredibly well, for the Boxoffice and film fans. Can TF please swallow its pride at getting the cruel 2 star rating utterly wrong and stop taking digs at a film that's otherwise very well recieved.

"Expendables 1" was an amazing! The direction is perfect and timing. Hope that in "Expendables 2" , they would add another cast.... And I would like to greet a Sam Botta a "Happy Birthday and Congratulations on your new show Live Fearless with Sam Botta by Movie Tech Studios" Director Ewing Miles (Lucky) Brown says Sam Botta has lost 70 lbs for this show. Interesting! : )
