Expendables 3 has had its fair share of news already. Between normal casting updates and then the Bruce Willis “Million Dollars a Day” drama, you wouldn’t guess that the film is just now getting filming underway. But they have and thankfully we get a chance to see Sylvester Stallone arrive on the Bulgarian set. Click through the jump to see the crew of Expendables 3 behind the scenes. Expendables 3 is scheduled to hit theaters next August.
Dog the Bounty Hunter, or Duane Chapman, is reportedly going after Edward Snowden … even if that means illegally trying to capture him in Russia. “Sometimes you gotta bend the rules to save America,” Dog is quoted as saying. “And if I can catch this traitor Snowden and bring him back to God’s side, then it will be well worth the risk of a lifetime of hard labor in a Siberian gulag.” Sure thing. Dog is apparently not alone in his dogged pursuit. Reports say several bounty hunters are willing to risk their freedom to capture and return the “fugitive” NSA whistleblower , who sought asylum in Russia. None more high profile than Chapman, however. According to reports, he stated, “Every Dog has it’s day, but Snowden, your days are numbered. Me and Beth are gonna catch you and bring ya to justice.” “We’re gonna do it the American way. If you’re listening right now slick Eddy, the Dog’s comin’ for ya. You can run, but you can’t hide.” “The Dog has picked up your trail.” Dog and his wife Beth Chapman are said to be headed to Hong Kong first in an effort to sniff out possible clues in Snowden’s old hotel room there. This story may or may not be fake , as its sources are questionable and it has already sparked several denials … but even so, it’s a hilarious concept.
In case you haven’t heard, the newest X-Men movie is set in the 70s. Of course with this new X-Men: Days of Future Past photo , that isn’t hard to figure out. Nicolas Hoult as Hank McCoy, James McAvoy as Charles Xavier, and of course, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine all looking rather dashing in this newest X-Men: Days of Future Past photo. Directed by Bryan Singer, the newest X-Men also stars Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Halle Berry, Anna Pacquin, and Peter Dinklage. Filming has wrapped up and the film is scheduled to hit theaters on May 23rd.
This Spike Lee joint is a must listen! Spike Lee Makes An Appearance On The Combat Jack Show Via TheCombatJackShow Spike Lee talks about the controversy behind his Kickstarter campaign, the ills of gentrification in his beloved Brooklyn, his relationship with Mike Tyson, why Halle Berry is the actor he’s most proud of putting on, why he still hasn’t seen ‘Django Unchained’, his instrumental role in making Jordans the hottest sneaker ever made, what ever happened to Matty Rich, why Michael Jordan now wears mom jeans, how his movies (like his upcoming ‘Old Boy’) is getting bloodier, and a whole lot of other ish. It’s easy to take this man for granted, but looking at the impact he’s had on our culture, we gotta do the right thing and give Mars Blackmon his props. LMAO @ “mom jeans” Great episode guys!

If you aren’t of a certain age, it is possible you don’t remember the Beltway Snipers. For those of us who do remember, it’s hard to believe that it has reached the point of almost “forgotten history”. John Allen Mohammad and Lee Boyd Malvo held the D.C. area in their murderous hands as they terrorized the region with random sniper shootings. In the end they killed ten people and injured an additional three. Alexandre Moors has taken the story and put it on the big screen. Isaiah Washington takes on the role of Mohammad while Everybody Hates Chris ‘ Tequan Richmond plays Malvo. Check out the Blue Caprice trailer below and click through the jump to see the Blue Caprice poster. Blue Caprice Trailer Much like the Captain Phillips trailer from last week, this trailer puts you almost immediately on edge. It isn’t because of tense action like the Tom Hanks movie, but rather an ominous feeling of dread. We know how it ends, and it isn’t pretty. Blue Caprice arrives in theaters on September 13th and will be available OnDemand on September 17th.
Waste not. Want now. That was the theme on this week’s Chopped, as the contestants were given ingredients that the average, untrained chef might throw away. But the expert? The aspiring Chopped champion? He or she would be forced to make an appetizer, an entree and a dessert out of them. There were overripe tomatoes and fish carcasses for the first round; Parmesan cheese rind and meat trimmings for the second; and squeezed orange halves coffee grinds for the final. Disgusting or inspiring? Read this official, detailed Chopped review to learn how the competitors put these items to the oven and stove-based test!
We know he can play the flute. And woo women. And guzzle milk like a champ. But who knew Ron Burgundy could write?!? The beloved newscaster has announced that he will release a memoir in anticipation of Anchorman 2 . It will be titled “Let Me Off at the Top!: My Classy Life and Other Musings” and it will hit book shelves on November 19. Teased Burgundy in a press release: “I don’t know if it’s the greatest autobiography ever written. I’m too close to the work. I will tell you this much: the first time I sat down and read this thing…I cried like a goddamn baby, and you can take that to the bank!” To paraphrase one of our favorite Anchorman quotes , we’d rather take it to a glass case of emotion. Maybe while eating a wheel of cheese.
We’ve reached the point in which not a day goes by where we don’t speculate on who might be the next Batman. Or, like yesterday, look at rumors for Lex Luthor . The name today? Well it’s none other than Legolas, Orlando Bloom! British tabloid, The Daily Express, is reporting that Orlando Bloom is the “hot favorite” to play the Caped Crusader. This statement would come with a bit more heft if 1. It wasn’t a British tabloid and 2. Orlando Bloom wasn’t just the latest in a long list of “hot favorites.” That being said, Bloom is 36 and could conceivably fit the “older” Batman that the Zack Snyder is supposedly wanting. Of course it needs to be mentioned… Andrew Garfield is a British Spider-Man, Henry Cavill is a British Superman, Hugh Jackman is an Australian Wolverine. Would it kill Hollywood to find a Batman on this side of the water? Christian Bale was a great Batman , there is no denying that, but let’s go ahead and make the next “World’s Greatest Detective” American. Is that too much to ask?
British model Cara Delevingne, who has walked in countless runway shows and fronted top-tier fashion brands, is reportedly hoping to transition into acting. In the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. According to reports, Delevingne auditioned for the prized role of Anastasia Steele in the erotic film trilogy based on the hit novel written by E.L. James. The movie will be directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, who just happens to good friends with the young star, 20, so perhaps she has the inside track? It’s unclear, but Cara were to land the role in the film, it would catapult her into another level of fame, and prove that her acting chops match her looks. What do you think? Should Cara play Ana? Yes! She’d be great … Maybe. I’m not sure about her. No way. Can’t see her as Ana at all. View Poll »
Mel Gibson is set to make an explosive movie comeback. The mostly hated upon actor will star in The Expendables 3 as that action film’s main villain, writer/producer Sylvester Stallone confirmed today. The announcement comes on the heels of a few other headlines related to the surefire blockbuster: Bruce Willis reportedly balked at a mere $3 million for a few days of work. He insisted on $4 million… and was axed from the franchise. But Harrison Ford is now on board! Antonio Banderas will also appear in The Expendables 3 , with Stallone referring to his former Assassins co-star as “a consummate actor and a gentleman” in a statement. We’ll take that as a veiled shot at Willis.
