If I had a magic button that could whisk me off to any location in the world in a split second, then that button would be programmed to transport me to Toronto, as that is the place to be film-wise at present as indeed this year’s TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) is currently taking place.
One such outlet that is out there at the moment is Collider, who scored this massive exclusive with Jason Statham, in town to discuss his next project KILLER ELITE, which is released here in the UK later this month.
The guys caught up with the Stath and the conversation turned to that other action movie in the works for the hardman, something called THE EXPENDABLES 2. It seems that the start of the shoot is closer than we think!
Yeah they start in two weeks time. Literally, I’m gonna go from one – I’m making a movie with Taylor Hackford in New Orleans called Parker, I’m going straight from there to Bulgaria. That’s where we’re at, Expendables 2 Bulgaria.
Statham did refuse to confirm or indeed deny as to who else is in the movie. We’ve heard rumblings of the involvement of Jean Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris over the past week or so, none of whom are confirmed as of yet.
THE EXPENDABLES 2 is set for a US release on August 17, 2012. Simon West will direct.
