Nope, sorry no trailers yet, but I figured I’d let everyone know of a couple of big movies being filmed right now that contain Ocean’s 11-type casts. Hopefully they won’t be Steven Soderbergh-type crap fests.
First up, Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood. Apparently someone in Hollywood forgot who Kevin Costner is (I don’t blame them) and green lit yet another Robin Hood flick. But instead of the Bodyguard splitting arrows with Morgan Freeman at his side, we’ll be treated with an all star cast consisting of Russel Crowe as Robin Hood and Cate Blanchet as Maid Marian. Throw in William Hurt and Alan Doyle and you’ve got a lot of high-paid Men in Tights. Check the first released image from the set of Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood below.
Next up, has anyone heard of this project called The Expendables? Probably not and its probably because it’s been kept under wraps for a while now. The Expendables looks to be an action explosion as the brief early synopsis states that, “a group of mercenaries head to South America to overthrow a dictator.” Sounds like an episode of the A-team to be honest, and the the cast consists of some A-list action stars. Headlined by Rocky himself, Sly Stallone, The Expendables carries the big names of Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Brittany Murphy, Jet Li, Eric Roberts, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Dolf Lundgren. Check below for one of the first released images of The Expendables.
Both films are looking at a 2010 release, but it’s nice to get an ear to the ground on this stuff early so we can plan our movie schedules.

I love Aziz Ansari’s tweet from late last night. Picture below. He’s the guy on Parks and Recreation.
