Hehehehehehe. I'm giddy like a school girl at the news of this.
I just may have to lift my ban on going to see movies in the
theater just for this. I had no idea that this was even in the
works.

[center]'The Expendables' To Get Female Spinoff Called 'The
ExpendaBelles'

Now I just found out that there are actually 2 competing films
with the same idea. One from the producer of The Expendables and
one from another producer with no association with the
franchise. Although the idea of 2 would seem like a win-win, I
actually don't like that idea because it will water down each
one in the talent pool. I rather the A-Lister stick with the
official franchise. People like Sigourney Weaver and Linda
Hamilton, Uma Thurman, etc....belong in the official release.

There's a big kerfuffle about one of the plot elements of the
story,
HTML http://www.bleedingcool.com/2014/02/06/exclusive-more-plot-details-for-the-expendabelles-robert-luketic-to-direct/<br
/>and I have to say that I'm not a fan of the idea on the surfac
e.
You just know that it wouldn't even be a suggestion with the
guys. Now, maybe it's a thing where it's the best idea that
they came up with and found a way to make it work, but it sounds
like a cheap go-to and just demeaning. And it's really saying
something for ME to say that.

The 'High Class Call Girls' angle is a joke. At least I hope it
is. They (the Studio) can't think that they are going to get Big
Name actresses to sign on for something so shallow are they.
Really? That the BEST you can come up with? Mark my words, if
they actually go forward with this plot, it won't surprise me
one bit that the "biggest" name you will find attached to this
movie would be someone "famous" from a Reality TV show.

I think... the problem is that you have to play this to people's
expectations and assumptions (despite what they say about what
happens when you assume), and the assumption is that this would
be JUST like the male Expendables. And this is something that
would NEVER fly in the male Expendables. "Oh, those guys with
the squinty eyes, the big muscles and the tattoos? Total s l u
t s." Yeah, no one would buy it. And that's why you don't put
it in this movie.
I feel like a bit of a hypocrite b/c normally I don't have a
problem when this idea is used, you see it on Dollhouse and
probably a bunch of other episodic shows, it's a ratings grabber
thing. But here it just seems even more cheap and pointless.
And I gotta ask, who's sending a plane-load of high class
hookers to a remote dictatorship? Who the hell set that up?
What WORLD does this take place in?

I'm beginning to think this spin-off is already DOA. If they
can't secure A-List talent, they are going to rely on C-Lister's
and you know how that's gonna fare.

I think for this to have had any chance of working, they needed
to set up Weaver (or whoever would have been carrying the
Expendabelles) in TE3. You can't expect the average film-goer to
know what is what if there isn't some groundwork being pit down.
It would make for a cool transition. Anyway, it doesn't seem to
matter anymore given the poor performance of TE3.
