POSTERS
Finally High Res Real Poster Art for The Expendables
by Alex Billington

This may not be the very first time you've seen this poster - and that's because Lionsgate has been sending around some fake photos of banners on display at Cannes. The photos show an entire hotel covered with posters for The Expendables, but it's all a bunch of BS. There is not a single actual Expendables banner anywhere on the Croisette, I know that for sure because I'm there. But the poster below is real, and the character posters below that are also real (as far as I know). We've been posting a lot of Expendables content recently, so I'm trying to keep it short this time. I will say this looks pretty good, for now, so check it out.
The Expendables is about a team of mercenaries who head to South America on a mission to overthrow a dictator. It stars Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Terry Crews, and Charisma Carpenter. Stallone both wrote and is directing the film. The film is still in the middle of shooting. You can follow updates on its progress over on the official blog. We'll let you know when we see more from The Expendables, whether it be new photos, new footage, or a new poster (perhaps?) sometime soon. Either way, this should be an exciting production to follow all the way to its finish.

kickass. I can't wait for this mindless action flick. I haven't seen a good one since Punisher Warzone. Time to rack up the body count.

This movie is going to be so legit. With the awesome cast of huge, ass-kicking guys and a mindless plot set up for destruction, what isn't there to love?

Are you sure these are not fakes? The character posters looks terrible. Stallone's poster is made out of a photo from the set of the movie. Statham's poster made out of The Last Legion: http://www.iesb.net/images/stories/contests/Jason_Statham_sword.jpg And Jet Li's poster made out of his movie "The One".

Dolph should have his own poster too.

This movie is going to surprise a lot of people. This is going to be really good. In my opinion Sly is on a role. Rocky & Rambo were great flicks.

I love that poster of Stallone. He's got his signature lower lip darting down his neck - one of the most ridiculous expressions in action movie history.

Its good to see all the postive feedback about this movie. Mindless action flicks are my favorite... But, just wait. The 'Nay Sayers' will posting on how the plot will be thin, terrible acting, etc. What? Did you expect Stallone to make the next Citizen Kane? Come on. Some people just don't know what fun is.

Looking forward a trailer for further judgment.

Yeah, Jet Li's poster DOES look like it's made out of his character from 'The One'. I think these are a bit shady.

Like #10's comment, Stallone's face looks bad in that picture. What's with the Jackie Stallone eyebrows?

Good thing Statham has not been type-cast or anything...
