Stallone Casting “Ugly Guys” For Film
By Wyatt Earp | November 10, 2008
It’s my answered prayers!
See ya later, blog readers! Thanks for everything, but this may be my big break into the motion picture industry!
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Don’t look for any pretty boys in Sylvester Stallone’s next action movie. Or for too much blood, either.
The actor said he is currently writing the script for “The Expendables,” in which he will star with Jason Statham and Jet Li. He will also direct the movie, which will start shooting early next year in Costa Rica and Louisiana.
They will play rag-tag mercenaries on an undercover mission to depose a Latin American dictator. Stallone hopes to land Forest Whitaker for the role of a devious CIA agent involved in the operation.
“Whereas the ‘Oceans 11′ films were an ensemble for good looking guys, this is an ensemble for ugly tough guys,” he told buyers at the American Film Market in Santa Monica during the weekend. (H/T – Reuters)
Sly, baby, if you want ugly, I am your guy! Hell, I am ugly personified! Call me, we’ll do lunch . . . better bring a paper bag.

Face too regular, see smile lines not pinched tight lipped frowns and squinty beaded focused death dealing eyes…
keep your day job.
You are so silly!
Dude, you missed two key words here: Costa Rica and Louisiana…humidity…your tough-guy image will suffer once that hits.
Wyatt, you got the ‘snake’ eyes going there.. a sort of, “Go ahead, make my day” squint. I say you fit the part!
I love Statham – especially when he takes his shirt off.
Earl – Damn.
KVegas911 – Thanks. (I think.)
RT – Yeah, I am not a big fan of humidity and big, gnarly bugs.
TBB – I wish it were a “tough” look. The sun was in my eyes. Heh.
I’ve seen prettier Tessarrian Blisterhogs!
(In case you didn’t notice, I just burned you royally!)
:p
I hope Sly is in the movie. He qualifies hands-down.
Hate to say it, but you don’t qualify as ugly. Want me to go edit that photo a bit?
Mox – You bastard.
Doghouse – With that nose? Absolutely.
E.L. – You’re drunk, lady!
Heh, stone cold sober, don’t drink, still looking for a suitable replacement. And the last suggestion was taken under advisement
Still doesn’t change the fact that you aren’t ugly though, sorry to burst ya bubble.
Yikes!
