Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Bruce Willis

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and Bruce Willis

Sylvester Stallone has let the cat out of the bag on what that soon-to-be cult status scene from The Expendables featuring Sly Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis will entail. They'll be smack talking each other.

If you didn't already know, The Expendables is about a squad of mercenaries hired to overthrow a South American dictator, but after setting out on their mission they realize they've been left by themselves and must fight not only the dictator, but his army and also the government that set them up.

The scene in question, which takes place in a church with all three actors together for the first time on-screen, was shot last week over a period of 6 hours which, in the end, will translate to around 5 minutes of screen time.

Bruce Willis plays a character that brings in Stallone to size him up for the mission. But as a smack-talk conversation gets going, in walks Schwarzenegger - the second killer-for-hire Willis invited to the meeting.

Arnold Schwarzenegger in 'Commando', Bruce Willis in 'Die Hard', Sylvester Stallone in 'Rambo'

Three of histories greatest action heroes: Arnold Schwarzenegger in 'Commando', Bruce Willis in 'Die Hard', Sylvester Stallone in 'Rambo: First Blood Pt II''

I can't wait for The Expendables, and today's news only serves to add fuel to that fire.

For the first time ever, and in what is arguably one of the most monumental moments in action movie history, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone shared screen time together in a scene for The Expendables.

The scene in question took about six hours to film, and whilst no images have been released as yet, there's a fairly detailed write up courtesy of Maria Lascala on her Ethelmae Blog. She announced the moment via her twitter account: @marialascala.

Unfortunately no details are to hand about what the scene entailed, but even if these guys are just sitting around drinking coffee, that'll do.

All I can think about now is what a douche Jean Claude Van Damme is for turning down a role in the movie that will forever act as THE record of who were the top action stars of our time.  He must feel like a right twat now, although, perhaps he realized he just wasn't up to to the cut.  That's probably it.

I have to say out of all the movies that are coming soon, Stallone's The Expendables has to be the one I'm looking forward to the most.

Apart from the fact that Stallone is the most awesome 63 year old action hero on the planet, the film has a star studded cast of who's who from the action genre.  To even begin to name them is a chore.  You've got Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Danny Trejo - even Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger appear.  But there's many more.

The Expendables follows a team of mercenaries who head to South America on a mission to overthrow a dictator and, judging from the trailer, this film is exactly what's been missing from the action movie scene for a long, long time.

Check out the new extended trailer below.

Unfortunately, we have to wait until August 20, 2010 to see it.

Charisma Carpenter as the Mord’Sith Triana in 'Legend of the Seeker' Season 2

It's less than a month before Legend of the Seeker season 2 kicks off and the first images are beginning to surface.

Check out Charisma Carpenter (above, click to enlarge) who will be playing a Mord'Sith named Triana.  Carpenter is well known from her days as Cordelia Chase in both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, amongst other things.

As far as I'm aware, Carpenter will only be appearing in one episode of Legend of the Seeker - the first one of the second season titled 'Marked'.  After that airs you'll also be able to check her out in Sylvester Stallone's new (and awesome looking) action flick The Expendables, in which she plays someone named Lacy.  The Expendables will be released in August 2010.

Legend of the Seeker S02E01 'Marked' airs November 7, 2009.
