Sylvester Stallone gives hilarious update on 'The Expendables 3'; confirms Nicolas Cage

Well, it's hard to argue with success. Despite The Expendables 2 not quite hitting the same box office heights domestically as the previous film, globally it's actually performed much better. So with the world market obviously not tiring of seeing these aging heroes in action just yet, the wheels were set in motion back in August for The Expendables 3. Right out of the gate Sylvester Stallone aimed high by targeting Clint Eastwood, Wesley Snipes, and Harrison Ford, with Nicolas Cage apparently signing on pretty fast.

Now Stallone has taken to Facebook to talk about the film, and he hints that the next one may not be the last...

Stallone: "We are preparing the film with the same passion and commitment as the previous two. We have confirmed Nicolas Cage, a master actor who gives a veneer intellectual group. Hopefully we can realize to Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes and Mickey Rourke. That is the great mission of the producer. We will continue with the same narrative scheme, the agility and the frenzy, which are inherent to the saga. What will definitely be the last? I can not guarantee. In principle it would be two deliveries, but the affection of the people encouraged us to work on a third. I guess as long as we amused ourselves by offering fun and people, we can continue playing 'The Expendables'. For now we are not as expendable as it should and as some critics want."

First of all, was he drunk when he wrote this? Second, I don't think "agility" is a word that should ever be used to describe The Expendables. And third, what the f**k is a "veneer intellectual group" and what does it have to do with Nicolas Cage?

Oh well. The point is that The Expendables 3 is coming, and we can probably expect to see all of the surviving crew back for me. Don't count on Eastwood being there, though.
