Yes, Crews says "you're terminated" (sans interrogative) in the trailer. And, yes, Crews was in Terminator Salvation. However, since most of his footage was cut, he only appears as a cadaver when Christian Bale emerges from the missile silo/prison camp during the beginning of the movie.

I'm a tad indifferent towards it.

However, I like that the cast list on the bottom confirms that Charisma Carpenter returns. Hopefully she'll look like she did in Burn Notice.

Re: The Expendables 2 (2012?)

It almost looks like the poster was designed without Hemsworth but after the success of Hunger Games (and the confusion with his brother Chris) they wanted to capitalize off his name. And instead of redesigning the whole poster they just decided to pigeonhole him in after after the fact.

I doubt that. Hemsworth's name has been just as large as others in the promo materials thus far. This looks like your standard "big stars, big contractual obligations, big heads" poster. At least they're not floating.

I don't know, he does look kind of shoe-horned in there. He's so far back his face isn't even in focus. I didn't even notice somebody back there at first glance.

Re: The Expendables 2 (2012?)

None of these guys are shot together. They're shot individually and the image is composed from the individual photos. Most times it's only their faces shot and pasted onto photo-double bodies.

Contractual obligations often get as ridiculous as "______'s head must be 15% larger than ______'s head". Stuff like that is why we get a lot of "bad photoshop" from some very skilled graphic designers.

No question that Liam's head is the smallest there. He's probably getting paid the least and no doubt has less staff negotiating on his behalf than the other career actors and athletes on the poster.

Norris should be up front.

It should be Norris and Van Damme (giant sized)kicking and aiming at each other's heads. Then the rest of the losers in between their nut sacks.

We have some talented people here.
Why don't some of you post what the poster should look like.

Who cares what you losers think of the poster. I'll wait til Solid Snake chimes in with his take before I decide whether the poster sucks or not. Hrrmph

Meh. It's not good, it's not bad. It's meh at best. It's too desperate on selling the cast. Of course...the cast is the selling point..but...it could've been better made w/o the generic feel of it.

Again...I really wonder if we will ever see Norris do a kick in here? I mean..that's his thing. This movie looks tons better than the whole of the first film for sure.

Re: The Expendables 2 (2012?)

I don't think Norris is close to kicking anything at his age.
Except a particular bucket.

Maybe we'll see his stuntman kick someone.

I'm still cracking up that Djokovic is in this. He's still not a huge name (despite being #1 in the world) relatively speaking but cool to have a tennis player beating people up with his racket.

The banter seems much improved over that of the first film. However, the most important thing? Squibs!
