Stallone's 'Expendables' Updates Including Set Pics and Brittany Murphy is Aboard

Finally found a way to get all this in one article

The cast list on Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables is becoming a ridiculous list of B-list film stars as Brittany Murphy and David Zayas are the latest to join the cast not to mention the casting of mixed martial arts stars Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and his twin brother Antonio Rogerio Nogueira as announced by Moviehole the other day.

The film was written, will be directed and stars Stallone along with Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren and Randy Couture and follows a team of mercenaries who head to South America on a mission to overthrow a dictator.

There's no word on what roles the Nogueira brothers were offered, but The Hollywood Reporter says Murphy will play Mickey Rourke's girlfriend, a singer. The part calls for her to perform a musical number. Zayas will play the dictator.

If you are wondering if Murphy can pull off the singing role just check out the video above of "Faster Kill Pussycat," which she recorded with DJ Paul Oakenfold back in 2006.

In other Expendables news, several pictures from the Brazilian set showed up at Spoiler TV on Tuesday such as the one previewed above. On top of that, actor Eric Roberts is updating from the set via some anonymous blog and the set publicist, Sheryl Main, is updating fans via Twitter.

Is that enough for you? Expendables will be released by Lionsgate on April 23, 2010.

The "Sylvester Stallone help B-listers get work Foundation" haha.
The casting is kinda funny.

But I don't mind at all. Nothing wrong with a good old all out action flick.
I grew up with things like Rambo and Commando and never really grew out of it.
