Nicolas Cage Turns Down Expendables 3
Nicolas Cage has categorically denied he’ll be one of the new stars joining the testosterone fueled third installment of The Expendables. Cage had long been rumored as one of the big names set to add even more firepower to the third film in the popular franchise, but it now seems pretty clear he’s declined the chance to join the impressive collection of aging action superstars.
Most recently Mel Gibson was all but confirmed as the villain of The Expendables 3 by Sylvester Stallone via Twitter. Stars like Milla Jovovich, Jackie Chan and Wesley Snipes are all also rumored to be in talks, as Stallone’s more ambitious hopes of landing Harrison Ford or Clint Eastwood seem to have evaporated.
Video clip below of Nic Cage at the world premiere in London for The Frozen Ground, issuing a pretty firm denial of any involvement in The Expendables 3 and ruling out an always unlikely Kick Ass 2 cameo:
Cage is however starring in crime drama The Frozen Ground alongside Vanessa Hudgens and John Cusack, here’s a full length interview below where he explains his famously flamboyant acting style and sings the praises of young co star Hudgens:

Sony Picutres Set To Go Fast with Boats
Sony Pictures is reportedly buying the rights for Go Fast, a film which aims to take the lucratively successful formula of Fast and Furious and apply it to speed boats.
xXx writer Rich Wilkes is being given responsibility for turning high speed nautical travel into a coherent feature length plot. Kick Ass 2 writer/director Jeff Wadlow will be taking on duties behind the camera, either before or after he tackles the X-Force movie he’s already committed to making. There’s no cast or plot details in place yet, but the action is likely to focus on the most common use of so called ‘go fast’ boats as a handy high speed tool for smuggling contraband across the globe.
For now the real question is, does anyone know if Vin Diesel likes boats?
Kevin Costner making Midnight Delivery
Kevin Costner is in talks to take the lead in Midnight Delivery, a new film for Universal based on a script by Mama writer Neil Cross and produced by Guillermo Del Toro. Midnight Delivery will focus on the story of a desperate father who becomes a drug mule in order to save his son’s life.
Landing the role would continue a spectacular recent career revival that has seen former leading man also land roles in Man of Steel, two Tom Clancy films and assassin thriller Draft Day.
