Never one to abandon a franchise until he's slurped every molecule from its marrow, Sylvester Stallone is enthusiastically preparing for the inevitable Expendables 3 -- and because social media is the poorly spelled gift that keeps on giving when it comes to celebrity pronouncements, we have a few new tidbits about the next sequel, courtesy of Sly himself.

Patrick Stewart's version of the Professor X character met his maker in X-Men 3, but according to statements he made during a recent Q&A, it seems like he may be making a return to the franchise.

Well, you pretty much knew this was coming: Producer Adi Shankar has announced that the upcoming all-female Expendables project will star none other than Gina Carano.

It looks like the Deadpool film is moving forward with a first-time director.

After years of lounging in development, a live-action feature based on the classic 80's cartoon series "Voltron" is in the works at Atlas Entertainment says The Risky Biz Blog.
