After several working days of the so-called Second Unit, the production team that shoots all the shots and scenes that will be needed for the final form of the film, in which the famous protagonists do not participate, from tomorrow, Monday, November 8, the shooting begins with all the stars of the American entertainment industry, who will participate in the film.

For the production on set of "Expendables 4" in our country, it gives the "present" and equipment that comes from the Greek army, a practice that is common for any action production, around the world. This is a very important medium that often "judges" the re-production of action films in a country, as such films are necessary to include heavy equipment of local origin, vehicles and means that contribute to the realism of the final cinematic result. Thus, in this particular film, which is scheduled to be released in theaters in 2022, Greek viewers will see vehicles that will be familiar to them from the time of their military service."

Cant wait for more set pics involving our badasses!
ReplyDeleteNo Dolph or Randy? will they be killed off?
ReplyDeleteIn a commentary, Stallone said Dolph hasn't finished filming yet. So he's probably still going to film something.
DeleteI think there was an article that said Dolph was going to Greece but he seems to be still filming AM2 in the UK
DeleteI don't think Couture will be back though
DeleteMaybe Couture's character will die or he's filming without getting photographed on set.
DeleteSo why is Sly moving on from the franchise?
ReplyDeletethe producers are rebooting the franchise without Sly
