Together At Last: Tony Jaa And Dolph Lundgren On The Set Of A Man Will Rise
9 April 2013 9:32 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
How’s this for the best news you’re going to hear all week: martial arts superstar Tony Jaa (“Ong Bak”) is teaming up with legendary action icon, and chemical engineer, Dolph Lundgren (“Rocky IV”). The two will co-star in the international action flick “A Man Will Rise.” Formerly titled “Local Hero,” with Jean-Claude Van Damme slated to appear opposite Jaa, a few photos from the set of “A Man Will Rise” have found their way into our eager little hands. There isn’t much known about the story thus far, but if these pictures are any indication, there’s a western theme, with Lundgren in a cowboy hat, and a some sweet facial hair stylings. If nothing else, it’s nice to see Jaa actually working on set again. Hopefully now that he has wriggled out of his exclusive contract with Sahamongkol, he’ll be able to take on more and more movies. »

Top 10 Best Sylvester Stallone Movies
18 March 2013 9:12 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
"I don't trust anybody, that's how you stay in the game."
At 66, Sylvester Stallone is reaching that age when most action movie stars contemplate retirement or transition into playing kindly grandfathers, grumpy old men, and butlers (no offense, Sir Michael), yet 'Sly' continues to make the kind of movies that made him famous when he was a young man. After surprising everyone but his hardcore fans with the success of his throwback action movies The Expendables 1 & 2, Stallone stumbled a bit with his solo movie Bullet to the Head, but he's got the support of great co-stars in his upcoming action movie The Tomb with Arnold Schwarzenegger and the boxing comedy Grudge Match with Robert De Niro, currently in production. The Expendables had a bigger opening weekend than any of Stallone's previous movies, but is it also his best movie? Does Barney Ross deserve a spot alongside John Rambo and Rocky Balboa? »

The Avengers Didn't Have Enough "Machismo" For The Expendables' Dolph Lundgren
7 March 2013 1:00 PM, PST | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Talking to Hero Complex, Dolph Lundgren (who made a name for himself as 'Ivan Drago' in 1985's Rocky IV) has shared his thoughts on the divide between old school action fare and special effect laden blockbusters. The actor is now best known for taking on roles in the former genre with the likes of The Expendables, The Expendables 2 and Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning. "There will always be an exploration of new technology in things like "The Avengers" — that was a great movie, by the way — but I think certainly for part of the audience, if you fire a thousand bullets and there’s not a drop of blood, there’s something wrong with that. Part of the audience wants to see real explosions and real fights and that kind of real machismo." Do you agree? Lundgren clearly isn't trying to start anything here - he even says how »

Celebrating sci-fi cinema’s memorable robot butlers

Odd List Ryan Lambie 6 Mar 2013 - 06:48
With Robot & Frank out this week in the UK, here’s a look at a few of cinema’s other great robot butlers...
It’s telling that the word ‘robot’ - coined by Josef Capek and first appearing in print in his brother Karel’s play Rossum’s Universal Robots in 1920 - is derived from the Czech word for ‘labour’. Stories of artificial people and automata have appeared in stories for centuries, and it’s often the case that these inhuman constructs are given tasks that their human masters wouldn’t want to do themselves. From the factory-produced workers of Capek’s Rur mentioned above to the eerily blank David in Prometheus, the notion of the robotic servant is a familiar one in science fiction.
It’s a theme touched on in this year’s Robot & Frank, a moving sci-fi drama about an »

Questions and Answers with Dolph Lundgren
20 February 2013 11:00 AM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Dolph Lundgren has been the consummate action star since the 1980s, when he burst onto the film scene in the Bond flick, "A View to a Kill," before playing Rocky's Russian nemesis Ivan Drago in "Rocky IV" and He-Man in "Masters of the Universe."
He took on a different-than-usual challenge recently, playing the famous psychologist Dr. Sage Mennox in the ensemble comedy-drama, "Small Apartments."
Lundgren talked briefly with NextMovie about black hair dye, being honest with yourself, and which cast member of "The Expendables" would pose a threat to him in a fight.
Congratulations on "Small Apartments." You're obviously known for taking roles that show off your ability, you know, to beat the crap out of people.
(laughs) Exactly.
How much fun was it to play a guy who manipulates people mentally?
It was cool. Yeah. One of the first times I've played a guy who's educated, or at least he pretends to be. »

Dolph Lundgren interview: Universal Soldier, Expendables 3, musicals
7 February 2013 1:25 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Dolph Lundgren tussled with Sylvester Stallone in Rocky IV, Jean-Claude Van Damme in Universal Soldier and made up part of the musclebound Expendables gang with the likes of Jason Statham, Jet Li and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
There's no doubt about it, Lundgren is an action icon to be reckoned with.
As well as the above films, he's starred in Masters of the Universe (as He-Man), John Woo's Blackjack (an assassin scarred of the colour white - cue final act shoot-out at a milk factory) and Command Performance (a rock drummer who saves the President).
A man of many talents, Lundgren's resume also boasts six movies as a director, a 3rd dan black belt in Kyokushin Karate, a degree in chemical engineering and a stint as co-host on a reality show to find Sweden's entrant for the Eurovision Song Contest.

Vampire Diaries Round Table: "A View to A Kill"
1 February 2013 11:13 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
The Vampire Diaries really hit the mark on "A View to A Kill," bringing most main characters together by the end in the name of one vital purpose: finding that cure.
On the way there, they danced to 80s music and made references to sexual handbooks. In other words: they ensured this would be an especially fun installment of the TV Fanatic Round Table!
Gather around now with staff writers Matt Richenthal, Leigh Raines, Miranda Wicker and Steve Marsi...
-------------------------------------------
What was your favorite scene or quote from the episode?
Matt: Everything about the dance... with the exception of Caroline not being around to organize it. But I loved the 80s references, both musical and and theatrical. Also adored vulnerable Rebekah and positively hilarious Stefan. I hope you like The Cure? Ha!
Leigh: This was the best episode I've seen in awhile, so it's a tough choice. But I guess »

Dolph Lundgren Says 'The Expendables 3' Aiming To Shoot This Fall With Wesley Snipes Eyed To Join Cast
24 January 2013 10:42 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
While the buzz on "The Expendables 2" was fairly muted and the domestic gross lagged behind that of the first film, the blockbuster action sequel still netted a cool $300 million worldwide. Given that making these movies doesn't break the bank, it's not a surprise to learn that a third iteration is in the works. While no director is attached, and the script has yet to be written, Dolph Lundgren confirms he'll return for the musclebound action franchise's third outing, which could even begin shooting this year. Speaking to MovieWeb, he says, "From what I understand, they won't even have 'The Expendables 3' ready until the fall." Though he also says there's no script, and from the sounds of it, he's definitely on the outside of development looking in. However, Lundgren has maintained a strong relationship with series mastermind Sylvester Stallone since "Rocky IV," so it makes sense he'd know a little bit about. »
