Opens: Aug. 17
Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Bruce Willis
Genre and rating: Action, not yet rated
Plot: When a teammate is killed during what should’ve been a simple job, the Expendables — with two new members — set out on a mission to bring down their hated rival.
Spin: Rumors swirl about whether the still unrated sequel (directed by Lara Croft: Tomb Raider’s Simon West) to last summer’s $100 million-grossing (U.S.) action film will keep its R rating — or go for an audience-widening PG-13.
