THE EXPENDABLES
It was the 'manliest' premiere of the year, when writer-director Sylvester Stallone joined his fellow stars Jason Statham and Dolph Lundgren on the red carpet for the launch of Lionsgate's new action blockbuster THE EXPENDABLES at London's Odeon Leicester Square on Monday 9th August. Flanked by soldiers from the Princess of Wales Royal Regiment and Guardsmen in full dress uniform, representing the services charity ForceSelect, which was benefitting from the event, the three stars spent more than two hours meeting media and fans before the screening. Earlier in the day they had paid a visit to Wellington Barracks to see the Army at work and to meet the troops. The premiere's celebrity guests included Katie Price, Professor Green, champion boxers David Haye and Amir Khan, Eliza Doolittle, Liz McClarnon, Leigh Francis, Preeya Kalidas, Leslie Phillips and Michael Winner, together with distinguished military guests, including General Sir Mike Jackson GCB CBE DSO DL, L/Cpl Johnson Beharry VC, Major Mick Flynn CGC MC, the most decorated soldier currently serving and author Andy McNab DCM MM.

The film, which was shot on location in Brazil, New Orleans and Los Angeles, is produced by Avi Lerner, John Thompson and Kevin King Templeton. The executive producers are Jon Feltheimer, Jason Constantine, Eda Kowan, Basil Iwanyk, Guymon Casady, Danny Dimbort, Boaz Davidson, Trevor Short and Les Weldon.
