Avi Lerner sagt,
- Expendables 4 wird erst 2018 gedreht
- kommt ohne Stallone, weil er sich mit dem verkracht hat. Eigentlich sollte Sly 20 Mio für Ex4 kriegen
- Stallone soll 100 Mio Budget für Ex4 verlangt haben
- Freundschaft mit ihm soll noch da sein, aber deutlich distanzierter
- Lerner hält ihn für keinen guten Produzenten
- er selbst werde in 2 Jahren in Rente gehen
Are you still planning to retire?
Yes. In two years' time. I'll still be making movies, but I don't want to run a big company. I want to run a small company. Who will [run the company], I don't know. That's up to the buyers.
Sylvester Stallone said there will be no more Expendables with him.
Well, that's what he said last time.
You think there might be another?
Not with Sylvester. There will be more Expendables, but not with him. Sly wanted to produce the movie, and I don't think he can produce the movie. He's a good actor. He's a good writer. But he's not a good producer. And I didn't want to give him $100 million to produce.
Are you still friends with him?
Obviously less. But I respect him. I think he's one of the icons of the world. You know, without being too mean, I took him when he was down, when nobody wanted to hire him, and I gave him Rambo and The Expendables. I think I gave him a new life.
So you're not doing Expendables 4?
We will do Expendables 4, without Sylvester Stallone. We've got a script. We're working on it.
What's the most you've paid an actor?
Twenty million. Sylvester Stallone. We were going to pay him that for Expendables 4.
What's next?
We are going to do Hellboy [and] Expendables 4 next year. We're doing Expendabelles. It will be 10 big female names.
