Forest Whitaker
Forest Whitaker is all set to start off with the cast of the action film ‘The Expendables’.
The film will be a first writing and directing effort by Stallone.
Whitaker will be playing a CIA liaison for a group of mercenaries (played by Stallone, Jet Li, Randy Couture and Jason Statham) who are secretly sent for overthrowing a South American dictator.
Stallone has been striving hard to get Forest’s dates. The shooting is scheduled for a February start.
Nu Image/Millennium Films is producing the film. Stallone has a two-picture deal with Nu Image/Millennium.
‘Expendables’ is the first project of Stallone’s deal. Whitaker is a fine choice as the powerful actor won his Academy for “The Last King of Scotland”.
Whitaker next appears in “Hurricane Season” and “Repossession Mambo.”
