Hold on to your butts: “The Expendables” are coming

Cream … The Highwaymen … Audioslave … Velvet Revolver … The Dead Weather … and any other supergroup you can think of?

Bunch of wussies, all of them.

Prepare yourself for the extreme mash-up of godlike figures that will be “The Expendables,” which will hit theaters next year. And by “hit,” I mean kick you in the face with a jackboot and then impale your cranium with a combat knife!

Try not to soil yourself out of sheer excitement when you read this cast list representing the crème de la crème of action cinema:

Sylvester Stallone!
Jason Statham!
Jet Li!
Dolph Lundgren!
Eric Roberts!
Steve Austin!
Mickey Rourke!
Bruce Willis!
Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Now, after a shower and a fresh change of pants, check out this trailer and prepare to have your eyeballs scorched by its sheer awesomeness.

UPDATE: Apparently, the mighty display of manliness in the trailer proved too much, as just about every incarnation of it on YouTube has been removed. Look at it this way, by not seeing it, you’ve saved yourself a dry-cleaning bill.
