Expendables team up with Charity Organisation
August 12th 2010 07:02
Lionsgate (UK), whose hard-hitting action thriller, THE EXPENDABLES, opens in Britain’s cinemas on Thursday 19th August, has formed an alliance with The ForceSelect Foundation, which was recently set up to raise funds for military charities in the United Kingdom.
Numerous proposals to help the Foundation are currently under discussion, including Lionsgate’s support for the charity at the film’s premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square on Monday 9th August, which will be attended by writer-director Sylvester Stallone and his fellow stars Jason Statham and Dolph Lundgren.
The ForceSelect Foundation was launched last month as a registered charity by General Sir Mike Jackson GCB CBE DSO DL, former Chief of the General Staff, Andy McNab DCM MM and ex-Infantry officer Hugh Andrée, all directors of ForceSelect, a recruitment agency for ex-service personnel. Dame Kelly Holmes MBE recently became a Trustee of the Foundation, which aims to give something back to the brave men and women who have served their country, by supporting smaller military charities whose existence is under threat due to lack of funding.
THE EXPENDABLES, which features a band of former soldiers on a deadly mission, is a powerhouse of action movie talent, starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Randy Couture and Steve Austin, with Terry Crews and Mickey Rourke. Adding to the film’s star-power are Bruce Willis and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in telling cameo roles.
A Nu Image Production of a Film by Sylvester Stallone, THE EXPENDABLES is presented by Lionsgate and Millennium Films and is released by Lionsgate (UK).
