Lee Christmas(Jason) speaks with a British accent. can’t answer the rating questionbut I’m also interesed to know so stay tuned. haven’t posted thefootage yet as there was a glitch. internet is slow cuz I’m usingdial-up most of the time which takes forever, but it’s coming - I haveit…we leave Brazil on April 25th and take a 2 week hiatus beforeresuming in New Orleans on May 11. Rogerio Nogueira plays a “red beret”

Short update today:

update from Sly Terry Crews is Jazz Gumbo & Jet is Ping Pong. I spelled David Zayas' name wrong oops.

So Jet will arrive tomorrow so there should be some pics finally.

Thanks JJM.  No one ever called me "cool" before.  I mean I am.  Just no one ever noticed.  

Jet's character is " P i n g   P o n g ."  OMG, that's funny.  I hope he gets to show off some of his ping pong skills.  I think I read somewhere he likes to play table tennis to relax.  Is it called ping pong in China I wonder?  

With the timing it doesn't look like Jet will be in the Brazil action any more than seven days of filming will allow.  And that's not much.

Twitter update

Oh what a lucky gal I am…

sitinghere in the parking lot across from the beautiful Pargue Loge, aniconic spot in Rio that we are using as General Garza’s palace. Nestledjust above the structure is the beautiful statue of Jesus. It’s a clearcool night and I am a happy camper. So for those of you who asked me tostop complaining about the weather…your wish is my commmand.

Slyis directing tonight - he’s not in any of the scenes. the actors allseem pleasantly surprised that he is an actor’s director. I think youwill see some d**n good performances. Sly is also a visionary - heknows exactly what this movie is and exactly how it should look and isconfident enough to make some pretty daring choices.

i asked theart director about the seaplane and he told me it is an Albatross,built in the ’50’s. There were approximately 500 built by Gruman in theUS and somewhere between 5 and 30 still fly. Originally used for searchand rescue . the one we use in a way too cool scene was piloted bystunt pilot/professional Lynne Hunt. I love the fact the fuel tanks canbe jettisoned in case of emergency.

Someone asked how much Sly weighs now - he lost 32 pounds since Rambo and currently weighs in at 180.  

Danny Trejo us not in the film.  Sly met with him and wanted him but when he rewrote the script he needed a different look.

okI’m not a big star gazer but i am soooo excited about Jet Li. He startswork on Monday…should be lots to write about when the 3 of them aretogether.

they jsut called lunch (it’s 11pm) so I’m off to the food room.

Ciao or Tchau for now

Well, have to wait until monday .

Wow. For once...I will be looking FORWARD to a Monday.

Thanks, JJM. : )

Can't wait to hear her impression of Jet when he's filming.

Finally some pictures of Jet.

... but maybe not in EVERY Jet movie.

I liked Jason in Lock, Stock, The Transporter series, Crank 1, The Bank Job, The Italian Job, ....  He's just fun to watch.  

There was in article in Slate which I thought was an interesting read.  And since he looks like he's having real fun filming this movie, maybe we'll even see another facet of Jason.

The Last Action Hero - How Jason Statham became theworld's biggest B-movie star.
By Jody RosenUpdated Friday, April17, 2009, at 11:05 AM ET




Jason Statham and Amy Smart in Crank: High Voltage

Jason Statham's greatness announced itself early in his acting career—88 seconds into his motion picture debut, to be precise, in the opening sequence of Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels (1998). Statham plays Bacon, a small-time criminal peddling stolen merchandise ("Handmade in Italy, hand-stolen in Stepney") on a London street corner. Suddenly, the police show up; Bacon and his accomplice take flight; and then, rounding a rain-slickened corner with a suitcase under his arm, he nearly tips over, performing a ridiculous little shuffle-step at an almost-45-degree angle to the pavement, his feet moving furiously but his forward motion momentarily stalled, like Wile E. Coyote in the instant before he realizes he has run out of clifftop road and is about to plummet 5,000 feet into a canyon. Whereupon Bacon regains his footing, vaults a barrier, and spills the entire contents of his suitcase as he races down a flight of stairs.

This is the essence of Statham-ism,a mix of bionic brute force and slapstick—Robocop meets Keystone Cops. It's a formula that has made Statham the biggest action hero going: Since 2001,Statham star vehicles have grossed $500 million worldwide. Currently, Statham is the face of two hit franchises: The Transporter, whose latest sequel,Transporter 3 (2008), earned more than $100 million, and Crank,whose second installment, Crank: High Voltage,arrives in theaters this Friday with the irresistible tag line "He was dead … But he got better."

For those keeping count, that's one more action movie franchise than any other Hollywood leading man can claim,unless you want to put a check-mark in Vin Diesel's column based on hisvoice-over work in the Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay video game. But Statham is largely unsung. Critics prefer Matt Damon's Jason Bourne movies—and why wouldn't they? With their virtuoso camerawork and existentialist overtones, the Bourne films are action flicks for cinéastes, and Damon's performances are admirably taut and understated. Of course, Damon is a thespian. Jason Statham is merely the biggest B-movie star in the world.

Happy to see photos of Jet .

As an action fan, I gotta say Statham snuck up on me. I wasn't a big fan of Transporter so I found myself kind of shying away from him...until I saw Death Race. Which made me hit up my Netflix queue with more Statham movies and...now I'm a fan.

As excited as I've been to see Jet footage from this movie, it's been a real kick to see photos of Statham and Stallone together. Kinda like old school meets new school. Old guard meets new guard.  UBER cool.

Very cool, thanks JJM. : )

I can't help feeling a bit sorry for Jet lol. Any time he's in public he's under a microscope. Doesn't matter is he just got off a plane after however many hours of flight & might be tired, maybe jet lagged or whatever. I would so hate to be photographed & followed everywhere the way he is. I guess it's what he signed on for, and as I've said before I sure wouldn't mind the money. Just keep the fame haha.

Your very welcome Seeker. I know what you mean about Jet being under a constant microscope but I think he's came to terms with that a long time ago but what i do think is great is that he's not like some of these pompous celebrities who let fame get to their heads and lash out at photographers. Jet is always level headed, cool and calm and uses his fame to help promote his foundation.

Right back to updates. Still no new twitter update yet or pics on Yesterday or todays filming but hopefully there will be tonight. Although I do have this pic from the Expendables set in Colonia. Also the bottom one is John Herzfeld. He's filming a behind the scenes documentary with this camera. Herzfeld is the best friend of Sly.

Short twitter updates today.
