Randy Couture’s next hollywood movie “The Expendables” saw the release of its first trailer yesterday. The film also stars Sylvester Stallone, Jonathon Statham, Jet Li, Terry Crews, and smaller appearances from the likes of Dolph Lundgren and Steve Austin.
Release date: Summer 2010
Payout Perspective:
Not much of Couture in that trailer, which leads me to wonder how big of a role he received in the overall movie.
Still, the fact that an MMA star is able to cross-over and work in the film industry bodes well for the entire sport. Couture is bound to generate interest for the UFC via his participation in the movie – especially in the promotional run-up to its release date. He’s also paving the way for other fighters to make the transition, and secure a paycheck without getting smacked in the face (for real).
