People already starting on their line of customized
Expendables
action figures (I know I can't be the only one.) will have to scrap plans of beefing up that Lando Calrissian to make him resemble 50 Cent. Representatives for the rapper and actor say that scheduling conflicts with his upcoming
Before I Self-Destruct
make it impossible for him to appear in the film. These conflicts of course, have nothing to do with the surprising anti-50 backlash that occured in the blogosphere when Stallone announced the casting move. Though Sly went on Ain't It Cool News to defend the casting of 50 Cent, he also wasted no time in filling the role with
Terry Crews
. While this will probably satisfy the legions of fanboys fillling up buckets of drool about the project, I'm hoping that the string of scheduling conflicts continues until the role eventually falls into my lap. [
