Movies full of guys and girls--separately

I somehow missed this, but production has started on a movie about the legendary all-girl rock group the Runaways--the band that launched the careers of Lita Ford and Joan Jett. Kristen Stewart from the Twilight movies is playing Joan Jett, Dakota Fanning is lead singer Cherie Currie, and a girl named Alessandra Torresani has been plucked out of relative obscurity to play Lita Ford (who also has a producing credit on this one). Expected out next year, I think this might kick quite a bit of ass.

Then there's this fun little film I had forgotten about--The Expendables. Also out next year--release date 23 April--written, directed, and starring Sylvester Stallone. Also starring:
  • Jason Statham
  • Jet Li
  • Mickey Rourke
  • Dolph Lundgren
  • Danny Trejo
  • Steve Austin (yes, THAT Steve Austin)
  • Randy Couture
  • cameo role for Arnold Schwarzenegger

This may very well be the greatest guy movie ever made. (no qualifiers are needed for a project of this magnitude)
