Steve Austin And Danny Trejo Tag-Teaming ‘Recoil’

Joseph Gibson — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 04:03:12 +0000

Wrestler/actor Steve Austin and actor/La Tortuga Danny Trejo are finally combining their powers for the “indie-action” movie Recoil, which will be seeking distribution at the Cannes marketplace. Here’s a plot synopsis, which I’m pretty sure will just be a clothesline on which to hang lots of explosions and scowling:

“Austin will portray an ex-cop who’s life is ripped apart when his family is viciously murdered. He then makes it his life’s passion to find those responsible and serve up his own kind of justice. Trejo portrays a cold-hearted killer who is seeking his own vengeance against the ex-cop over the murder of his brother.”

What will happen when these two titans meet each other in the squared circle on the big screen? Only time will tell. I just hope the people at Cannes are all stocked up on steel chairs. (Variety)

Steve Austin Hosts WWE Reality Show, Gets 3:16 AM Time Slot

Stone Cold Steve Austin wants to know if you’re “Tough Enough.” Personally, I know I’m not. Crushing a beer can on my head would send me and my brittle skull to the emergency room. Luckily, there are folks tough enough to engage in highly choreographed fight routines, and they’ll get a chance at a WWE contract starting April 1st.

Like an old, broken down wrestler coming back for one more match, the WWE reality show “Tough Enough” is back in action and taking a lot of pain medication. Originally conceived in 2001 for MTV, the new version will air alongside RAW on USA. The WWE’s most recent attempt at a wrestlers-in-training show, “NXT,” quickly went off the air on Syfy and became a web series, which I would argue is more humiliating than just getting cancelled.

And that’s the entertainment news, because Screen Junkies said so. (EW)

Daily Expendable: Steve Austin

Steve Austin, on the wrestler formerly known as ‘Stone Cold’, may not have the same screen experience as the other Expendables, but what he lacks in acting skills, he makes up in kicking ass. How bad-ass is Austin? It took two full days to film his fight scene with Sly Stallone, during which he broke Stallone’s neck.

Weird Fact: Adam Sandler ranks him as one of his all time favorite co-stars.

Comic-Con 2010: Stallone & Gang at ‘The Expendables’ Party

_{I’ve got cinematography skillz.}

While at Comic-Con, I attended a party for The Expendables where Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, and Steve Austin presented an Action Hero Hall of Fame Award to Sylvester Stallone. He’s the first recipient, so I’m not sure how prestigious it is. Guess it all depends on who receives it next year. If it’s Luke Wilson for his work in Blue Streak then I’ll know it’s legit.
