Variety report that Katee Sackhoff is officially the second name to sign on to star in the upcoming female take on Lionsgate's The Expendables. Sackhoff - best known for her brilliant turn as Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace in the Battlestar Galactica reboot - joins the previously announced Gina Carano, who will headline the flick.

"If you spend five minutes with Katee it becomes blatantly obvious that she would pwn (sic) most male action stars," said Producer Adi Shankar about the casting. Sackhoff has a whole heap of projects in the pipeline, including Universal's untitled Chronicles of Riddick sequel, The Haunting in Georgia, Sexy Evil Genius, and Oculus.

They've got to have Mila Jovovich and Angelina Jolie in the film for it to be credible.

Sigourney Weaver and Linda Hamilton are a REQUIREMENT for this to be taken even remotely seriously

If Megan Fox or Kristen Stewart go anywhere near this i will spend about a good hour imagining how much this will suck an how not surprised i am.

You actually need solid good female actresses to pull this off an even then it's difficult.

Sigourney Weaver and Linda Hamilton i agree are a must.

The only female movie ass kickers in the last decade or more have been Jolie beckinsale and jojovich. Weaver is somewhat credible but Hamilton has one flick under her belt where she wasn't a damsel in distress that i recall. As of right now with Gina and starbuck they have a straight to DVD lineup.

Once a month, this team would go on a remorseless killing spree. It could be triggered by something as innocent as an innocuous joke. Perhaps this movie should be called "The Mydol Massacre".

The idea was good.
But this was not the idea.
BAAAAD choice.
How about Jolie; Jovovich; Yeoh; Rothrock; Sorvino; Zhang Ziyi; Michelle Rodriguez; Summer Glau; Biel; Beckinsale; Zoe Saldana...etc. etc?
Who the [frick] is this chick?! (I know who she is, I'm just saying, she's not a big action star in the fvcking slightest).

xcan28@ They wouldn't need to do a gender specific one if Stallone hadn't been abundantly clear about the "No girls" rule in Expendables 2. This is an expected reaction. All the aforementioned female action stars, above who deserve a role in an all-female Expendables film also deserve a role in a future Expendables sequel, but since there's only one girl allowed on the team, thanks to Stallone's 18th century attitude, we need another franchise.

Michelle Yeoh was a bigger action star than most of the cast of Expendables 2. Plus she's a better actor than all of them. I doubt they could get her for this... Or Weaver. Really, none of the notable women are pining for the 80's when they had careers doing these kinds of things.

Angelina Jolie
Mila Jovovich
Sigorney Weaver
Linda Hamilton
Uma Thrumond
Lucy Liu
Michele Yeoh
Kate Beknsale
Zoe Saldana
Charlize Theron
Michelle Rodriguez
Halle Berry
Carie Anne Moss
Jessica Alba

I know that Weaver and Hamilton are old, but if not most or all on that list (especially Jolie) the film won't sell.

"we need another franchise?"

Proper Wonder Woman with Carano no even being a fleeting thought, much less a consideration is closer to the truth.

No one watches a movie like this expecting academy award nominations. Hot chicks kicking ass! There are two kinds of males on this site, ones who will absolutely love to see this and gay men.

Due to this signing I'm betting Lucy Lawless will be a part of this as well but does anyone want to see a bunch of old chicks kicking ass? Katee Sackhoff isn't a bad choice given her look and on screen personality, her flaw is being relatively unknown to the masses and if they are trying to imatate the original then they are already slipping. Saying that I think this movie has a chance to work but with bigger names and a PG-13 rating.. There are a lot of woman out there that like action movies (not gore thats why PG-13) and like getting the "Girl Power" feeling from watching females getting the best of men which I'm sure would be worked into the plot.

junk

they want to have my interest then don't go with the "new blood". Have a movie with the same premise as the 1st expendables movie...this would mean perhaps the women from the 1st Terminator, Alien, Halloween, etc

Michelle Yeoh would own them all.

If Carano is headlining the film, you can't expect any of the top names mentioned to be part of the film. Carano can kick some ass, but she has had one film and can't be considered anything but a B/C film actor. I don't understand trying to pull off a female film like the Expendables and using a relatively unknown and not-so-talented lead actor.

It amuses me that this movie is being held to such a high standard. People are calling for it to feature women who can act, as if The Expendables featured award winning performances. I don't know if you guys realized it but Expendables had Chuck Norris and Jean Claude Van Damme. Last time I checked, those guys wouldn't act their ways out of a paper bag -- a lot of the appeal was in the campyness of brainless action movies and poking fun at the genre. If they're looking at this movie the same way, they need to cast women who starred in action movies from the past (some that are cheesy as hell even) like Shannon Tweed and then to round it out with a few modern names like Maggie Q (Nikita, crazy Asian chick in Live Free Or Die Hard.) It could work if they don't stray too far from the formula. Lucy Liu would be another name I'd throw in the hat along with Uma Thurman (maybe as the villain even.)
