Wesley Snipes Joins THE EXPENDABLES 3, Mel Gibson Courted To Direct

It's been rumored for ages and now it's official: Sylvester Stallone is being joined by his freshly out of jail Demolition Man costar Wesley Snipes in The Expendables 3. And directing? Well, nobody yet, but Sly knows who he wants and he's not being shy about it, tweeting this late last night:

Mel is a MAGNIFICENT director! Pure passion on every level . we'd be blessed to have him.. A REAL long shot, but LIFE is a long shot -right?

Mel in this case would be Mel Gibson which opens up the possibility for all sorts of tasteless jokes about who the villains of The Expendables 3 might be. I'll leave those for you to make.
