访谈录 2013-08-12&08-14 史泰龙痛批布鲁斯·威利斯贪婪又懒惰

 Two of Hollywood's lengendary action stars in a heated war of words.So Sylvester Stallone slamming Bruce Willis after a dispute over one of their blockbuster movies. ABC'S L has the story.

It's the clash of the vintage acton heros.67-year-old Sylvester Stallone vs. 58-year-old Bruce Willis.The * rooms falling off the silver screen and into an online brawl¹.The rocky star is now throwing verbal punches after revealing Willis will no longer be riding shotgun in Expandable 3,the next installment² of the Box Office's busting³ franchice.Willis will be replaced by 71-year-old Indiana star Harrison Ford⁴,a decision that apparently⁵ pleased slide.And as his Twitter smacked⁶ down,he implies Willis is getting what he deserves.

Tweet, Willis out,Harrison Ford in.

Second layer,he writes,greedy and lazy,a sure formula for career failure.

Nobody is really saying what the exact reason is.Stallone made reference to being greedy.What likely happen is very simple,Bruce Willis probably is asking for more money and they aren't really gonna give it to him.

Some are announcing Sylvester Stallone's tweet is more like the action of a teenage girl not a butt-kicking hero.

I'm not surprised that Sylvester Stallone has frustrations⁷.I'm surprised that he went public with that.It's rare to see something like that,it's so aggressive on Twitter.

Bruce Willis hasn't responded publicly.Nobody is expecting the die-heart star to go down without a fight.

Thank for cutting that right there.Hey,how the two expandable movies have taken over 600 million dollars worldwide,so a successful franchise⁸.We would like it to go on either way.
