$786.1 million. That's how much "The Expendables" trilogy made in cinemas worldwide, so if you're wondering why a television series is now happening, there's your answer. It looks like the concept of shit-tons of washed up movie stars joining forces is now going be tweaked into washed up TV stars joining forces.
Deadline reports that Fox is working on an event series that will bring together "iconic" TV stars to team up and fight terrorists, but probably on an even cheaper budget than "The Expendables" movies.

If any of those movies happen, we'll be surprised.
