On January 30th, the SZ announced that SLY was planning to star in an adaptation of STEPHEN KING's "Dolan's Cadillac." Fans became excited by the prospect of SLY in the role of a Las Vegas kingpin who thinks he's gotten away with murder.

Well, it wasn't just STALLONE fans who thought that this was newsworthy! The same day that our story ran, Dark Horizons and Chud posted the news as well! [Chud got their info from DH... and DH was sent the tip by Lilja of The World of Stephen King who had also e-mailed the SZ.]

Yesterday Zorianna Kit of The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that SLY is set to star [and KEVIN BACON is in negotiations to join him] in "Dolan's Cadillac," based on a STEPHEN KING novelette. The movie is scheduled to start production in May with writer-director STACY TITLE ["The Last Supper"] directing from her own adaptation.

In "Cadillac," STALLONE will play a Las Vegas kingpin who thinks he's gotten away with the murder of an innocent woman, though the spouse of the victim has big revenge plans.

This will be SLY'S fourth film for Franchise. He starred in "Get Carter" as well as the upcoming "Driven" and SLY will start filming "Avenging Angelo" with MADELINE STOWE in mid-April and then begin work on "Dolan's Cadillac" in May.
