Variety.com
reported
that Sly Stallone will direct his long-discussed dream
project: a movie about the life
and death of Edgar Allen Poe. Sly has been talking
about making
this film for years and now it looks as if it will happen.
Stallone's choice [and
it's a great one] to play Poe is Robert
Downey Jr.
Stallone will direct from
his own screenplay.
Nu Image/Millennium Films
will finance, produce and distribute
the film which may start shooting this fall.
So... where does that leave Rocky
VI and Rambo IV? Only time will tell. - Craig
