Sly - The Last Action Hero?

Alan Granville for tvnz.co.nz posts an article which explores why Sly is the last true action hero. Here are some excerpts:

* Step forward Mr. Sylvester Stallone, 61 years old and one of the last true action heroes we have left... no-one has been more successful and more consistent in trying to make people explode or be pummelled than Stallone.

* Stallone has major Hollywood pedigree. He was Oscar nominated for Best Actor and Best Screenplay for Rocky back in 1976 (the movie went on to win Best Picture). He co-wrote and directed all the subsequent sequels, including last year's commercial and critical hit Rocky Balboa, itself a major gamble which paid off.

* Stallone is also incredibly popular around the world. Even when films tank or do middling business in the USA they still perform well elsewhere.

* Another thing which is in Stallone's favour is that he comes across as a nice guy in interviews. He seems funny, self-effacing and happy to joke about his on screen image. He is also said to be highly intelligent and comes across as a guy you could go for a beer (or protein shake) with.

* Stallone keeps bouncing back.

One More Again?

Reports have been circulating over the internet that Sly not only plans to bring Rambo back for another film, but also intends to take him into a new genre. According to an interview in BreakingNews.ie, a newspaper in Sweden, Sly said, "I would like to take Rambo to another genre, experiment a little with the character... It would definitely not be another war movie. I can't go any further with that than what I've already done. What it's going to be like, I'm not going to reveal at this point. But I'm already halfway though writing the manuscript."

Other reports indicate that sets are already being put into place for filming in Bulgaria on what would be the fifth Rambo outing.

Please remember that these are just rumors at this point. - Craig

Remember SZoner Joe, who wrote in saying that he was having his 50th birthday party at The Victor Cafe in Philadelphia [Adrian's restaurant in the Rocky Balboa movie]? Well, the party was a success and Joe sent us in this fan made Rocky poster comprised of small photos making the huge statue image. Very cool.
