Report: Stallone’s “Expendable’s” script review at AICN…possible SPOILERS!!!

An editor at AICN read the script of Stallone’s “The Expendables” the action film full of big name stars, there are some spoilers in this review but nothing major so it doesn’t reveal anything big.

One thing I can say though that Stallone maybe playing a character named Barney, Dolph will only get a few small scenes in the film, and Stallone wrote a character who is a gay guy in the mercernaries group and he wrote in an extra black character for the mercernaries. The black guy isn’t played by Forrest Whittaker, the black guy is played by an actor who isn’t signed yet (Carl Weathers, Wesley Snipes anyone?).

Like the reviewer said the script may not be the final draft and the character names for the actors  is all speculation so I wouldn’t call this official.

I hope Sly can get Carl Weathers back on the big screen again, that would be fuckin’ cool. I would take Carl reuniting with Sly again over Wesley. I never liked Wesley Snipes that much and honestly, I find “Demolition Man” to be one of Sly’s worse movies.

Report: Stallone to reunite with Sandra Bullock for “The Expendables”???

Oh my!!! Sly is not only reuniting with Dolph Lundgren, Sly may also be reuniting with Sandra Bullock for “The Expendables” also!!! As you know, Sly and Sandra Bullock starred alongside each other in the sci-fi action adventure “Demolition Man”. Sly is now after Sandra to play one of the female leads for “Expendables”.

So far Sly has Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Randy Couture, Forrest Whitaker and Juliana Paes. There is still more characters for Sly’s mercernaries group in the film, so Sly is still not done signing big names yet.

If Sly can actually sign Arnold Schwarzenegger to the film, lets hope our dream of Sly and Arny teaming up would come true. It’s possible Sly is after Arny for the movie, because those two guys have been spending a lot of time together lately, so that’s pretty questionable. Crosses fingers that Arny will be “Expendable” too!!!

Report: Juliana Paes, a brazilian actress lands the female lead in Stallone’s “The Expendables”…

Look like Sylvester Stallone just found his female lead for his upcoming new action flick “The Expendables”. Stallone signed brazilian actress, Juliana Paes, as his female sidekick. She’s been in many soap operas in Brazil and she’s very famous there, Sly has always been known to give unknown actors/actresses a shot.

This news was exclusively reported at “The Stallone Zone”, a fan site message board, so it could be just a rumour, as there is no real official source. Maybe Sly himself will speak out on this soon to tell us if it’s true, that Juliana has been signed as the female lead. I hope it is true because she is pretty smoking.

Report: “Judge Dredd” greenlit to return to the big screen…

Rebellion and 2000 A.D. film companies announced they had greenlit “Judge Dredd” to return to the big screen. They will work with DNA films who brought us “Sunshine” and “28 Days Later”. They can’t give out any more details of the plot, cast, etc. but they seem really excited to bring this comic book superhero back to the big screen.

Judge Dredd made his first live action debut to the big screen in 1995, the character played by Sylvester Stallone. The movie also starred Rob Schneider, Max Von Sydow, and Diane Lane. There is no word on who will play the Judge Dredd role.

No word if Sylvester Stallone will reprise that character again, but he has said in interviews on AintItCool that he would love to go back to that character one day to make it a better movie, but who knows, never say never on Sly returning as Judge Dredd, right? May all the rumours all over the web of Sly returning as the character begin!!!

Even if Sly doesn’t come back as Judge Dredd, it’s great news that the film is coming back for a better movie. I thought Sly made a great Judge Dredd, but his movie could have been made better. Judge Dredd is a superhero character that deserves a better movie.

Cool Video: Stallone steals the spotlight backstage at the Ricky Hatton fight…

Fighter Ricky Hatton warms up for his match while his friends and his team are hanging out backstage with him at the MGM Grand.

4 famous celebrities are backstatge as well. Noel and Liam Gallagher are backstage. Noel is in the green jacket with the funny looking British hair, Liam is the one wearing an all black suit wearing sunglasses. Noel is backstage chatting it up with David Beckham, the famous soccer player. Jason Statham is also backstage as well.

Sly doesn’t walk in backstage until about 3:49 in the video, but as soon as Sly walks in, the music turns off, it is suddenly quiet and the whole room was like starring at Sly with a “Woah, that is Sly” look on their faces.

Later in the video, you see Noel chatting it up with Jason Statham. You also see Noel posing for pics with young Oasis fans backstage. But everybody seems to pay attention to Sly once he walked in, lol!!! That just proves that Sly Stallone is a fucking legend, man.

Enjoy this.

Report: Stallone hires Robert Earl to produce “The Expendables”…

Sly Stallone just announced he just hired Robert Earl to produce “The Expendables” with him. Robert Earl is the CEO of Planet Hollywood restaurants/musuems. Earl revealed that he will heavily promote “The Expendables” at all Planet Hollywood sites across the globe, including the one in New York City in Times Square. So if you go to any of the Planet Hollywoods expect to see movie posters and cardboard cutouts of characters of the film “The Expendables” all over the place.

This article also confirms that Dolph Lundgren is definitely in the movie too.

Good to see this film moving forward.

I wonder who the female lead will be for “The Expendables”? Will he get an actress we’ve never heard of before like he always does or will he get a big name actress? Who knows. I’m sure we’ll hear about a female lead soon.

Edit to add: For a female lead, I think Sly should just get Talia Shire from the Rocky movies. Talia can play a different character in “The Expendables”. I’d like to see Sly and Talia together again!!!

Report: Aronofsky originally wanted Sly Stallone and Nic Cage for “The Wrestler”…

Film director Darren Aronofsky revealed that Mickey Rourke wasn’t the first choice to play Randy “The Ram” Robinson in the film “The Wrestler”. First choice in line was Nicolas Cage, but Nic Cage turned the movie down due to creative differences, sounded like Nic Cage didn’t like the script and moved on. Second choice was Sylvester Stallone. Aronofsky explains how he was trying to get Sly back in the ring again but Sly has been too busy working on “Rocky Balboa” at the time. Then Mickey Rourke accepted the role.

From the article below:

http://www.azcentral.com/ent/movies/articles/2008/11/28/20081128wrestler-rourke.html

Rourke, for several reasons, wasn’t the first choice for the role – and, for those same reasons, he wasn’t the easiest person to stay first choice. Aronofsky now says that the story that Nicolas Cage was the original choice and bowed out in deference to Rourke “is a bit overblown,” but he concedes that Sylvester Stallone was on his short list early on. “I was thinking it’d be interesting to see him go back to the ring in some way because he’s so good in the ring. Then he did ‘Rocky Balboa,’ the latest ‘Rocky,’ and it kinda ruled it out for me because it was about an older guy going back to the ring. There were enough connections there that I didn’t want to go near it.”

I’m dying to see “The Wrestler” but I don’t know if the Wilton Mall will ever get it though. The film is not a nationwide release, only in selected theaters so I’ll just wait for DVD on this one. The movie does look amazing though.

I don’t know if Sly would go for a wrestler type of movie anyways, he’s more of a boxing movie star.

Edit to add: I just remembered that Sly Stallone wrote, directed and starred in “Paradise Alley” one of Stallone’s older movies and that movie is wrestling related. So Sly is definitely a fan of wrestling too so never know, he could have done “The Wrestler”.
