It seems like Sly is slowly moving away from big screen movies and keeping his focus on TV shows now. Sly is currently hosting a reality TV show called “Strong” on NBC and now he just inked a deal to star in a prime time drama show in which he will play a mob boss which the story was written by Mario Puzo.
Sylvester Stallone & Antoine Fuqua Plot TV Series ‘Omerta,’ ‘The Godfather’ Author Mario Puzo’s Last Novel
It seems like Sly is about to retire from big screen movies pretty soon. Sly gave up Rambo and now it looks like he maybe giving up starring in the “Expendables” movies. You don’t see him in leading roles in big screen movies much anymore so something must be up with him.
It’s understandable ’cause the man is getting old. Sly is almost 70 years old and he probably can’t handle doing action stunts anymore. When he does do big screen movies, he’s probably gonna stay away from doing action movies and do mostly drama films.
This new TV show that Sly is about to star in, the one about the Mob boss sounds interesting, though. I’ll check it out.

Mario Puzo’s son Anthony Puzo has filed a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures, claiming the company failed to pay a share for Puzo’s estate from the game’s Royaltie’s. A “Godfather: The Game” was made in 2006 by EA, the game pictured above, it was based on the same story and same characters from the film. Anthony Puzo is not suing the company that made the game EA, he is suing Paramount.
7 years earlier before Mario Puzo died in 1999, Puzo and Paramount agreed to come to a deal that Puzo would receive a share from any audio or visual products made by the “Godfather” series. Anthony is sticking by his father’s wishes because this is what Mario Puzo would have wanted.

I expect Paramount to speak out about this soon, they’ll probably defend themselves so this lawsuit will get dismissed.
