Bill “The Raytrix” Marimon is back with his take on Sly from “The Expendables”.  I got this piece from Bill at the Mini-MegaCon.  He wasn’t set up as a guest, but I was able to persuade him to do a couple of Stallone sketches.  This is the second.  I posted the first here.  In the mean time check out Bill’s home on the web.  There’s plenty there to hold you over.

The last time we heard from Miguel Insignares was back in May when we posted a sketch that he’d done for my Stallone art theme. At that time, I said that Miguel was working on a pretty cool concept for a comic/movie. We’ll get to that in a second, but first… Miguel created the cool Rambo art that sits a top of this post. Miguel says:

Hope all is well. I wanted to send you a brand-new Rambo drawing I did that has never been seen before on the net! I also wanted to give you an update about my upcoming comic book along with a list of the talent involved. If your readers dig the art style I used on the Rambo piece, they’re gonna get plenty of it in my new comic! In addition, I have other brand new RAMBO & ROCKY illustrations that I would love to debut on your site every couple of weeks leading up to the release of my comic on January 29 2010!! The Press Release can be found at the official website: www.islandofthedead.com

Thanks again for your support and keep up the great work.

Miguel — we’d love to see more of your Stallone art here at the SZ.  I also look forward to your The Rufnex: Island of the Dead comic.  You’ve hit on to a great concept and it should be a winner for everyone involved — especially the fans!

My old buddy, Keith Kyker, sent in the picture above with a link to an article at POPSCI.com which asks [and answers] the question: “Could a Human Beat a T-Rex in Arm Wrestling?” Although the article [which you can read here] says, “No”, Keith says: “Of course, with the right music and script, it could turn-out differently. That’s why movies are made, right?”

Exactly, Keith. Great to hear from you and thanks for the link!

Yesterday Entertainment Weekly posted an “exclusive” mini-interview with Sly about his recent filming for ‘The Expendables” with Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzengger. Here’s a taste of what Sly had to say:

“I was just looking at the dailies, saying, ‘Jesus, this is amazing!’”…  

“Arnold, who plays my old rival, walks in. We have a history together. And we go back and forth and I tell him that I should have shot him a long time ago when I had the chance. Then it goes on from there. And here we are, the three of us trying to man up to one another, playing off of who we are, using our baggage in this one scene.”

Dolph Lundgren talks about filming on “The Expendables” and more in this interview at ComicBookMovie.com.

Dolph is also interviewed here about “The Expendables” by the folks at Worst Previews.

And here for Movieweb. 

The interviews are covered by Digital Spy.

Last week I posted about Sly, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis filming their scenes for “The Expendables”.  SZoners knew history was being made when the three action icons filmed together for the first time… but it wasn’t only SZoners who took notice!
