The May 4, 2001 issue of the Entertainment Weekly is a “must have” issue for all SYLVESTER STALLONE fans. It starts off with a great behind-the-scenes shot of SLY in the role of Rocky Balboa.
“Driven” then makes Jim Mullen’s HotSheet with the following: Driven. An action movie about CART auto racing. It was originally called Driving Miss Daisy at 240 MPH.
Speedy & Sylvester is the title of a three page piece on SLYby Chris Nashawaty. In addition to being a well done profile, it also contains four photos, and nine (!) characatures by Ward Sutton.
The issue also contains a review of “Driven.” which is given a grade of “C+.”
BEWARE MINOR SPOILER DISCUSSED BELOW:
Ok, still here? Good. The review is accompanied by the pic to the right. It’s interesting to note that in the photo Joe Tanto [Stallone] is right in the thick of things trying to get Memo out of the car, yet in the movie, he shows up after Memo has been brought to shore. I wonder when the change was made? In the movie after Memo is in the hospital and Blye and Tanto are going to race again an announcer says something to the effect that Brandenburg, Blye and Tanto all risked their lives to save Memo!
