Florin “FLOReNZIO” Ungur is a SZoner from Romania who sent in the cover scan and the following:
Dear Craig,
Here is a scan of the January issue of the French “Premiere” magazine. There are several pages dedicated to “Rocky Balboa” and a substantial interview with Sly. He speaks about his working attempts with Quentin Tarantino, in “Inglorious Bastards” (which still can happen) and “Grindhouse” (he had to refuse due to his comitments to “Rocky Balboa” and “Rambo IV”). A lot of interesting stuff…
What I didn’t know till now is that he turned down roles in “Se7en” (1996) and “Witness” (1985), which still regrets to these days. Well, David Fincher’s movie is one of my very favourites and I wish he would sign for it.
I’m from Romania and over here “Rocky Balboa” opens on February 16th. I could have got the pirated movie on disc, but I prefer to pay for it and see it on the big screen. I’m looking forward to it! Also, I’m very happy for Sly that this movie had such a success worldwide and got positive reviews from most film critics.
Keep on punchin’!
Kind regards,
Florin “FLOReNZIO” Ungur

Thanks to “FLOReNZIO” for sharing! I also appreciate the fact that “FLOReNZIO” decided to avoid the pirated bootleg. That’s the sign of a true fan! – Craig
