Sly’s in Arnold’s Army by Randy Jennings

Craig / / 2012, Celebs


Randy Jennings is a die-hard Arnold Schwarzenegger fan.  Randy runs the TheArnoldFans, the #1 Arnold Schwarzenegger fan site in the world.

Why am I writing about Randy and Arnold here, you ask?  (And I’m glad you did.)  Because Randy is also a Stallone fan and my guess is that Randy’s new book, Arnold’s Army will appeal to Stallone fans as well as those of the Austrian Oak. 

Randy provides an entire chapter to the Stallone – Schwarzenegger feud that ran for years.  Randy also covers the subsequent friendship of the two action superstars, Arnold’s appearance in The Expendables and Expendables II and his co-starring role with Sly in The Tomb. 

I’ve had the good fortune to get an advance look at Arnold’s Army and give it a thumb’s up. – Craig

Alexis Ziritt and Rambo

Alexis Ziritt makes his first appearance in my Stallone Theme Sketch Collection. Alexis is the co-founder of Fistful Apparel and the indie comics co-op Calavera Comics. When I saw that Alexis was taking sketch card commissions, I decided to get on board for a couple.  I asked Alexis to pick two from Jack Carter, John Rambo and Cobra.  Alexis liked the theme and decided to do all three. 

You can see more of Alexis’ art here.

Craig / / 2012, Celebs

On September 21, 2012, Vulture shared a story making the rounds about The Time Javier Bardem Asked Sylvester Stallone for Acting Advice.

Bardem and his brother were at a Hollywood party. Bardem was still a virtual unknown actor in the United States.  After working up the nerve Bardem approached Sly and asked for acting advice…

Stallone paused and then said, “Never forget about the money.”  – Craig

 

Kate Bosworth Joins Sly’s Homefront

Craig / / 2012, Celebs, Homefront

On September 21, 2012, Digital Spy posted Kate Bosworth Joins James Franco in Homefront. If you’re wondering why this news is appearing on the SZ, it’s because the movie is Homefront with a script by Sly, who is also on board as a producer. – Craig


 


Sly to Write, Direct & Star in Hunter!

Craig / / 2012, Hunter

Bloody Disgusting has reported that…

  • Stallone and Lionsgate have inked up a deal to fast track Hunter for 2014 release date. Stallone is set to star, write and direct, which will be filmed in 3-D.

I really hope this pans out. Hunter was written by James Byron Huggins specifically with Sly in mind. It’s an awesome book that will translate into a very cool movie.

  • “A beast is loose somewhere north of the Arctic Circle. It has already decimated a secret research facility and annihilated a squad of elite military guards. And the raging creature is headed south toward civilization, ready to wreak bloody devastation. It is a job Hunter cannot turn down, but he soon discovers that his prey is terror incarnate, a half-human abomination created by a renegade agency through a series of outlawed genetic experiments. It has man’s cunning, a predator’s savageness, and a prehistoric power that has transcended the ages.”

Let’s hope everything lines up and Hunter gets made with Stallone at the helm. – Craig
