  2. Nick Martinelli from Rhinestone
  3. Lincoln Hawk from Over the Top

  5. Joe the Lion from Zookeeper

Sly, John Herzfeld and “Reach Me” Kickstarter

John Herzfeld is one of Sly’s oldest friends — they met at the University of Miami when both were students there.  Sly and John have remained friends over the years.  

John Herzfeld is best known as a writer/director on films such as 15 Minutes (starring Robert Deniro); 2 Days in the Valley and Inferno: The Making of The Expendables.   

Herzfeld has been working to get his movie Reach Me made.  Herzfeld has filmed most of Reach Me, but wants to add a few more touches and so he’s gone to Kickstarter to raise the additional funds.

Reach Me stars Sylvester Stallone, Lauren Cohen, Terry Crews, Cary Elwes, Elizabeth Henstridge, Tom Berenger, Kyra Sedgwick, Kelsey Grammer, Thomas Jane, Tom Sizemore, Danny Aiello, Danny Trejo and Nelly.

Below is Herzfeld’s pitch and here’s a link to his Kickstarter page.  How often does the chance come along to help get a movie made… especially a movie featuring Sylvester Stallone?  I’m in.
