Sly is the Alpha Male

Craig / / 2012, Celebs, Expendables 2

On July 5, 2012, the Belfast Telegraph posted a piece titled, “Sylvester Stallone is the Alpha Male.”  Here are a few tidbits:

  • “With any wolf pack, there’s an alpha male,” he (Expendables 2 director, Simon West) told Total Film Magazine. “No matter how tough the wolves are, there’s always an alpha male. And Sly is that alpha wolf.”
  • “I think we are all competitive in a lot of ways but there’s a hierarchy on the film based on experience,” he (Dolph Lundgren) explained. “Nobody challenged that, or had issues with that. Stallone is heavily involved with every aspect of the film.”
  • “Sly’s the big chief, he knows what he wants,” Jason Statham…
  • “There’s a lot of alphas here, no one wants to be outdone,” Sylvester confessed. “They’re on camera, bringing their A-game. What I can bring to the table is advice, because I wrote these characters. I can say, ‘Try it like this…'”



Sly Wins Expendables Suit

Craig / / Uncategorized

Way back in October of 2011, we posted that a Connecticut screenwriter had sued Sly claiming “The Expendables” closely resembles a screenplay he wrote called “The Cordoba Caper.” I am happy to report that a judge has rejected the suit and has stated that a more formal ruling will be forthcoming.
