Schomberg Rocky Posters Coming

Craig / / 2011, Rocky 5

Earlier this week I received an e-mail from Tom and Cynthia Schomberg:

  • Tom and I have begun a new project, which is to be released 5/2/2011.  Since the 12″ ROCKY sculptures are sold out, we decided to create a ROCKY poster for our ROCKY fans.  The poster is a vintage photo of Stallone sitting at the base of the ROCKY statue during one of the breaks while filming “Rocky V”. 
  • The poster measures 15 1/2″ x 33″ .  The introductory price is $18.98 with free shipping in the USA.  We are also giving a special shipping price to our international patrons.

Here is a link to their site.  The posters aren’t on the site yet, but we wanted SZoners to get a heads-up so that they can be first in line!

It’s interesting to note that Broadway World has theorized that Sly was with Whoopi on opening night because he has started work again to get Rocky made into a Broadway musical.

Walter Hill May Take a Headshot

Craig / / 2011, Bullet to the Head, Headshot

On April 6, 2011, Deadline reported that Sly was in talks with Walter Hill to take on the directoral regins of “Headshots.” 

  • Stallone said he has had serious meetings with the helmer: “I completely respect Walter’s incredible body of work and hopefully this legendary director will become attached to the project.”

Sly was also quoted as to why Wayne Kramer left the picture:

  • Word was that Kramer exited because he didn’t see eye to eye creatively with Stallone, who’ll star. Said Stallone: “Initially, Mr. Kramer was hired to direct a dark comedy; however his vision was much darker and exceptionally more violent than how the project was originally conceived. It was decided that it would be better for everyone to move on and consequently Mr. Kramer was dismissed by producers earlier this week. There were no volatile clashes, it was simply a professional parting of the ways.”
