Craig / / 2008, Expendables
Sly announced at the American Film Market convention that he hopes to get Academy Award winner, Forrest Whitaker, for the role of a “devious CIA agent” in his next film “The Expendables.” Sly already has Jason Statham and Jet Li on board and told the crowd: “Whereas the ‘Oceans 11’ films were an ensemble for good looking guys, this is an ensemble for ugly tough guys.” [If only Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin were alive and in their prime!

Jet Li is in final negotiations to join the cast. “The Expendables” begins filming in February and follows a team of mercenaries hired to overthrow a South American dictator. You can read the full report here.

Sly not only believes that Joe Calzaghe will beat Roy Jones Jr. next Saturday in Madison Square Garden, but that Calzaghe is one of the best fighters currently fighting, and that Calzaghe would have been a contender in any era. Strong praise indeed! You can read even more by clicking here. – Craig

Sly on Display

The photo above was taken by Andy Warhol. I’m not sure if that particular photo is part of the pop art exhibition that runs through December 14th at the Zimmerli Art Museum on the college campus of Rutgers, but Polaroid photos taken of Sly by Warhol are part of the exhibition. You can read more about the exhibition here or here. – Craig
