SZ Exclusive: Stallone Behind the Scenes Pics

SZoner, “Joe Tanto Hummer” sent in a bunch of pictures that he had taken, over the years, of his visits to Stallone movie premieres, Planet Hollywood openings, and the like. Unfortunately most of the pictures were taken without a flash at night or had glare or something that prevented them from being used. We did want to share these EXCLUSIVE pics from Joe.

This is a cool candid that Tanto picked up of Sly and one of his paintings.

Here’s a shot of Sly and Jen at a 1995 Planet Hollywood opening.

Tanto wanted to be sure that we all got to see this building-sized poster for Tango and Cash!

Thanks to Joe for sharing! – Craig Zablo [September 28, 2002]

Sly Promotes “Avenging Angelo” & Teases “Rambo 4”

Bob Milam and HandsomGQ1 sent in the following:

While teasing his new movie, AVENGING ANGELO, at a French film festival, Sylvester Stallone let it be known he thinks it’s time for a RAMBO 4.

“We’re talking about doing another Rambo because I think it’s time to combine action with politics,” Stallone said. Just what he means by “it’s time” is not exactly clear, but RAMBO 3 dealt with the then current hot subject of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

It’s not known what success Stallone would have in such a venture. A few years ago, he made similar noises about bringing back the ROCKY series with a sixth film, but interest from studios was lacking.

Stallone has been hit by a series of misfired comeback attempts, and it’s been 14 year since the last RAMBO film. Stallone’s most recent comeback attempt, D-TOX, was not even released in theaters. It is coming out later this year on video.

Interesting news… and it looks as if “D-Tox” will get at least a limited release.

“D-Tox” to Hit Theaters!

Craig / / 2002, Celebs, D-Tox, Eye See You

From Fangoria.com [thanks to Andrew B. and Glenn L.]:

Looks like the much-troubled Sylvester Stallone psychothriller EYE SEE YOU (a.k.a. D-TOX) will be hitting big screens after all, albeit in limited play. DEJ, the distribution arm of Blockbuster that will put the movie out on video December 31, will open EYE in Texas and the Detroit area September 20; if it does sufficient business, the release may be expanded. Jim (I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER) Gillespie directed the film, in which Stallone plays a traumatized cop in a remote psychiatric center where the patients are stalked by a serial killer.

Let’s hope the movie does enough business to get a wider release… and at least this will insure that NONE of Sly’s movies have gone direct to video!
