“Cop Land” Gets the Cinephilia Treatment!
Cop Land features one of Sylvester Stallone’s finest performances. Written and directed by James Mangold, Cop Land is a modern day western and Mangold knew that it’s success hinged on the actor cast as Freddy Heflin.
Stallone wanted the role despite the fact that Mangold had zero interest in him. Mangold explained to Stallone all of the reasons he was wrong for the role. Stallone persisted and promised that none of Mangold’s concerns would become reality.
Stallone earned the role and Mangold got his Freddy Heflin. Cop Land surprised critics who’d forgotten or doubted Stallone’s acting chops.
You’re Gonna Be Redeemed: The Jersey Noir and Western Fable of James Mangold’s Cop Land by Travis Woods at Cinephilia and Beyond provides
- Travis Woods’ back story of Cop Land
- Cop Land screenplay
- Cop Land: The Making of an Urban Western
- Rare behind-the-scenes photos
- and much more!

Sly Stallone and “The Tenderloin” Are Coming!
Sly Stallone and his Balboa Productions is teaming with A+E Studios for The Tenderloin, a new television series. Stallone will serve as an executive producer as well as direct several episodes. Stephen Kay, who directed Stallone in Get Carter and whose television credits include Sons of Anarchy and The Shield, will write the pilot and serve as an executive producer.
The Tenderloin follows Charles Becker a turn-of-the-century New York City cop who led the Strong-Arm Squad in keeping order in an area of the city known as the Tenderloin. Think The Shield, except that The Tenderloin is based on real events. Charles Becker was…
…the first and only policeman in U.S. history to be executed for murder.
Sounds like something a lot of us are going to like!
Shamus Murphy Gets Carter!
I got this Jack Carter sketch from the very talented Shamus Murphy at HeroesCon 2016. It was actually the second sketch I got from Shamus at the show. The first was a Rocky Balboa and I’ll post it soon.
