The valet ran screaming after Sly, but he didn’t hear – and moments later, the REAL owners were screaming at the valet! Meanwhile, after driving a few blocks, Stallone said to himself, “YO! This car ain’t MINE!” He floored it back to the eatery and confronted an enraged Italian couple – whose mouths dropped open when they recognized the superstar car thief.

Variety announced that SYLVESTER STALLONE, making a tentative comeback with current box office champ “Driven,” discharged the William Morris Agency early Monday morning to return to International Creative Management. STALLONE had been represented by Jim Wiatt at William Morris for the last year and a half, having followed him when Wiatt quit ICM.

STALLONE is currently shooting ``Avenging Angelo,” playing a mob bodyguard, and will star in “Dolan’s Cadillac,” which is scheduled to begin production after any industry strikes this summer.

“Dolan’s Cadillac” Confirmed

Craig / / 2001, Avenging Angelo, Unmade Films

On January 30th, the SZ announced that SLY was planning to star in an adaptation of STEPHEN KING’s “Dolan’s Cadillac.” Fans became excited by the prospect of SLY in the role of a Las Vegas kingpin who thinks he’s gotten away with murder.

Well, it wasn’t just STALLONE fans who thought that this was newsworthy! The same day that our story ran, Dark Horizons and Chud posted the news as well! [Chud got their info from DH… and DH was sent the tip by Lilja of The World of Stephen King who had also e-mailed the SZ.]

Yesterday Zorianna Kit of The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that SLY is set to star [and KEVIN BACON is in negotiations to join him] in “Dolan’s Cadillac,” based on a STEPHEN KING novelette. The movie is scheduled to start production in May with writer-director STACY TITLE [“The Last Supper”] directing from her own adaptation.

In “Cadillac,” STALLONE will play a Las Vegas kingpin who thinks he’s gotten away with the murder of an innocent woman, though the spouse of the victim has big revenge plans.
This will be SLY’S fourth film for Franchise. He starred in “Get Carter” as well as the upcoming “Driven” and SLY will start filming “Avenging Angelo” with MADELINE STOWE in mid-April and then begin work on “Dolan’s Cadillac” in May.

“AVENGING ANGELO” NEWS AT DARK HORIZONS

Craig / / 2000, Avenging Angelo, Celebs

On Tuesday (November 28th), Garth over at Dark Horizons posted the following item:

Avenging Angelo: ‘Beast’ scored a short note from author Martyn Burke talking about one of his books which is about to become a movie:

“Just got back from Toronto where they’re setting up locations for the film which will star among others, Sylvester Stallone and probably Andy Garcia, Anthony Quinn and a leading lady who they’re still in the process of casting. Right now they’re leaning toward Madeline Stowe. It was a real departure for Stallone – which was the reason it appealed to me. Shooting begins in late Feb and then moves to Sicily for a couple of weeks to finish in May.”
