Charisma Carpenter: Sly & The Expendables
Charisma Carpenter was interviewed by Jarett Weiselman for The New York Post on April 20, 2010. Part of the interview focused on her work in The Expendables. Here’s a bit of what Ms. Carpenter had to say about Sly and The Expendables:
It’s a really fast-paced action movie and I think America is just going to love it. Sly’s kind of a genius. I know that he’s done a lot of work – but this is nothing like that. This isn’t Rambo, it isn’t Rocky. I seriously have so much respect for how many hats he was wearing. He wasn’t just acting and directing, but he was physically throwing himself into it. Every night after filming he’d go to the emergency room to basically have a cut on his hand sewn up, or his ankle broken or strained – he just goes and goes and goes. He really is kind of like Rambo!

Stallone & Rourke in a Comedy?
On April 2, 2010, The Sun posted a piece titled Sly Takes Mickey for the Comeback. According to the article, Sly and Mickey Rourke are planning to team up for a comedy. An unnamed source says it’s…
“…about two old washed-up action heroes and how they handle retirement… Clearly there’s an in-joke there and Mickey is very interested in working with Sly again…”
I’m going to file this under, I’ll believe it when I see it. You can read the whole article by going here.
Sly, Piers Morgan & Simon Cowell
Piers Morgan, in a column for dailymail.co.uk, talks about when he and Simon Cowell were having dinner in LA and bumped in to Sly:
Enjoyed another fun night at Soho House – now officially THE coolest place to be in LA – where I bumped into Sylvester Stallone and Simon Cowell.
The former was wearing very large sunglasses.
‘Sly, great to see you,’ I said. ‘Isn’t it a bit dark for those?’
‘Yes, absolutely, but I’ve got a sty on my eye.’
He slowly pulled down the shades to reveal a whopping great big, inflamed bump.
‘In fact, I’m thinking of changing my name to Sty Stallone.’
‘Fancy doing my chat show?’ I asked.
‘Of course,’ he replied. ‘You’re the best.’
Cowell nearly choked on his beer.
‘No, he’s not.’
‘He is.’
‘He’s not. He’s the worst.’
‘He is?’ Sly turned back to me.
‘Sorry, I made a terrible mistake. Apparently you’re the worst.’
Cowell giggled loudly. Little things really do please little minds.

Sly is a Dipper
On February 20, 2010, TimesOnLine posted an article about stars who become the top box office draw and then fall from grace… and then make a comeback. The piece is called Top Ten Box Office Dippers and covers stars from Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. to Meg Ryan. Sly comes in at #6 on the list and this is what they have to say:
Sylvester Stallone The Rocky movies made over a billion worldwide. But his remake of Get Carter didn’t do too well, and by 2001 his face wasn’t even on the US poster for Driven. Return to form? August’s The Expendables, an action hero flick to end them all.
Julie Benz Returning for Next Rambo?
On February 12, 2010, Julie Benz, who co-starred with Sly in Rambo was interviewed by AOL TV. The rumor that Julie was going to return in the next Rambo movie was brought up. Here’s what was said:
I’ve heard a rumor that you’re in ‘Rambo V.’ What’s up with that? I think that people will be shocked to know there’s actually a ‘Rambo V’ coming up. And it looks like Mickey Rourke might be involved. That would be awesome.
I’ve read that they’re definitely doing a ‘Rambo V,’ but my involvement is a rumor. I mean, no one’s approached me, but I would love to work with Stallone again. I had an amazing experience on ‘Rambo IV.’ If they can figure out a way for my character to fit into the storyline that makes sense, I’m there.
You know, it would be pretty cool to see Julie’s character brought back for the next Rambo. There was definitely some chemistry between the two. I can see her character and Rambo interacting the way that Delores Taylor’s character related to Billy Jack. – Craig
