Sly and Harry

Craig / / 2003, Celebs, Spy Kids 3D

HARRY KNOWLES is the man behind the Ain’t It Cool News website. Over the years he has got to meet many, many stars. He’s been flown to locations to be on set during filming and he’s been wined and dined at movie premieres. Until today I’ve never really been envious. Today HARRY spent time on the set of “Spy Kids III” with SYLVESTER STALLONE! Not only did HARRY get to hang out with SLY for about five hours. but he also got to watch filming with his good buddy ROBERT RODRIGUEZ! For full details click [HERE].

Stallone Set to Play “The Toymaker” for Robert Rodriguez

Craig / / 2003, Celebs, Spy Kids 3D

Sylvester Stallone has signed to play a villain, called the Toymaker, for “Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over” for Robert Rodriguez.

Rodriguez was quoted as saying…

“I’ve always been a big fan of Sylvester Stallone.  His larger-than-life persona will be a great addition to the ‘Spy Kids 3-D’ universe.”

“Spy Kids 3-D” is set for release next July.

I’m excited that SLY will have the opportunity to work with ANTONIO BANDERAS [again] and ROBERT RODRIGUEZ. RODRIGUEZ is an excellent director and I hope that this is just the first time that SLY teams with him!

Drago to Return?

Craig / / 2003, Celebs, Rocky 6

From Dark Horizons today:

Dolph Lundgren‘s Next: Confucius say – Dolph‘s career fell in woods and no-one around to hear it, did it make sound?  Guess not. The 45 year-old 6’6″ Swede has three projects set for release this year and recently discussed one of those with B & K Sports Magazine – “I’ve done Alien Agent. I play a man who must stop a gateway opening between two galaxies. It’s a science fiction movie of sorts. Sidney Furie is the director, and we have an amazing cast”. Direct to video you say? Maybe, but another project he may be involved in won’t be so misfortunate: “Sly‘s writing a new Rocky. The 6th one, and tells me he’s going to try and write Ivan Drago in it. There’s no way I’d miss out on an opportunity on sparring with Balboa again. In my opinion, Rocky IV, was one of the best Rocky sequels. Not the least – the better of my films. If we can get those two guys back in the ring again, we could have something special. And from what Sly tells me, it’s going to be good. I look forward to doing it”. Thanks to ‘Daeagel’

Thanks to John La Cour who was first with the tip and to the many others who also sent it in!

StalloneZone Exclusive: Sly Stallone Cameo for Luc Besson’s “Taxi 3”

Craig / / 2002, Celebs, StalloneZone, Taxi 3

SZoner, and long-time Sylvester Stallone fan, Alain Haimovici attended one of Sly‘s press conferences recently while Sly was in France to attend a film festival. Alain has this to report:

“Sly will do a cameo in the French movie Taxi 3 (he wil play his own role), the second sequel of Taxi directed by Gérard Krawczyk, starring Samy Nacery and Frederic Diefenthal. It’s a movie about a taxi driver without a licence (Nacery) and his friend, a cop (Diefenthal). It’s a mix of action and humour.

All the movies take place in Marseilles, France. They’re produced by Luc Besson (director of La Femme Nikita, The Fifth Element…) and producer of The Transporter.

Sly also said he could star in movies produced by Besson in the future.

My opinion : Taxi is a good movie, very entertaining, but Besson, a great director, produced often bad movies (no stories, just action). So Sly sholud be very careful…“


Thanks Alain!
