SLY‘s on the hunt – this time for second blood – as Jack Carter, a Vegas mobster trying to find his brother’s killer. his quest brings him to Seattle, where he reunites with his brother’s wife [RICHARDSON] and daughter [LEIGH COOK]. Carter is a remake of the 1971 British film of the same name, which starred MICHEAL CAINE, who appears here as a club owner. Other cast members include ALAN CUMMING and MICKEY ROURKE, along with GRETCHEN MOL as Carter‘s moll. And behind the scenes, Battlefield Earth producer ELIE SAMAHA hopes to ride STALLONE‘s coattails out of the vanity-project dead end he drove into with JOHN TRAVOLTA.

US Weekly has a tidbit called “Diner to the Stars” in the Hot Stuff section. The piece is accompanied by very small pics of SLY, MEL GIBSON, DARYL HANNAH and LEONARDO DICAPRIO. Apparently the above named celebs have all been seen eating at a diner called Roni’s on Santa Monica Blvd. in Beverly Hills.

Cinescape.com posted an item today from the L.A. Times saying that : SLY and ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER have been talking about working on a project together. ARNOLD wants an all-star ensemble cast movie, ala “The Great Escape.” SLY is said to prefer that they appear as adversaries. It’s further reported that it all comes down to when the two agree on a script for the project.
What’s interesting to me about this item, is that the SZ reported (via AIN’T IT COOL NEWS) almost the exact same thing way back on December 12, 1999. The question now becomes: is this the same item finally making it’s way to the “mainstream” press or has their been further movement towards the project coming to fruition? Stay tuned for further details!

Garth over at Dark Horizons has posted several STALLONE items this past week.
On Wednesday, he scored some cool photos from the set of “Champs.” “Mr. Fast Cars & Fast Women” sent in three shots (one of which is reprinted above). Garth also printed the news from Chud.com that SLY may team with VIN DIESEL for “X vs Sever.”
On Thursday “LordBeer” submitted his report of “Champs” filming at the Target Grand Prix.
Friday saw one of the strangest items in a while… apparently JACKIE CHAN mentioned in an interview in the UK that he and SLY had been talking about teaming for “Rambo IV.”
For full details on these items check out Dark Horizons.
I certainly hope that the SLY /JACKIE CHAN / “Rambo IV” item never comes to reality!

Ernest “Jazzman” Resendes sent in the two pictures posted on this page with the following captions:
The piece in the Globe reads : “SYLVESTER STALLONE, who always wanted to play Jesus , was turned down for the role as a televangalist by a studio honcho, who told him , “SLY, you’re a muscle star. ”
The caption in the National Examiner reads : “BURT REYNOLDS is lucky to have a wheely good friend like SLY STALLONE on the set of their upcoming movie Champs.”
Thanks once again to Jazz for sharing with us!

The August 8th issue of Star contains the following item in the STARpeople section:
SYLVESTER STALLONE, 54, and BURT REYNOLDS, 64, are in Toronto filming Champs, a film about aging race-car drivers who go back into the business. They were shooting at the racetrack and throngs of eager women showed up to watch the proceedings. When a reporter remarked to SLY that it was obvious that he’s still popular with the ladies, SLY gallantly remarked, “This time around they’re knocking me over to get to REYNOLDS! In this business, you expect popularity to give way to younger guys – but not to OLDER guys!” Funny thing is, a few minutes later, PAUL NEWMAN, 75, arrived at the track and the female fans pushed EVERYONE aside to get to him!
