On January 25, 2013, Belfast Telegraph posted Statham: Homefront a Privilege . If you’re wondering why this news is appearing on the SZ, it’s because the movie is Homefront with a script by Sly, who is also on board as a producer. Here are a few tidbits from the article…

“He (Sly) actually wrote it for himself, which is, for me, an amazing privilege. To be handed a script by Sly that he wrote for himself, that he asked me to do. It’s like wow; this is a real career moment.

 

“This is an Academy Award-winning writer. Yeah, he wrote it for himself and he handed it to me, so for me it was a tremendous thing.”

 

“It’s got James Franco, Winona Ryder, Kate Bosworth, we have a great cast… I think you get quality actors and that’s all dependent on how good the material is.

 

“You get good writing and they all want to come and work.”

On January 17, 2013, Yahoo! Movies posted Stallone vs Schwarzenegger: Did the Action Icons Bet on Whose Film will be Bigger?  Here are a few quotes…

Are there, or has there ever been, two bigger action stars than Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone?  No… and no. And the odds are good there never will be.

 

As members of the same “Expendables” team, the reigning kings of kicking butt may seem all buddy-buddy now, but it hasn’t always been that way. There’s a competitive streak that’s been brewing between them ever since Sly first met Arnold at the 1977 Golden Globes Awards, when as Stallone recounts, the “two piano movers” were seated at the same table…  Schwarzenegger received the Globe for Best Acting Debut in “Stay Hungry,” while Stallone’s breakout film “Rocky” was named Best Picture – Drama.

 

…after all these years, the two are separated by relatively little, in terms of individual lifetime box office gross, with Schwarzenegger’s movies totaling just over $1.7 billion, while Stallone’s have grossed just over $1.8 billion.
