On January 27, 2013, The Miami Herald posted Sylvester Stallone Lures Director Walter Hill Back to Work for Bullet to the Head.  Here are a few tidbits…

“I read the script and said ‘I’m in, as long as you perceive the movie to be an homage to action films of the ’70s and ’80s, and we make it in that spirit — where the engine of the film is certainly not the story, which is preposterous, but the ethical stances of the two lead characters and their opposite world views.”

“Stallone’s [hit man] is not a character to be imitated or admired,” Hill says. “But he is a character who is brutally honest about the world he lives in.

“The endings of this kind of movie are, in a sense, a given,” Hill says. “The fun is getting there. I think of the good guys and bad guys almost doing a little dance. These movies are all musicals, in a way. And also westerns, of course, because the characters are forced to use violence when civility and traditional society don’t work.”

On January 26, 2013, ComicBook.com posted an interview with Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje currently who is soon to be seen with Sylvester Stallone in Bullet to the Head. Here are some tidbits from the interview about working with Sly…

I was definitely intrigued by working with both Stallone and Walter Hill–both of whom are legendary. Walter’s vision and take on a modern throwback action-packed movie was something that really intrigued me. These guys are old school but they deliver in a contemporary way and it’s very no-nonsense.

 

It was a really enjoyable process to work alongside Walter Hill and Stallone because they were very keen to develop a multi-layered and textured character.

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.”
