Expendables 2 panels/presentations were a hit at ComicCon 2012: 


Sage Stallone – Rest in Peace

Craig / / 2012, Celebs, Sage

Sage Stallone has died.  At this point the cause is unclear.  Sage was 36. 

Sage made his movie debut acting with Sly in Rocky V.  Six years later they appeared together on screen in Daylight.  Sage was an actor, director, producer, business man and musician.  Long time StalloneZone readers know that Sage would contact us from time to time and even shared a personal photo of his mom and dad taken in 1971. 

Sage appreciated his fans and was always kind and gracious in our interactions. 

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and fans.  Rest in Peace, Sage.


Sly is the Alpha Male

Craig / / 2012, Celebs, Expendables 2

On July 5, 2012, the Belfast Telegraph posted a piece titled, “Sylvester Stallone is the Alpha Male.”  Here are a few tidbits:

  • “With any wolf pack, there’s an alpha male,” he (Expendables 2 director, Simon West) told Total Film Magazine. “No matter how tough the wolves are, there’s always an alpha male. And Sly is that alpha wolf.”
  • “I think we are all competitive in a lot of ways but there’s a hierarchy on the film based on experience,” he (Dolph Lundgren) explained. “Nobody challenged that, or had issues with that. Stallone is heavily involved with every aspect of the film.”
  • “Sly’s the big chief, he knows what he wants,” Jason Statham…
  • “There’s a lot of alphas here, no one wants to be outdone,” Sylvester confessed. “They’re on camera, bringing their A-game. What I can bring to the table is advice, because I wrote these characters. I can say, ‘Try it like this…'”
