Update on “Expendables” Screenplay Suit

Craig / / 2014, Expendables

On December 31, 2013, Entertainment Law Digest posted a piece titled, “Here’s Hollywood!  Credits…Money… Truth.” 

The piece is about the lawsuit Millennium Films filed against screenwriter, David Callaham and the Writers Guild, “claiming the Guild falsely gave him (Callaham) sole credit for the story and top credit for the screenplay of the 2010 movie “The Expendables,” though Sylvester Stallone was its primary writer… Stallone is not a party to the lawsuit.

This will be interesting to see how it plays out.

5 Essential Sylvester Stallone Films

Craig / / 2013, Cop Land, Expendables, First Blood, Get Carter, John Rambo, Nighthawks, Rambo, Rocky, Rocky Balboa

On January 30, 2013, AZCentral.com posted 5 Essential Sylvester Stallone Films.  Their choices [with embeded trailers]:

  1. Rocky
  2. First Blood
  3. Cop Land
  4. Rocky Balboa
  5. The Expendables
While it would be hard to argue with their list, I think I would pair Rocky/Rocky Balboa and First Blood / Rambo.  This would open up two slots and I’d add: Get Carter and Nighthawks. – Craig

The Franchize is Expendable

Craig / / 2013, Craig's Sly Art, Expendables

Jerry Gaylord aka The Franchize makes his first, but not his last appearance in my Stallone Sketch Gallery with his take on Sly as Barney Ross from The Expendables.

I highly recommend Jerry to all sketch collectors.  He quickly responds to e-mails, his turnaround time is quick and he packages the art to ensure it arrives safely.

To check out more of Jerry’s art, head here. – Craig

Craig / / 2012, Expendables

On 12.28.12, the JDJournal posted Stallone Wins “The Expendables” Lawsuit.  From the opening paragraph:

U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan reaffirmed his dismissal of a lawsuit accusing Sylvester Stallone of plagiarizing the screenplay of one Marcus Webb, to create the 2010 movie, “The Expendables.” The federal court rejected Webb’s claims of “The Expendables” having “striking similarities” to his “The Cordoba Caper.”
