Another “Victory” Victory
The DailyRecord.co.uk reports that “Victory” has again been voted the all time best football [aka soccer] movie. Here’s what they had to say about the movie:
ESCAPE To Victory has been voted the best football movie of all time by film fans.
The star-studded World War II drama told the story of a team of allied prisoners of war forced to take on the German national squad in a showpiece propaganda match.
But they turn the tables by using the event to plot an escape bid.
The cast featured movie stars Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone, alongside a host of football heroes, including Pele, Bobby Moore, Ossie Ardiles and Scotland’s own John Wark.
The 1981 movie topped a poll of more than 1000 members of DVD rental website LOVEFiLM.com to mark the cinema release today of Brian Clough biopic The Damned United.

50 Cent Replaced by Terry Crews
Harry @ AICN received an e-mail from Sly saying that Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent has been replaced by Terry Crews for the role of Hale Caesar in “The Expendables.”
Crews is a former pro football player for the San Diego Chargers and will be seen in the highly anticipated “Terminator Salvation.” Some SZoners may remember my praise for Crews for his role in “Street Kings.” I look forward to Crews as an “Expendable.”

Sly on Kurt Russell & “The Expendables”
Hey SZoners,
Here’s the latest from Sly:
I know that many people on the site have asked for Kurt Russell. I asked for him too. Actually, I was taken aback when asked to put the request in a letter and send it to his agent. Subsequently, I was called back by the agent several days later after refusing to send a letter and he said Kurt Russell is not interested in ‘ensemble acting’ at this time.
So, People, I came, I saw, I failed.
Best,
Sly
