Arnold vs Sly

Craig / / Sly Fan
Earlier this week I received the following e-mail:

Hey, stumbled upon your website via Google earlier and figured that I would send you over an email. Awesome website! My friends and I have recently started up an Arnold Versus Sly website and thought you might want to check it out.

I’ve checked out the site and it looks like fun… although they have Arnold ahead 3-2 at this point in the movie battles. – Craig

Craig / / 2008, Fan Art

Over the years Gerardo Moreno has created quite a few pieces of Stallone art, which he has always been gracious to share with us. Gerardo put together a slide show of the art that you can see above. Thanks for Gerardo for sharing his talents. We hope to see more Stallone art in the future. – Craig

Rambo Sculpture Selling Out!

Last week I posted about the Rambo statue from Hollywood Collectibles Group being available for pre-order. Shortly after the post, the following e-mail arrived:

Hi Craig,

Thanks for that!

The statue is now getting very close to being sold out for the whole production run.

I have a pre production sample from the factory & it looks great – just like the paint master. So it is now in production.

So if any of your guys want one with the discount, they need to be quick! This has sold through very quickly and I would imagine will sell for more down the line on the secondary market. Especially when Rambo 5 comes out!

Best,

Mark

Remember SZONErs, to get your discount enter “R412” (case sensitive for the “R”) when ordering. Thanks to Mark and the great folks at Hollywood Collectibles Group for hooking us up! – Craig

Craig / / 2008, Sly Fan
Edmundo is a long time Brazilian Sylvester Stallone fan who discovered the StalloneZone four years ago. Edmundo has started up his own site which you can see here. Check it out and let him know that I send ya! – Craig

PS – I almost forgot to mention the sweet Bill Pruitt painting used in his logo.


Sly as The Dark Knight

Craig / / 2008, Sly Fan
Frank Miller, the genius behind such comic book classics as “Batman: Year One,” “The Dark Knight Returns,” “Sin City,” and many other classic tales has been riding high on the success of movie adaptations of his work. Miller recently told a reporter that if “The Dark Knight Returns” was to make it to the big screen, he’d love to see Sylvester Stallone in the title role. Miller was quoted as saying, “I loved ‘Rocky Balboa.’ This wounded warrior, that’s what Batman is in ‘Dark Knight Returns’… Just that mouth of his, the scowl and the way it would look in a mask.”

Of course this is just speculation on Miller’s part. I can’t imagine that Miller’s “The Dark Knight Returns” would be heading for the big screen at this point due to the fact that Christopher Nolan’s version did so well. What would be cool though is for an animated “The Dark Knight Returns” be made using Miller’s designs and story. Even if it wasn’t done for theatrical release, as long as it wasn’t geared down for little kids, it could work. And you know you’d love to hear Stallone’s voice coming from The Dark Knight. This would be a great project for HBO or Showtime, or even FX.

PS – And, you just know I’d love to see Miller and Stallone working on any project!
