Sly Signs 2-Film Deal

Craig / / 2008
Gregg Goldstein of The Hollywood Reporter, in a story published today, announced that Sly has signed “a lucrative deal to direct and star in two action films with his ‘Rambo’ producers Danny Dimbort, Avi Lerner and Trevor Short of Nu Image/Millennium Films.” Several scripts are being considered and the ones selected are expected to be fast-tracked into production.

Sly was quoted as saying: “The past year and a half of working with Avi, his partners Danny and Trevor and his film family has been nothing but a high point for me and my career and an extremely rewarding experience,” Stallone said. “Avi is a real gentleman and a man of his word.”

David Morrell Reviews Rambo

Craig / / 2008, Rambo
David Morrell is the best selling author who created the character of Rambo in his novel First Blood. Although it was never his intent for Rambo to live past that tale, Mr. Morrell was involved with the production and wrote novelizations for Rambo II and Rambo III. In between and after Mr. Morrell went on to write many more excellent novels in several genres. He is definitely not a one trick pony. So I was disappointed when I learned that he wouldn’t be involved in the production of “Rambo.”

After seeing “Rambo” I was pleased to note that David Morrell prominently received credit [twice] for creating the character . Still, I wondered what Mr. Morrell thought about the new movie. I hoped he enjoyed it. He did. In fact you can read his review here. [And for those of you who wondered about my review — Mr. Morrell summed it up for me better than I could.] Now if only David Morrell would write a novelization of “Rambo” or even other stories… – Craig

Hi Craig,

Here is my painting I wanted to send in full and with closeups. The 27″x40″ painting was designed as a movie poster for “Rambo”. I did all the graphics over the artwork in photoshop. As always “SLY” is hidden somewhere in the piece.

Thanks.

Bill also sent in the photo above of Peter Manfredo with Bill! Thanks to Bill for sharing. – Craig

Rambo in Spain

Craig / / 2008, Rambo

Hello Craig,

Last week I was in Spain for a holiday. I was in the shopping center Miramar in a place called Fuengirola (near Malaga) when I saw this cool stand for the John Rambo movie at the cinema. Really cool! Maybe you can use this for your great Stallone website?
Regards,
Hein

Hi Craig.


I wrote to you some time ago about the premiere. I’m also a super fan and did research and made it to Vegas for the red carpet!! They gave away a plethora of Rambo souvenirs (Including Rambo cookies) which were all free and fantastic! I’m thrilled that i saw my idol. I never expected I would do so.

Since people were sending their pics in I would be honored to be shown in my old school Rambo shirt at the premiere and am sending my pic of Sly too!
