SZ EXCLUSIVE: “DRIVEN” PREMIERE PHOTOS
Chris Heathcoat is a longtime Sly Stallone fan and STALLONEZONE “regular.” Chris was lucky enough to attend the Driven premiere and generous enough to share his pics with us. (Chris did the same for the Get Carter premiere.
Unfortunately, there was a delay in getting the photos to us… still Chris did capture a REALLY great shot of SLY and and this to say:
“Craig:
Not requesting that it is a must, but if there is anything printed about my feeling about the clearest shot of Sly, as I look at it in my 22 years of experience with him it is this…
…From Fans to Critics, many people look at this man and think of his movies repeating a few quotes from his characters that fascinate them. I however see a man who kept me away form temporary highs and gave me one thrill film a year from 1979 (Rocky II) to 2001 (Driven) and when I see this picture I see a man who proves dreams do come true. Thank you Sylvester Stallone!” – Christopher E. Heathcoat
+++++
And thank you, Chris! – Craig Zablo (May 13, 2001)

SYLVESTERSTALLONE.COM OPENS!
Sly fans have anxiously hoped for an official Sylvester Stallone site for years. Last October while promoting Get Carter, Sly mentioned that he was going to start an officially sanctioned site and that he was able to secure his name to use for the domain (sylvesterstallone.com). This just kicked up the anticipation… and now the wait is over!
SYLVESTERSTALLONE.COM has opened and it is going to make a lot of fans very happy. The site is FLASH intensive, and features a unique design. In addition to sections containing NEWS, a BIOGRAPHY, a FILMOGRAPHY, CHAT, and a MESSAGE BOARD, there is a section with very rare and in some cases exculsive pictures. Additional areas are coming. Hopefully the site will be updated regularly and Sly will have interaction with his many fans. Check it out and tell them that the SZ sent ya!
