\nJames Mangold<\/strong> who directed the just released Wolverine<\/strong><\/em> recently spoke about his experience in getting Stallone<\/strong> for Cop Land<\/strong><\/em>…<\/p>\n

\n

“I didn’t want him in my movie,” [Mangold] laughs. [Mangold] told the agent he thought it was a terrible idea.<\/p>\n

\n

“He said why. I go, ‘He’s a joke, he’s like a Planet Hollywood jacket-wearing, entourage-driving … he hasn’t made a good movie in years.’ I love Sly by the way, he’s a friend to this day, but I felt like I would be nothing but a mockery to my cool friends to be making a movie with Sly.”<\/p>\n

\n

The agent told him to tell this to Stallone’s face, so the two met over dinner in New York. What ?he found was “an incredibly intelligent man”. Mangold changed his mind, but attached ?13 conditions, including that Stallone would have to gain 40-50lbs, he couldn’t change the script, and he could not leave the set early. Not one rule was broken.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
