A new Sylvester Stallone action movie is on the cards
Sylvester Stallone has chosen his first film since his Oscar-nominated turn in last year’s Creed. The action star will head to an untitled movie over at STX Entertainment which is being directed by Jim Mickie, the talented filmmaker who brought us Cold In July last year.
Deadline got the scoop on the new headlining project, which will see Stallone play an aging ex-con with more regrets than memories. Upon hearing about his son’s death his solitude is quickly broken as he must now protect the only family he has left and avenge a son he hardly knew. The film has previously been titled Godforsaken, which was written by Daniel Casey.
We don’t know too much about the planned film other than that, but we’ll bring you more news on the new Sylvester Stallone action movie as we get it.
Stallone will next be seen in next summer’s Marvel movie Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2, and will also reprise his iconic role of Rocky Balboa in a sequel to Creed, which is expected to start shooting in 2017. He also has the film Scarpa on the cards, a film which is biopic of Gregory Scarpa, a former capo and enforcer for the Colombo crime family, which will be directed by Brad Furman, and also the animated comedy Animal Crackers, to which he will lend his voice. He also has a new Expendables on the cards, though there hasn’t been a great deal of news on that front for a little.
We’re loving the Stallone renaissance though – long may it continue.
