Rare Footage of Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers Training For Rocky
20 May 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Fight choreography videos are always cool to watch because you never truly appreciate the amount of work that goes into the final sequence you see on screen. Boxing movies are almost equally as captivating because you can't improvise the outcome. Every move has to have meaning and a result or the fight will look fake. So actors have to memorize round by round what they're going to do. It can really grill an actor both mentally and physically, especially when you're simultaneously directing the film. Watch this clip of Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers walking through a fight for Rocky!

Exploitation Alley: Maniac(1980)!!
20 May 2013 2:57 AM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
Holy moly, this Exploitation Alley article is long overdue, as it’s been a month since the last one (sorry!). In anticipation of Franck Khalfoun’s Maniac remake coming out next month, I thought that I would revisit the original 1980 film and spend some time on it. So hold onto your scalps, and watch out for crazy Frank Zito, because he just might blow your head off..it’s time for Exploitation Alley!
Maniac follows Frank Zito, played brilliantly (and co-written) by the late Joe Spinell (Cruising, Rocky, The Godfather). Frank is an overweight, greasy looking guy who lives alone, and well…murders women (and sometimes men) and cuts the scalps off of said ladies to place on his mannequins, along with their wardrobe as well. Frank completely exudes a sketchy as hell demeanor but never quite takes it over the top, instead turns in a really subtle yet sometime erratic performance. »

Which Movie Characters Deserve a Statue in Their Hometown?
13 May 2013 8:00 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Remember the RoboCop statue that fans funded through Kickstarter and is slated to be erected somewhere in Detroit? It's nearly finished. Via Screen Crush we have an update on the monument, which stands 10 feet tall and is almost complete, as you can see above. The idea of putting up statues of fictional movie characters has been met with controversy. The bronze likeness of Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) made for the Rocky movies was originally denied permanent placement in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art because it was deemed a cheap and ugly prop rather than "art." And originally the idea of a RoboCop statue was publicly rejected by the mayor of Detroit. But there's no reason to dismiss these landmarks simply because they're...

Dev Goel wants a superhit debut like Stallone's 'Rocky'
13 May 2013 1:49 AM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
Mumbai, May 13: Dev Goel, son of director Jyotin Goel, is set to make his debut as an actor and writer with comedy "Hum Hai Raahi Car Ke". He says he will be very happy if his debut film also becomes a hit just like the film "Rocky" proved for the Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone.
Stallone also made his debut as an actor and writer in Hollywood with the 1976-released film "Rocky". The film was a sleeper hit and even won three Oscars, including one for the best picture. It made Stallone a big star and went on to have five sequels.
All these five sequels were written by Stallone and also starred him.

‘Rad’ bunnyhops into our hearts and becomes a nostalgic gem
11 May 2013 10:21 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Directed by Hal Needham
Written by Sam Bernard and Geoffrey Edwards
1986, USA
It’s going to take a lot more than skill for Cru Jones to conquer the toughest BMX challenge in the world. It’s going to take a miracle.
Rad, made three years after Nicole Kidman’s BMX Bandits, remains the most popular BMX film to date; which isn’t saying much since there have only been a handful of BMX films ever made. A product of the 80′s, Rad seems more interested in ramping up as much product placement as it could squeeze in, than in character development or plot – but longtime Stuntman-turned-director Hal Needham (Smokey and the Bandit, Cannonball Run) does the best he can with the script given to him. In fact, Rad fits so well into Needham’s oeuvre that it’s no wonder he offers a stunning opening 8 minute BMX montage and »

Clive Owen Joins Katherine Heigl For Survivor
5 May 2013 5:32 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Veteran actor and all around badass Clive Owen (Sin City, Children Of Men) is set to co-star opposite Katherine Heigl (Knocked Up, The Ugly Truth) in Survivor for director James McTeigue (V For Vendetta, The Raven).
The film follows a State Department employee (Heigl) working at the American Embassy in London who loses her team in a bombing attack. After she is framed for a series of crimes for which she is innocent, she embarks on a desperate journey to clear her name and prevent an attack on New Year’s Eve. Production company Nu Image will present the film to prospective financiers at the Cannes Film Festival. Legendary producer/director Irwin Winkler (Rocky, Goodfellas) will produce the project.
Something about the pairing of Clive Owen and Katherine Heigl is very bothersome to me. In her relatively short career, Heigl’s reputation as something of an unappreciative and arrogant diva precedes her. »

'Rocky' Musical Heads to Broadway
29 April 2013 2:07 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Proving that no movie is safe from the musical treatment, “Rocky,” the Oscar-winning classic that made Sylvester Stallone a star, is set to make its Broadway debut. The new musical, produced by Stallone, premiered last year in Germany and will open on Broadway in February 2014. It follows the same story as the film, with struggling boxer Rocky Balboa taking on heavyweight champ Apollo Creed in a bout meant to prove Rocky's worth to the world, and himself. A trailer for the musical hit the web this week, featuring interviews with Stallone, director Alex Timbers, and lyricist Lynn Ahrens, and short clips of songs and scenes from the show. Apollo Creed dances to a disco number and Rocky sings that he must “make a new start” and “fight from the heart.” It all seems a bit cheesy, but the producers say that “Rocky” is a universal tale of love and inspiration. »

'Rocky' joins list of musicals based on famous movies. Good idea?

You know what Broadway isn’t missing? Another musical based on a movie.
But it seems, asked for or not, the Great White Way will be getting yet another show based originally on a hit movie. Over the weekend, news broke that plans were in the works to adapt Rocky, based on the 1976 Sylvester Stallone-starring boxer classic. The cast hasn’t been announced, but the show had a well-received world premiere last fall in Germany (hopefully containing a dance at some point in the show to “Eye of the Tiger”). Some may remain skeptical, but the creative team, particularly »
