Robert De Niro And Sylvester Stallone May Get Back In The Ring For Grudge Match
1 June 2012 7:03 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
There's been a rumor floating around for a few years that Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone, the actors behind two of the most famous boxers to ever it make it onscreen, might get back in the ring for a film called Grudge Match, in which they'd play a pair of aging boxers who go after each other in one last match. There's been no more word about the project in years, but The Wrap is reporting that there might be life in it yet-- they say both Stallone and De Niro are in negotiations to star, with Get Smart and Anger Management director Peter Segal on board to guide it. The presence of Segal, whose background is almost entirely in comedies, suggests Grudge Match would be a lot goofier than either Rocky or Raging Bull, and it's kind of hard to imagine Stallone and De Niro stepping back into »
Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro to star in new boxing movie?

Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro are currently in negotiations to star in a new boxing movie. The stars of Rocky and Raging Bull are reported to be close to signing on to appear in Grudge Match, a comedy about two retired fighters who return to the ring for one more bout. Written by Entourage creator Doug Ellin and directed by Peter Segal (Get Smart), The Wrap reports that the movie is likely to begin filming next year. Stallone's representatives have stated he is currently considering (more) »

De Niro And Stallone To Face Off In ‘Grudge Match’?
31 May 2012 3:42 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
The notion has been floating around for a couple of years, but now it is confirmed that Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro are in negotiations to star in the upcoming boxing film, Grudge Match. The stars of two of the industry’s most successful boxing-related films of all time, Rocky (1976) and Raging Bull (1980), respectively, could touch gloves on our screens as early as 2014, with filming pencilled in for early 2013.
Warner Bros have recruited Entourage writer, Doug Ellin, to develop the script, and Peter Segal (50 First Dates) to helm the film, which is rumoured to revolve around two retired fighters – you guessed it – returning to the ring for one final bout. This arguably odd combination of writer and director suggests that the tone of the movie will lean more toward comedy than drama, but at this moment in time it is pure speculation.
Stallone (65) and De Niro (69) are still very much in demand, »

‘Grudge Match’ Could Pit Rocky Balboa vs. Jake La Motta
31 May 2012 3:30 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
In the grand tradition of Freddy vs. Jason and Aliens vs. Predator comes Grudge Match, which pits boxing legends Rocky Balboa and Jake La Motta against each other in an epic battle to the death. Or, probably not. But Grudge Match is an upcoming boxing comedy coming from Tommy Boy and Anger Management director Peter Segal. It tells the story of two retired boxers who step into the ring one last time in order to finally settle an old score. It’s kind of like that episode of The Cosby Show where Combustible Huxtable races Tailwind Turner one final time, but with punching instead of running. The real exciting news about this project isn’t that it’s a boxing comedy about old dudes, though, it’s the names that are being looked at to play the two leads. The Wrap is reporting that Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro are currently in negotiations. These »

Stallone and DeNiro Get in the Ring for Grudge Match
31 May 2012 2:07 PM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Well, if you thought a Raging Bull sequel was a questionable idea, allow me to present you with an even more ludicrous movie pitch. How about a potential Rocky / Raging Bull crossover? It would seem that this very premise is on its way to becoming a reality, albeit not in the exact form you're probably thinking. Sylvester Stallone and Robert DeNiro are reportedly in talks to star in a boxing flick called Grudge Match, where the two would play a pair of retired boxers who decide to go mano-a-mano one last time. The project has been in development at Warner Brothers for a couple of years, although it is only now starting to gain momentum. Oh, there's one other thing I forgot to mention: it's going to be a comedy. According to The Wrap, Peter Segal (Get Smart, The Longest Yard) is attached to direct Grudge Match with Mark Steven Johnson »

Robert De Niro might also make fun of his boxing movie past alongside Sylvester Stallone
31 May 2012 12:16 PM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
With his starring role in Luc Besson's Malavita ensuring that Robert De Niro will soon get the chance to play his gangster movie past for laughs again, the actor has moved on to other ways in which he can point out that he is old now and how this is very funny, reportedly even roping in Sylvester Stallone to join him for a round of intentionally diminished returns. The Wrap says that the erstwhile stars of Raging Bull and Rocky are in negotiations to finally face off in a boxing movie—one that, decades ago, would have been merely »

Two of the world’s most recognizable boxers aren’t actually boxers at all – they just played some in the movies. According to The Wrap, Sylvester Stallone, who wrote and starred in Rocky, and Robert De Niro, who played Jake La Motta in Scorsese’s Raging Bull, are in talks to step back into the ring for [...]

Sylvester Stallone Joining Robert De Niro For Boxing Comedy?
31 May 2012 10:22 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
If you've ever dreamed of a day when Rocky would face off against Jake La Motta, your wish may be coming true. A new report is saying that Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro are in talks to star in "Grudge Match," a boxing comedy being set up at Warner Bros.
The Wrap has the news, saying that the movie is about two retired boxers who plan one last match against one another. Stallone is famous for writing and starring in the movie "Rocky," while De Niro also portrayed a boxer in Martin Scorsese's classic, "Raging Bull."
There's no official confirmation on the casting yet, and the movie isn't even officially greenlit, but this seems like it would be a match made in heaven if it did happen.

Movie News: Cool 'Sinister' Motion Poster; Stallone and De Niro in ‘Grudge Match,’ Angelina Jolie’s ‘Maleficient’ Prince Cast; More

Rocky vs. Raging Bull: Who better than Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro to play retired boxers facing off in one last bout? The two are in negotiations to star in Grudge Match, a comedy to be directed by Peter Segal (Anger Management, Get Smart). Stallone, who brought Rocky Balboa out of retirement in 2006, will be 66 years old in July and De Niro turns 69 in August; neither, happily, have indicated any desire to retire from acting. [The Wrap] The Unknown Prince: If you’ve never heard of Brenton Thwaites, don’t worry, you will.

Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone in Talks for Grudge Match
31 May 2012 7:42 AM, PDT | Movie Cultists | See recent Movie Cultists news »
We could be getting ready to see the fight of the century as the Raging Bull gets ready to go toe-to-toe with the Italian Stallion.
The idea of Warner Bros. Grudge Match seemed to come and go late last year but it looks like the ball is rolling again, with Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone in negotiations for the film that puts two retired fighters in the ring again for one final match. Director Peter Segal is tentatively scheduled to start shooting early next year, with Entourage creator Doug Ellin working on the most recent draft
Segal and Ellin are both associated with comedy so it looks like Grudge Match is going to be jabbing at our funny bone instead of our heartstrings, which doesn’t really bother me too much. I think the movie sounds like it could be an awesome, hard-hitting (sorry for the pun) drama but »

Boxing Comedy 'Grudge Match' With Sylvester Stallone & Robert De Niro Surfaces Again, Aiming For 2013 Shoot
31 May 2012 6:39 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro have separately starred in two of the most iconic boxing movies of all time — "Rocky" and "Raging Bull," for those of you just now learning what movies are — so, now that both are at a stage in their careers where they will do whatever they please, why not join forces on a boxing movie where they fight each other?
According to The Wrap, that's just what Stallone and De Niro are in negotiations to do, though, for now, we'll have to take their word for it as neither Stallone nor De Niro's representatives will comment on the project. Nevertheless, the report claims that the project is a go for director Peter Segal ("Get Smart," "Anger Management") to direct next year. The film, which has been scripted by a variety of writers (most recently "Entourage" creator Doug Ellin), will see Stallone and De Niro play »

The Wrap is reporting that Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro are in negotiations to star in upcoming Warner Bros. boxing project Grudge Match. I became excited about this as soon as I heard the news.

Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone Confirmed for 'Grudge Match'
30 May 2012 8:15 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Back in October of 2010 we heard about a new boxing comedy from director Peter Segal (Tommy Boy, Anger Management) that would follow two retired boxers who return to the ring for a final Grudge Match. At the time, there were rumors floating around that Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone would be the two aged boxers facing off, but that casting seemed like a pipe dream. However, The Wrap says the two stars are now in negotiations to star in the film which looks to shoot early next year. Yes, Raging Bull's Jake La Motta and Rocky Balboa himself will throw punches in the boxing ring on the big screen. Of course, the prospect is pretty enticing, but my only worry is the involvement of Segal as a director. His last truly great comedy was Tommy Boy starring the late Chris Farley, though I personally love My Fellow Americans »

Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone in Talks to Film Boxing Movie Grudge Match Early Next Year
30 May 2012 7:55 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
We haven't heard about Grudge Match since October 2010. It was an exciting time, when the rumor surfaced that the stars of the two greatest boxing movies of all time would face off as two retired fighters who step into the ring for one final match. Robert De Niro vs. Sylvester Stallone---Raging Bull vs. Rocky. Here in 2012, The Wrap confirms that De Niro and Stallone are in negotiations, and the production is tentatively scheduled to shoot early next year under director Peter Segal (Get Smart). Even though Segal was tapped as a director, I don't think we knew this is a comedy before today. But that's clear now that Warner Bros. hired Entourage creator Doug Ellin to write the most recent draft. (Kind of. Entourage wasn't funny, but it was nominated for Best Comedy Series three times, so Ellin is purportedly funny. Let's focus on the talent in front of the camera. »

Extended Thoughts on ‘Herbie Goes Bananas’
26 May 2012 2:00 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Directed by Vincent McEveety
Written by Gordon Buford and Don Tait
USA, 1980
I cannot believe that a movie as wrongheaded and idiotic as Herbie Goes Bananas exists. Herbie Goes Bananas is so bad, it makes Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo look like the combined 1940s output of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger (better known as The Archers), from The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp to The Small Back Room. In fact, I’m insulting The Archers’ films by even including them in the same sentence as anything pertaining to Herbie Goes Bananas. I could, frankly, spend this entire column cataloguing the many things in the world that are more enjoyable, funny, exciting, and lively than Herbie Goes Bananas. But while it’d be fun…well, I’m not sure how to finish that sentence. Let’s just assume the alternate-universe column where I tell you exactly »

‘Need for Speed’ Movie Revs Engines; Looking to Hire ‘Act of Valor’ Director
24 May 2012 9:57 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Every great competitor has an equal rival attached to their legacy. One might argue that without one, the other would not exist. Ali had Foreman, Jobs had Gates, Marvel has DC and Mario has King Koopa (sorry, Luigi). In Tinseltown, where the mantra seems to be “anything you can do we can do better”, we see rival studios trying to one-up each-other all the time. For every Raging Bull there’s a Rocky. In the latest tale of rivalry, Dreamworks studios will attempt to do battle with the Fast and the Furious series by creating its own race car franchise – but not just any franchise.
Get ready for the Need for Speed.
According to Variety, Dreamworks is close to nabbing director Scott Waugh for the film version of the ...

Preparing for Film School at Tribeca Flashpoint Academy

1. Watch as many movies as you can. At the core of every great filmmaker is a great student of films, so this is always the first bit of advice I give my future students. Before you pick up a camera, you should certainly get to know the greats (like Chaplin, Kubrick, Scorsese and Spielberg, to name a few), but also try to venture outside of your cinematic comfort zone. Explore the breadth of the classic American and foreign cinema canon. Pay close attention to similarities and differences among filmmakers of different generations, styles, and cultural backgrounds. But perhaps most importantly, get intimately familiar with what you, the film watcher, love to experience at the movies. To get you started, here are my picks for the top six essential films for aspiring film students (in alphabetical order): ♦ Casablanca ♦ Citizen Kane ♦ The Godfather ♦ Psycho ♦ Raging Bull ♦ Singin' in the Rain For even more selections, »
