Mystery still surrounds the death of actor Sage Stallone, son of Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone, two days after being found dead at his Los Angeles apartment at the age of 36.
The actor will be remembered mostly by his portrayal of Robert Balboa – son of Rocky in the fifth iteration of the boxing series in 1990. He again starred alongside his father in 1996 disaster film “Daylight” as Vincent, a young con-artist.
Milo Ventimiglia would later portray the elder Robert Balboa in 2006 movie Rocky 6.
His last appearance was in short film “The Agent” in 2010, and before that, in the same year, drama “Promises Written in Water“, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival and was shown at the Toronto Film Festival, though was not released in cinemas.
Sage’s body was found by his housekeeper on Friday afternoon at his apartment in Studio City. Police were called when Sage’s friends had raised...

Sage Stallone, son of actor Sylvester Stallone, has been found dead, The New York Post and TMZ report.
The junior Stallone was reportedly found at home in Los Angeles. TMZ reports that his father is extremely distraught. The Post spoke with Sage Moonblood Stallone's attorney, who said the death came as a complete shock.
"He was in good spirits, and working on all kinds of projects,” George Braunstein told the paper. “He was planning on getting married. I am just devastated. He was an extremely wonderful, loving guy. This is a tragedy.”
TMZ's sources say the cause of death was a prescription drug overdose.
The Post reports that his mother, Sasha Czack, had also been notified of her son's passing. Stallone made his acting debut alongside his father in "Rocky V." He went on to act in a number of films, most recently in "Promises Written in Water" in...

Jason Solomons at the Venice film festival
Bunny business
Vincent Gallo surpassed even himself with a vicious Venice parting shot. His 13-minute film, The Agent, consisted of a young agent shouting at the off-camera Gallo for most of its run time: "You're a prick, you're a fucking prick." The end credits then flashed up, and a disclaimer greeted with gasps by the assembled (rather small) audience: "This film was brought to you by The Gray Daisy Foundation, a viewer-supported organisation dedicated to the advancement of outspoken Caucasion (sic) non-Jewish heterosexual good-looking male film-makers and movie stars." That agent was right.
Quelle trouvaille
One of the most striking performances of Venice came from Yahima Torres, a first-time actress hailing from Cuba who took the title role in Abdellatif Kechiche's Black Venus. Kechiche told me he opened the front door of his home in where he lives in the Belleville district of Paris and spotted her.

The pearls this year came not from Hollywood but countries and genres off the beaten track
Fact and fiction and the blurring between the two emerged as a central theme at the 67th Venice film festival. The biggest question here on the Lido – other than when the sun would shine on us again – hung over Joaquin Phoenix and the film I'm Still Here, directed by his brother-in-law Casey Affleck, chronicling Phoenix's attempts to become a rapper. I asked Casey, directly – was it a hoax? "There is no hoax," he replied, like a Us president.
But, to my eyes, the whole thing clearly has been and it's impressive how they kept us guessing – and caring – for so long. But I think it's now safe to say that, contrary to the brilliantly propagated rumours, Joaquin Phoenix did not quit acting to take up hip-hop. Rather he immersed himself fully in the role...

It's a chilly, overcast day in Venice, and as I walk along the Lido down Lungomare Guglielmo Marconi, peering over the tall hedges that separate the street from the sea, the water looks gray and foreboding. What a pretentious-sounding sentence that is! But then, I've just come from seeing artiste Vincent Gallo's Promises Written in Water, one of two pictures Gallo is presenting at the festival. The other is a short (The Agent), and Gallo also appears as an actor in another film in competition, Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski's Essential Killing.
