Guy Pearce, Iron Man 3 & a Suggested Role
I’m a Guy Pearce fan. He may be the most under-rated actor today. Pearce is always good and brings something different to each role.
So, I’m glad to see Guy Pearce is going to be in Iron Man 3. That’s definitely a plus.
Looking at this poster though, the first thing that went through my mind was, if I was casting an updated Miami Vice, I know who would play Sonny Crockett.
Josh Brolin Knows a Dame to Kill For
Robert Rodriguez recently sent out a couple of on-set photos taken during the filming of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
This one of Josh Brolin playing Dwight, reminds me of how much I’d love Frank Miller to do a new Sin City yarn, and how happy I’ll be when October 4, 2013 rolls around.
Thanks and a tip o’ Rodriguez’s cowboy hat to CBR.com.
Evan Bryce Knocks It Out of the Park with Rocky
This week we have the return of Evan Bryce Cranston with an unexpected addition to my Stallone Sketch Collection. To help celebrate Valentine’s Day and to have some fun for those that follow Evan’s Art Blog, Evan decided to have a random drawing and the winner would receive a specially created piece of art for a Valentine’s Day card.
The random number generator pushed out my number and I ended up winning this awesome Rocky piece. It’s a, uh, knockout!
Check out Evan’s site and say, “Hi.” He’s not only a talented artist but a great guy.
Thanks Evan!
Riddick: Pitch Black or Chronicles?
If won’t be long until Vin Diesel returns as in his third outing as Riddick in the aptly named Riddick. Diesel’s first appearance as the character was in Pitch Black.
Not only was Pitch Black Vin Diesel’s breakout film, it was also the movie that put writer/director David Twohy on the map. It’s obvious that they would have an affinity for the Riddick character, and thankfully so did movie fans.
It was only natural then, that Riddick would appear in a sequel. Twohy and Diesel had big, big plans for the character. The Chronicles of Riddick was born.
The Chronicles of Riddick was to be a huge tentpole movie which took Riddick into the Neccromonger underverse. As Twohy explains…
“Had Universal said to us, ‘Let’s roll over, let’s pick it up right at the end of the last movie’ and funded it, we would have ventured into the Necromonger underverse and we would have had a big The Lord of the Rings-style movie on our hands.
The Chronicles of Riddick under-performed at the box office and many thought that would be the last of the Riddick character. Yet, Twohy and Diesel realized there was still a lot of potential left in the character.
They got the rights back and decided to make a third movie. Although this time Twohy and Diesel had a more limited budget, they also had a clear idea of what made Riddick in Pitch Black work so well.
Trent Moore, at Blastr asks…
But imagine what could’ve been if Chronicles had performed a little better. Would you have liked to see a big budget sequel, or do you prefer the current plan for Riddick?
For me the answer is easy. I prefer the current plan for Riddick.
Jerry Gaylord Goes a Round with Rocky
Jerry Gaylord aka The Franchize makes his second, but not his last appearance in my Stallone Sketch Gallery with his take on Sly as Rocky.
I highly recommend Jerry to all sketch collectors. He quickly responds to e-mails, his turnaround time is quick and he packages the art to ensure it arrives safely.
To check out more of Jerry’s art, head here. – Craig
