According to this report at Spinoff Online, both Mickey Rourke and Rosario Dawson are set to return to Sin Ciity, when the sequel begins filming this summer. This is the best news I’ve heard all week.

Lance Sawyer is back, this time with his take on Sly as Freddy from Cop Land. I saw Lance was taking on some sketch and sketch card commissions, so I jumped on board.
If you’d like your own commission or to see more of Lance’s art, you can right here.

Here’s a sketch card of Sly as Jack Carter that Eric Merced did when I bought his sketchbook back in 2010. I’m pretty sure this was the first sketchcard that I ever got and it somehow eluded being posted until today. You can see more of Eric’s art at his site and his DA home.

As cool as the retro-looking poster for The Samaritan is, I like the trailer even better. Samuel L. Jackson as a newly released ex-con under pressure from his parole officer to “not even jaywalk” and his ex-partner’s [who Jackson killed} son’s gang forcing him back into the life… yeah, I’m in.

Today we have Sly as Judge Dredd by Shawn Surface. Shawn is an all-around nice guy and his art should be getting more attention. This is the first of three pieces that I recently picked up from Shawn. The other two will be posted in the coming weeks. Until then, why not check out his site and give him some love?

Empire has an area devoted to movie poster mash-ups. In the Sylvester Stallone section there are several very clever posters. Here are three of my favorites. – Craig

Here’s the teaser for the trailer of the Colin Farrell remake of Total Recall?

Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd scores a “Victory” with his take on Sly as Captain Richard Hatch from one of Sly’s most under-rated movies.
You can see more of Mike’s art at The Daily Sketch with The Krayola Kidd and his Deviant Art site. Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable.

If you were a fan of The Sopranos, and who wasn’t – fans and critics alike loved the show – (112 Emmy nominations and 21 wins in its 6 season run), then you’ll probably enjoy the excellent April 2012 Vanity Fair interview with all of the shows major players.

This week we have Sly from Expendables 2 by Tom Hodges. I discovered Tom’s art through his DA site. I saw that Tom was going to be drawing live on UStream so I commissioned several sketches. Tom still draws regularly on UStream and it’s always a blast watching him sketch and interacting with the crowd.

The photo above is just one of 25 rarely seen photos of Marilyn Monroe that Julien’s Auction House is selling. The photos come from the private collection of Ms. Monroe’s long time makeup artist and personal confidant, Allan “Whitey” Snyder.
It’s hard to believe if Marilyn Monroe was still alive she’d be almost 86 years old. Instead of growing old, Marilyn Monroe will remain an ageless icon. Whitey Snyder captured that beauty in those rare pictures [a couple of which were taken on location when Ms. Monroe was filming River of No Return with Robert Mitchum].

Just received word from Sly today… and I quote
That’s right. Sly says that Expendables II will be rated R.

That’s Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in a new photo from GI Joe: Retaliation. I imagine GI Joe: Retaliation will do good business with The Rock and Bruce Willis leading the team. As for me, I can’t wait for The Rock in Ciudad.

Have you seen the rare home movie footage of The Three Stooges filmed in 1938 at Steel Pier in Atlantic City that was edited to make it appear as one of their shorts? If you have it’s worth viewing again, and if you haven’t why not take a look?
The Three Stooges at the Steel Pier, Atlantic City, New Jersey — July 1, 1938. Film by George Mann of the comedy dance team, Barto and Mann. George Mann and his wife Barbara Bradford also appear in the film.
A tip ‘o the derby, and a nyuck-nyuck-nyuck to Mark Evanier for the original link.

Lance Sawyer makes a return appearance at the StalloneZone, this time with his take on Sly as Rocky. I saw Lance was taking on some sketch and sketch card commissions, so I jumped on board.
