Rare “Horses” Poster Starring Sly Stallone & John Herzfeld!
Last week Sly Stallone posted on his Instagram the art by Tom Jung for the very first Rocky poster. This week Sly posted the poster above for a student film that he and John Herzfeld made during their days at the University of Miami. Sly describes Horses as…
…a silent film about a cowboy and Indian that were resurrected in today’s modern society.
Sadly, Horses was never released. Happily, Herzfeld went on to have a long career as a writer, director, actor and producer. Sly didn’t do bad for himself either. ; )
Sly posts a lot of cool updates on his Sly Stallone Instagram.
Den of Thieves (2018) / Z-View
Den of Thieves (2018)
Director: Christian Gudegast
Screenplay: Christian Gudegast and Paul Scheuring
Stars: Gerard Butler, Jordan Bridges, Pablo Schreiber, Evan Jones,O’Shea Jackson Jr., 50 Cent, Cooper Andrews and Michael Bisping.
The Pitch: “Think The Shield meets Heat!”
Tagline: None.
The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
Big Nick Flannagan (Butler) leads a LA Sheriff’s office strike force on the trail of an elite team of thieves who’ve staged several bank robberies executed with military precision. Flannagan’s team considers themselves a gang with badges and they’re not above doing whatever it takes to solve cases. When they find themselves head-to-head with thieves that are their equals it becomes clear that a final showdown is looming.
Den of Thieves is more than just a good guys vs bad guys or heist movie. I really liked it and the 2 hours and 20 minutes flew by. Everyone with me felt the same. It was interesting in that the most likable character wasn’t Big Nick Flannagan, yet, like The Shield‘s Vic Mackey, you find yourself pulling for him. Den of Thieves hits all the right notes and has a great twist ending that I won’t spoil. I have a feeling that Den of Thieves will be one that I like even better on subsequent viewings.

New Romero Zombie Film and Web Series!
Tina Romero, George Romero’s daughter, has two horror-related projects in the works…
The first is a web series she is creating in collaboration with horror icon, Tom Savani and Robert Tinnell (who wrote and produces the series). Actor Jason Baker described the web series by saying…
“Imagine Oldboy shot as a silent film starring Lon Chaney Sr. It’s violent…”
This sounds interesting. More info about the web series can be found at Bloody Disgusting: First Details On Horror Web Series Directed By Tom Savini and George Romero’s Daughter.
Tina’s second project is a feature titled Queens of the Dead. Here’s Tina…
“Queens of the Dead is a fusion of two huge parts of my world: zombies and Gay nightlife. It’s a tribute to my father as well as my entrée into the genre he grandfathered. I can’t say too much yet, but what I can tell you is that this film will have all the hallmarks of a George A. Romero classic: farce, politics, heroes, ********, and most importantly, herds of silly and slow moving walkers that you can’t help but love. But I’m doing it Tina-style, and bringing the glitter, choreography, queers & queens.”
For more details check out Bloody Disgusting: Tina Romero, George Romero’s Daughter, Directing Queens of the Dead.
As we’ve previously reported, Cameron Romero, George Romero’s son is working on his own zombie feature, Rise of the Dead.
Dorothy Malone – R.I.P.
Dorothy Malone, Oscar winner as best supporting actress for her 1956 performance in Written on the Wind has died at age 92. Malone is probably best known for her starring role in the 1960s TV series Peyton Place. Visitors here might remember her for her last role as Sharon Stone’s friend in Basic Instinct. 
Dorothy Malone played in over 100 roles on film and tv, but I’ll always best remember her small role with Humphrey Bogart in The Big Sleep. In a scene lasting less than 4 minutes, Malone made a huge impact. I’ll bet Bogart returned to the Acme Bookstore after solving the case. I know I would have. Check out the scene and see if you don’t agree.
Sly Stallone Posts Rare 1st “Rocky” Poster Art by Tom Jung
For my money, the Rocky poster above is perfection. Everything from the tagline (“His whole life was a million-to-one shot”) to the black and white photography of a fighter and his woman looking at each other surrounded by stark white (nothing else in their world matters) with their backs to the viewer. The big, bold ROCKY. I love this poster. It’s a classic.
And it might not have been used if they’d gone with the first Rocky poster ever made!
Sly Stallone posted on his Instagram the art by Tom Jung below saying…
Very very very rare! Believe it or not this was the first poster ever made for the first ROCKY… Hand drawn.! This is the ONLY one in existence !!!!

“Expendables III” with 1970 Cast
I’m not sure who created this awesome alt-reality early 70s Expendables III poster, but whoever did deserves props.
You know what would have made the poster perfect? Add a young Sly Stallone with an “introducing Sylvester Stallone” credit.

10 Reasons Jack Lord was the Most Interesting Man on Television
Me-TV presented 10 Reasons Jack Lord was Truly the Most Interesting Man on Television. I say, “presented” since the article is no longer available. Still, here are three of my favorites…
4. He was an accomplished painter.
In his youth, Lord also studied at NYU — where he had a football scholarship, no less — and earned a degree in Fine Arts. Yes, he was an artistic athlete. He had at one time hoped to be an art instructor. At the age of 20, he had two of his works accepted by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. You can spot his paintings through Hawaii Five-O, hanging on the walls, in episodes like “Invitation to Murder,” “How to Steal a Masterpiece,” and “‘V’ for Vashon.”6. He was offered the role of Captain Kirk before Shatner.
In some alternate universe, Star Trek reruns are airing with Jack Lord and Martin Landau in the roles of Kirk and Spock. (Now that sounds like a Star Trek plot.) After the captain of the original pilot episode, Jeffrey Hunter, was given the boot on the show, Gene Roddenberry offered the new lead role of James Kirk to Lord. However, Lord had rather high salary demands. He reportedly wanted 50% ownership of the series. Shatner was simply cheaper.7. He holds a notable place in James Bond history.
While he never made it aboard the Enterprise, Lord did take part in another iconic series. In the first James Bond film, Dr. No, Lord portrayed Felix Leiter, the familiar C.I.A. ally of 007. He was the first actor to play the role in the film series. He might have appeared in more — but money was again the issue. For Goldfinger, Lord wanted more screen time and higher billing. Alas, these are Bond movies, not Leiter movies.
