More Lockout Gets In
Lockout seems to be flying under the radar for most folks, but not for us. ComingSoon scored a first look at some new publicity shots.

Jason Statham is Playing it “Safe”
How can you go wrong with Jason Statham playing an ex-cop, second rate cage fighter who is the only thing between a little girl and the Russian mafia? From the looks of this trailer for Safe, you can’t.
The Rock & Bruce Willis in New GI Joe Clip
Have you see this new tv spot for GI Joe: Retaliation? I think it’s pretty cool that…
1] Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Bruce Willis are willing to be in a sequel [especially one like GI Joe, which wasn’t a great film by any stretch] and
2] the producers were smart enough to get them.
Vin Diesel on Set as “Riddick”
Vin Diesel has posted two more photos from the set of Riddick. That’s a detail from one of the pics above.
Dan Panosian Gets Carter Again!
This is Dan Panosian‘s second appearance in the StalloneZone sketch gallery. His first was a drawing of Jack Carter that he gifted me at an FX Convention in Orlando.
Dan is a big Stallone fan and really gets the Jack Carter character. I love Dan’s art and hope this won’t be the last piece to go in my collection.
Check out more of Dan’s art here and here. Plan to spend some time, because everything he draws is worth a look!
Thom Zahler Remembers Oscar
This week we have Sly from Oscar by Thom Zahler. I was introduced to Thom at HeroesCon 2011 and to his art through his Love an Capes website. In addition to being an artist and writer, Thom is a great entertainer. He’s funny and does a better Shatner than the guy on the Priceline commercials.
Lockout: Take No Prisoners
So do you like the poster for Lockout?
It’s not as good as the trailer, but it works well enough.
Coogan’s Trade
Have you heard about Coogan’s Trade?
Coogan’s Trade is based on the crime novel by George V. Higgins. If that’s not enough to get you looking for the line to buy tickets, wait until you get a load of the cast of Brad Pitt, Ray Liotta, James Gandolfini and Sam Shepard.
What? You want to know more? OK… Pitt plays Coogan, a mob enforcer who is sent to find out and take care of whoever robbed a mob-protected poker game.
What you want to see more? Fine. First Look has some images from the film.
Satisfied? Now let’s get in line for some tickets!
“Fast 6” May Start Filming Soon
According to this report at MTV Movies, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson said that filming on “Fast 6” will begin in May in either Germany or the UK. Although it was initially reported that “Fast 6” and “Fast 7” would film back-to-back, Johnson said that’s no longer the plan.
The fact that filming is scheduled to start so soon is exciting news. “Fast 5” was without a doubt the best of the “Fast and the Furious” series and I look forward to seeing “Fast 6”.
Tom Hodges: Barney Ross
This week we have Sly from The Expendables 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 which will be posted in the coming weeks. Tom still draws regularly on UStream and it’s always a blast watching him sketch and interacting with the crowd.
Arnold & Sly: Shoulder to Shoulder
For years fans hoped to see Sly Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger appear in a movie together. The dream team-up finally occurred in The Expendables. When it was announced that Arnold would be back in a bigger role for The Expendables 2, fans couldn’t believe their luck.
Speaking of luck, what are the odds that both Arnold and Sly would find themselves side by side in a hospital prep room with both going in for shoulder surgery? Not to worry though, once they are healed both Arnold and Sly are set to team once again in The Tomb.
Riddick is in Deep Water
The on-set photos of Vin Diesel as Riddick just keep coming and I, for one, couldn’t be happier.
Lance Sawyer Got Carter
Lance Sawyer makes his third [and hopefully not last] appearance, this time with his take on Sly as Jack Carter from “Get Carter.” I’ve been a fan of Lance’s art for a while. Recently I had a chance to purchase a few sketches from him and I could not be happier in how they turned out!
If you’d like to see more of Lance’s art, you can right here.
“Riddick”: The Plot Thickens
It feels like it’s Riddick week here at CZ.com. Bleeding Cool posted some interesting news from the latest Riddick press release. In addition to listing recently added cast members, they also posted a plot summary:
- The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he’s encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.
- The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won’t leave the planet without Riddick’s head as their trophy.
