Sly Stallone is set to star in a remake of No Rest for the Wicked. The original was an award-winning film made in Spain.  In a recent interview Stallone described No Rest for the Wicked

  • “…a wonderful film that was done in Spain, No Rest for the Wicked. It’s hard-core, in the Bad Lieutenant mode…”

Sly will play…

  • Burned-out cop Santos Trinidad who visits a lonely nightclub for a last drink. After a seemingly trivial incident with the owner, he ends up shooting him, his bodyguard and a waitress in a fit of rage. Only one witness escapes with his life. Santos destroys all evidence linking him to the shooting and tries to track down the witness. In the process, he uncovers an Islamist cell planning a terrorist attack.

Tom Hodges Draws First Blood


This week we have Sly as Rambo 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.

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!

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”.
