I Can Hardly Wait

The Books-to-Film Weekly Deals Report, Starring Sylvester Stallone, Leo DiCaprio, Robert Downey Jr. and Akiva Goldsman: "Sylvester Stallone does a one-two punch this month, with two head-scratching deals in place. First, the brawny boxer has just officially confirmed that that he has signed on to star in Rambo IV."

In the second piece of Sly news this week, the star will direct a biopic of a quieter, gentler sort: the life of Edgar Allan Poe, in a film titled not Rampoe, but, merely, Poe. Stallone is wooing Robert Downey Jr. to play the master of the macabre. The bio/drama will be produced and distributed by the same company behind Rambo IV, Nu Image/Millennium Films.
