Uh-Oh

• Hollywood Elsewhere •: "Because Sylvester Stallone's Rocky Balboa kicked some surprising box-office ass ($80 million domestic, $150 million int'l) last year and similar-type earnings from his aging-Rambo remake may be in the offing, the MGM guys -- holding high the attitude and aesthetic of Cannon Films in 2007 -- are 'in talks' with Stallone to direct and star in a remake of Death Wish, the 1974 Charles Bronson-Michael Winner film."

Well, at least it would be good for Brian Garfield's pocketbook.

"Well, at least it would be good for Brian Garfield's pocketbook." Mr. Garfield is a superior writer. He might as well make some money off his creation. Hollywood has been ripping him off for years.

I thought they just remade Death Wish, starring Jodie Foster.

Isn't Stallone about ready for a remake of THE SUNSHINE BOYS?

I think Newman and Redford are doing that one.

I still shudder when I think of Stallone's remake of GET CARTER.

It's going to be hard to believe that Stallone is an "ordinary" guy. He hasn't looked normal in over 20 years.
