Sylvester Stallone To Fight Robert De Niro In 'Grudge Match'?
Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone are set to put the gloves back on - they're rumored to be playing rival boxers in new movie Grudge Match.
De Niro won an Oscar for his role as fighter Jake La Motta in 1980's Raging Bull, while Stallone found fame as down-on-his-luck boxer Rocky Balboa in 1976 film Rocky.
Now, both Hollywood legends are reportedly preparing to face each other in the ring in Grudge Match, which is scheduled for release in 2012. The movie tells the story of two ex-boxers - Billy 'The Kid' McGuigan and Henry 'Razor' Sharp - who agree to come out of retirement for one l...

Sylvester Stallone Made No Money From 'Rocky Balboa'
Sylvester Stallone is glad his sixth Rocky movie salvaged his film career - but he made no money from the film's $200 million profit.
The Hollywood legend boosted his dwindling popularity by revisiting his most famous franchise for a final installment, Rocky Balboa, in 2006. The bold move worked, and he went on to make a fourth Rambo film in 2008 before teaming up with fellow big-screen action men Bruce Willis and Mickey Rourke for new movie The Expendables.
And Stallone is adamant making the 2006 boxing picture was a wise decision - even though he has not banked any of the film's enorm...

After 19 Years, 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' Phenomenally Exhumes Venerated Roots
(HollywoodChicago.com) – After such a long respite from the beloved film progression, I was initially just as skittish about seeing Harrison Ford back in the Indy saddle as I was watching Sylvester Stallone back in the ring in “Rocky Balboa” in his 2006 comeback and then again in 2008 in his “Rambo” return.
Ultimately, though, I had faith in director Steven Spielberg not to royally torpedo the monolithically anticipated “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” which resurrects the Chicago-born, 65-year-old Harrison Ford as one of my favorite film characters of all time.

Sylvester Stallone: 'I Lost Touch With The Audience'
Sylvester Stallone blames his decision to make poorly received sequels Rambo III and Rocky V on losing touch with reality after becoming a Hollywood superstar. The 61-year-old slowly fell from the action A-list after releasing a succession of formulaic movies - a situation Stallone is now rectifying with last year's Rocky Balboa, the sixth film in that franchise, and upcoming third sequel to Rambo.
However the actor is convinced his superstar status in the 1980s had a lot to do with the increasingly preposterous films he was making.

Sylvester Stallone Panicked As He Got Fat For 'Rocky' Sequel
Sylvester Stallone panicked when he quit working out to play a chubby Rocky Balboa in the Rocky sequel - because he got so fat so fast he struggled to walk up the stairs.
Studio executives advised the star to give up his fierce workout regime as he prepared to reprise his movie boxing hero - because they feared he wouldn't be believable as an ageing fighter. But Stallone was shocked when he started piling on the pounds and immediately returned to the gym.
