On the occasion of the broadcast of “Cliffhanger” on C8, we take stock of Sylvester Stallone's next films.
Is Sylvester Stallone planning to hang up his gloves? The unforgettable interpreter of Rocky and Rambo has plenty of projects. We take stock during the broadcast of Cliffhanger on C8!
Armor
Stallone has already released two action films, which should hit our screens soon. The first is called Armor, signed Justin Routt.
The story will introduce us to a father and son working as security guards for an armored truck company. They encounter a team of thieves on a bridge and find themselves trapped. No release date has been announced yet.
Wings
Another film already shot for the actor, Alarum, directed by Michael Polish. The work was written by Alexander Vesha (Deadly Impact) and does not yet have a release date either. The story follows two professional assassins, Joe and Lara Travers (Scott Eastwood and Willa Fitzgerald). After abandoning their life of crime to live their love, they witness a plane crash.
The couple recovers from the debris a top secret USB key whose contents will put all the intelligence agencies in the world after them, including Chester (Sylvester Stallone). The latter is a relentless CIA agent sent to assassinate them.
The duo quickly abandons their idyllic lifestyle and calls upon their formidable skills learned in the shadows to survive the impending onslaught. Mike Colter, Isis Valverde, and DW Moffett complete the cast of this Mr. and Mrs. Smith-style action film which promises to be explosive.
Never Too Old to Die
Subsequently, Stallone will partner again with the Amazon Prime platform, with which he made the series Tulsa King and The Samaritan. He will be the hero of Never Too Old to Die, an action comedy in which he will play a former spy.
When one of his friends is killed in a retirement home, this Cold War veteran will do everything to find the assassin hiding among his people.
The Epiphany
Sylvester Stallone will return to the land of Rocky! As revealed by Deadline last March, the actor will go to Philadelphia for his new film entitled The Epiphany. If Rocky and this new project will be located in the same city, the comparison stops there. The two films have very distinct plots.
Stallone will play a tough, soon-to-be-retired police detective; he must team up with a young police officer and a former priest to stop a serial killer from Philadelphia. The film is directed by William Eubank (Paranormal Activity Next of Kin). Filming is scheduled to begin this summer in Philadelphia.
Little Amercia
The artist also has another film project on fire signed Rowan Athale: Little America, currently in pre-production. The story will take us to the future, where a president resembling Donald Trump bankrupts the United States.
The country's debt is being paid by China, with many Americans moving to Asia to find work. In this new world, a former member of the military is hired by a Chinese billionaire to infiltrate an American ghetto and save his daughter.
Hunter
The actor has also been attached since 2012 to the Hunter project, which he wishes to direct and play the main role. Stallone should slip into the costume of Nathaniel Hunter, a super hunter hired by the army to find a genetically modified creature in the Arctic Circle.
If the hunter's instinct tells him to refuse the mission, he has no other choice but to accept when the beast finds himself a few kilometers from a town. Sly acquired the rights to the science fiction novel “Hunter” by James Byron Huggins many years ago.
In 2009, Sylvester Stallone planned to adapt James Byron Huggins' novel into a sequel to John Rambo, but the project was abandoned and the filmmaker began making Expendables.
Scavenger Hunt
The actor is also associated with the Scavenger Hunt project, by director Elle Callahan. The story will follow a group of students deciding to do an ancient ritual. Obviously, things go wrong.
Samaritan 2
Finally, the latest project in Sly's portfolio: Samaritan 2. It is the sequel to the action film The Samaritan, released on Prime Video in August 2022. Stallone played an aging superhero taking a teenager under his control. wing.
And also: a reboot of Cliffhanger… without Sly!
The latest news from Sylvester Stallone concerns Cliffhanger. In 1993, Sylvester Stallone signed one of his most muscular roles in Cliffhanger by Renny Harlin. Over the years, the film has gone from simple guilty pleasure to regressive little classic of the 90s.
30 years later, a remake was announced with the return of Stallone in his role. Bad news: he just left the project at the beginning of November. Don't imagine an actor likely to replace him, the character will be entirely erased from the script.
The cast will include Pierce Brosnan, Lily James (Pam & Tommy), Nell Tiger Free (Servant) and Franz Rogowski (A Hidden Life). There are also two French people in the cast: Assaad Bouab from the series Ten percent and Bruno Gouery from the series Emily in Paris.
