The Italian Stallion follows the footsteps of the Austrian bodybuilder with his own documentary, where the actor purges a lot of emotions.
The beloved action stars that defined the 80s and 90s are not only rolling with the trends but also getting reflective and introspective in their twilight years. Ryan Coogler, a young fan of Stallone’s Rocky Balboa wanted to make a sequel with Apollo Creed’s son. Sly may have had an ugly departure from the franchise, but the action legend partnered with Paramount+ to star in two projects — Tulsa King from Taylor Sheridan and a reality show with his family, The Family Stallone.
Sly was recently seen on a Netflix documentary about his friendly rival, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and now the Rambo actor will be getting his own life and career documentary, Sly. The Hollywood Reporter has the details of the project. It just released a trailer. The description reads, “For nearly 50 years, Sylvester Stallone has entertained millions with iconic characters and blockbuster franchises, from Rocky to Rambo to The Expendables. This retrospective documentary offers an intimate look at the Oscar-nominated actor-writer-director-producer, paralleling his inspirational underdog-story with the indelible characters he has brought to life.”
The Italian Stallion had recently partaken in a deep dive with The Hollywood Reporter about his career hits, misses and his regrets. “I feel very immature. How do you age gracefully, I’ve never liked the quote “Act your age” or “Age gracefully.” You’re not graceful. Stallone said in the interview that the older I get, I try to embrace my “inner kid” more. Thom Zimny, director of Springsteen On Broadway
, is the man behind The documentary. Stallone admitted in the Schwarzenegger docuseries Arnold that he felt he hadn’t surpassed the Austrian bodybuilder in terms of career or achievement. They were box office rivals during the 80s and 1990s, but remained friends. (They even invested together in a restaurant themed after tinseltown called Planet Hollywood.) Sly’s documentary almost feels like they are still competing, even though they have worked together in The Escape Plan and The Extendables films. Stallone also made an appearance in the last two Guardians of the Galaxy films as well as The Suicide Squad, so no matter how things are going down with the rights to his Rocky franchise, Stallone has been able to adapt. SLY
is set to premiere on Netlix this November.
