I shoudlnt be surprised about hearing Stallone being rumoured to be involved in an action flick. Personally, I think in his aging days he should push for comedy (Oscar was brilliant) but news is spreading that Stalone might be in the much hoped for Predator 3.
The sequel would reportedly happen after the now-filming Alien vs. Predator 2. Citing a scooper, IESB.net quotes the source as claiming: “Stallone might be being coaxed to do battle with the new Predator
The Aliens vs Predator movie is still considered a smudge on the Predator and Aliens franchise. And with news of the sequel leaning towards a grittier James Cameron style found in the Aliens franchise, it will be good to see an installment of Predator.
It may also be a final testament to Stallone’s viability as an action star. Don’t get me wrong, if I am in HALF the shape he is at his age, I would be bragging (Im not even half that NOW) but he is getting older and less appealing as the action hero. But everyone loves the underdog!
Stalone also has the upcoming Rocky Balboa to show he still has it, as well as the fourth chapter of Rambo. So maybe he will get back in the saddle and blow some stuff up for the action fans in us all. That combined with Predator could really put him back on top of the action list, but he has a lot of catching up to do with a handful of really charismatic and appealing younger action stars going for a piece of that market that Sly and Arnie once dominated.
