Craig Zablo: Do you ever consider revisiting "The Bodyguard" or "Maggie's Eyes" [two unproduced screenplays that Sly wrote]?
SYLVESTER STALLONE: Well, "The Bodyguard" could work. I don't know if it's right for me because, you know, you write it in a certain time in your life when you're thinking like that, so that may be a naiveté. I would revisit them to direct. But I'm spending a lot of time on Rambo right now. That, that's really an important film because I think that action films have somewhat gone out of favor or just gone out of style. Today it's more fantasy, more sci-fi, more colorful action characters. It's not so much flesh and blood. So I, I'd like to explore Rambo in a way that it's almost an homage to action films because I don't think they're gonna stick around the way they were...[with]such a force, such a presence like in the 80's and 70's and, you know, up into the 90's.
So doing Rambo's going to be a real challenge because it's kind of like a, you know, what you call a handmade, hands on film. Not a lot of CGI. It's things that are actually feasible you know. I think it's great what they do with "Spider-Man" and "X-Men"... it's very creative. But I think this would also be a challenge too.
