Actor Sylvester Stallone thinks a movie like Rocky couldn’t be made today.
In 1976 the film was released Rocky starring Sylvester Stallone and it was an impressive success. That is why over the years they have made up to 8 films in this saga. But… Would it have the same impact today?
In a recent interview, he was asked Sylvester Stallone to give advice to young people who want to gain a foothold in the cinema. The actor replied that they focus on streaming, since the time to make movies like Rocky it’s over
«The entrepreneur, grabbing life by the seat of the pants, following your instinct is over. For example, Rocky would never be done today, this would never have happened. It’s over. The Godfather would not be made today.
He was also asked if the film industry has changed forever.
“I don’t think it will ever have the golden age that it has had. The audience, the demographics are different. They’re now watching movies on the iPhone, so it’s not like the theater has become a regular sanctuary for upcoming attractions. Now it is broadcasting programs. I’m going to do one very soon called The King of Tulsa, and it just allows you to breathe in a character, breathe out, take ten weeks to shoot. In a movie you have maybe 95 minutes, 110 minutes and it’s all a dice game. With movies, you have a James Bond movie, $300 million, you have opening weekend.” concluded Sylvester Stallone.
Luckily, the veteran actor has not left the cinema, since we will be able to see him in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 like Stakar Ogord and The Mercenaries 4 like Barney Ross. But also, Sylvester Stallone make a movie called Little Americaabout a dystopian world where China owns the United States and a special forces commando has to enter a troubled neighborhood to save the daughter of a billionaire.
