But in the right environment Stallone can be pretty good (Cop Land being the only thing I can think of…). This could turn into a Tarantino-ish Apocalypse Now with Kingsley as the Final Demon hidden deep in the djungle. But it could also become Tropic Thunder without humour.

I remember a MTV article i linked to back in the day where he said something about most of those acting names/choices were either rumors or things he wasn't very serious about. He was obviously sincere about Adam Sandler though since he did go after him.

I'm glad he didn't get or go after any of those actors. I think they would have been all terrible choices. I'm glad he went with younger actors that you could believe would be soldiers. All those guys are way too old.

You know i was thinking, did Tarantino ever comment on why he didn’t try to get the cast he had envisioned Inglorius Bastards to have. And by that I’m talking about Stallone, Willis and Schwartzenegger. This movie almost seems like Stallone is doing his own Bastards film, with a cast that could’ve been Tarantino’s at one point.

Fucking hell! I thought he got in decent shape for his age for Rocky Balboa, but this is unreal. He looks just like he did in the 80s!
