Stallone Mountain?

Now that Rocky has successfully gone another 10 rounds and Rambo is once again preparing to win by attrition and eat things that would make a billy goat puke, Sylvester Stallone is contemplating other projects.

Aside from his planned Poe biopic, Stallone is apparently looking into genocide. Not so much the activity, really, but a book about it: writer Franz Werfel’s “The Forty Days of Musa Dagh”, the story of Armenian villagers climbing the “mountain of Moses” in 1915 in an attempt to avoid extermination by the Turks.

Of the subject matter, the suddenly resurging Stallone says it’s “an epic about the entire termination of a society. The movie is a hot potato, Turks have been trying to kill the issue for 85 years.” Sounds like great material for an action flick! Or am I confusing Sly with Mel Gibson…
