He or no one! Almost 50 years ago, Sylvester Stallone performed his career to play his most emblem role

Before becoming a Boxes office superstar, Sylvester Stallone had to spend a long -years lean cow at the beginning of her career. His physical physics and his atypical game did not give him roles in the size of his talents. For a decade, after trying to start his career, Sli decided to write the role of his dream himself.

When Stallone decides to write for yourself a role that no one offers

During a fight between Muhammad Alice and Outsider Chuck Vepner, Stalone imagines the history of Rocky Balboa, a second zone boxer who manages to distance from the heavyweight world champion. A few days is enough for him to finish a rocky scenario that quickly attracts the attention of studios.

At this time, Sylvester Stallone was expelled from his apartment because there was not enough income to pay for it. Selling a rocky scenario would allow him to leave money problems behind him, but he still refuses to make his offers. Because Stalon only wrote this scenario with one idea: he portrays the main role of the film itself.

Studio United Artists preferred the role of rock to a more proven actor: then mention the names of Robert Redford, James Kan or Burt Reynolds. In the end, an agreement is reached with Stalone, who agrees that the sale of the script rights in the studio – and which is still not attributed to it – and at least union salaries to be able to play boxer.

The film’s failure has really finished Stalone’s career

The failure of the film would undoubtedly end Sylvester Stallon’s career hopes, but also resulted in its financial demolition. Fortunately, success was there! Rocky reports more than $ 200 million in box office and rewards 3 Oscar, including the best movie.

At the same time, Sylvester Stallone won two nominations, for the best actor and the best original scenario. He, of course, was not awarded, but no matter what, because his name was now among the most demanding actors in Hollywood. He decided to control his own destiny, Sli offered one of the most productive careers in American cinema.

Overall, Stallona camped eight Rocky Balboa: Saga in six films, then in the first two parts of the spin-off creed trilogy. Since the release of the first movie, Serry’s career has never stopped associated with the history of Stalin in Italy.

Rocky saga integration can be found at Prime Video until September 30.
