Hey folks, Harry here with some tidbits on Stallone's Racing Movie... IN THIN AIR. I don't believe I have heard that title before... In fact I'm positive I haven't... But then Rum does that to a buffoon like me. I'm sure I just missed it somewhere. If not... Cool Title! I like it. Though I'd be more confident hearing about the quality of the script... as that is usually the chief indicator on the quality of Stallone's films. SO... If you have read it, know anything more than... Old Man makes late start at racing cars... synopsis... let us know...
Hey Harry,
I have some info which is has been released to the public unofficially during Formula One races this year during broadcasts. I wanted to bring this info to your attention since I am a big fan of racing movies like Le Mans, Days of Thunder, and Grand Prix, and have been looking forward to this project ever since it was a laughable rumor over a year ago (Stallone fit in a cockpit of a grand prix car? No way.).
Tentative title: "In Thin Air"
Shooting begins next May.
Stallone WILL be acting as well as directing.
Stallone will wear Jean Alesi's helmet colors, but I wouldn't go as far as to assume he will be portraying Alesi, although Stallone an Alesi look very similar...besides their builds, of course.
Plot: Stallone portrays an older driver, making a successful new start.
The Rocky themes will be obvious- almost a Rocky with cars, to put it simply.
The US Grand Prix, F1's return to the United States, will be prominently featured in the movie.
Several past F1 champions will have small roles- akin to Phil Hill in James Garner's "Grand Prix".
That is all,
Xyling
