phantom22 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Latest news on "Rocky Balboa." The Independent London Stallone to talk Turkey with political 'hot potato' By Oliver Duff Published: 18 January 2007 * Sylvester Stallone is in town this week to promote his latest slice of testosterone-fuelled hokum, Rocky Balboa, which sees the ageing boxing champ return to the ring for one more fight. His next rumoured project will require more cerebral direction - if no less fake blood. Stallone is touting the idea that he might direct an adaptation of the controversial novel The Forty Days of Musa Dagh, which describes the Turkish massacre of its Armenian community in 1915. A movie based on the Austrian author Franz Werfel's 1934 fictionalised account would, Sly says, be "an epic about the complete destruction of a civilisation". The topic is, to understate it somewhat, a thorny issue over in Turkey, where the claimed "genocide" has never been wholly accepted as historical fact. A group calling themselves the Association on Struggle Against Armenian Genocide Acknowledgement is targeting Stallone with an angry letters campaign urging him not to make the film. "The book is full of lies, since the author got his information from nationalist and radical Armenians," says the association's chairman, Savas Egilmez. "We have already sent necessary documents about the mentioned days to the producer of the film. Our allies will urge the producer not to produce this film." Stallone concedes: "Talk about a political hot potato. The Turks have been killing that subject for 85 years." The uproar about Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ could seem tame.
