Rocky in Bollywood

Rocky in Bollywood

Sylvester Stallone is using his career resurgence in some unexpected ways.

First, he signed up to remake a fellow tough guy’s franchise – Charles Bronson’s “Death Wish” series.

Now, he’s heading to India to appear in a new Bollywood feature. The Wall Street Journal looks at the cultural implications in today’s edition.

Stallone’s international cred is likely higher than his stateside standing. A decade without a major hit hurt him badly, and even the one-two punch of credible “Rocky” and “Rambo” sequels didn’t vault him back to A-list status.

But kudos for trying something new, and for not making a mad dash to the direct-to-DVD circuit.
