Hollywood, CA (BANG) – Sylvester Stallone will retire from acting after shooting his new ‘Rambo’ movie.
The action hero, who will begin working on ‘Rambo 4: In The Serpent’s Eye’ early next year, has revealed he will continue to work in Hollywood – but only as a director.
Sylvester explained: “After I make this movie, I see my future as a director. I’ve been displeased with my last few films, as well as some in the past.”
‘Rambo 4: In The Serpent’s Eye’ will see Vietnam veteran John Rambo rescuing missing missionaries in Thailand.
The 60-year-old actor enjoyed massive box office success in the 70s and 80s with the Rocky and Rambo movies but has often failed to impress critics.
Sylvester, affectionately known as Sly, penned script for the first ‘Rocky’ movie and wrote and directed ‘Rocky II’, ‘Rocky III’ and ‘Rocky IV’.
However, he has won more Golden Raspberry Awards – given for the worst film performances of the year – than any other actor in history.
‘Rocky Balboa’ – the sixth film in the series – is scheduled to be released in December.

Sylvester Stallone looks ‘In The Serpent’s Eye’ for Rambo IV

Washington, Oct 9: Hollywood action star Sylvester Stallone is all set to reprise his role of Vietnam veteran John Rambo, in the third sequel of the Rambo franchise.
The Rocky star will also produce and direct the film based on his own script titled, Rambo IV: In The Serpent’s Eye.
According to Production Weekly, the latest movie finds Rambo being recruited by a group of Christian human rights missionaries to protect them against pirates while delivering humanitarian aid to the persecuted Karen people of Burma.
After some of the missionaries are taken prisoner by sadistic Burmese soldiers, Rambo gets a second impossible job: to assemble a team of mercenaries to rescue the surviving relief workers.
Rambo 4 starts shooting in Thailand in January.
Meanwhile, Stallone will also be reprising his role as legendary boxing champion Rocky Balboa in the new film Rocky Balboa. His character in the movie had retired long back, but is drawn back to the boxing ring one last time. (ANI)

Bowie hits "SpongeBob" Holy Grail

NEW YORK (Reuters) – British rock legend David Bowie’s career will take a dive next year — as he joins the cast of the popular underwater cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants for a guest appearance.
Bowie said on his Web site blog that he would be the voice of a character called Lord Royal Highness on the Nickelodeon network’s hit children’s cartoon series next year.
“It’s happened. At last. I’ve hit the Holy Grail of animation gigs,” Bowie, 59, said on his Web site (www.davidbowie.com/bowie/journal/index.php) on Wednesday.
“We, the family, are thrilled. Nothing else need happen this year, well, this week anyway.

Bowie has a six-year-old daughter, Alexandria, with his wife, the model Iman.
The singer has had a long list of acting credits, appearing in the films “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence” and “Labyrinth,” as well as in the BBC sitcom “Extras” with comedian Ricky Gervais in which he played an exaggerated version of himself.
SpongeBob SquarePants has been a hit with children and adults around the world since its 1999 debut.
SpongeBob is a friendly sponge who lives with his pet snail Gary in a pineapple under the sea.
