Comments Thread For: Sylvester Stallone Reveals Plans To Make Film on Jack Johnson

[Noelanthony]

Great idea so long as Stallone or Ben stiller doesn’t play Jack Johnson. I’m actually ashamed I don’t really know the Johnson story but I know everything about Adolf hitler and the concentration camps...����

Should be fun.

As long as Stallone doesn't write himself into the movie to fight Jack Johnson then it should be a good one to watch.

It's about time...

Funny how things work. Boxing movie maker pushes President for pardon of boxer while planning a movie about him that will make another not so small fortune.

Rocky can teach at Wharton business school!

I’m laughing in envy. Truth stranger than fiction...

Maybe Hollywood will resuscitate Kevin Spacy to play the evil ***ish shadowy puppet master in the back ground.


I love my homie Larry, and I’d suggest that Larry be Jack J. And a few putos on this site play the role of white wimmin who got jackhammered by lord Johnson...

Didn’t Johnson teach or advise a German dude how to beat joe Luis?

I might be wrong. I’ll check my facts..

Where da cobra at? MCC bra, where you at homie, where you at....

Ving Rhames just got his next lead role.

Not a bad choice...I can see that.

Hopefully he won’t invent a new literary artistic device to make “it” all about him.

Jack Johnson was the inspiration for Apollo Creed? I always heard that the Rocky story was inspired by Chuck Wepner and that Creed was loosely based on Ali?

I doubt Stallone knew who Jack Johnson was when he wrote Rocky.

Fair play to Stallone for getting Johnson Pardon. I know not just him but he started it with Drumpf

Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson is good enough for me.

I wonder how he will do the screen play for Johnson's dive in Cuba... as 4 Vinny: they punk, hedeserves everything that they're going to take from him...

For 40 years creed was based on Ali. Now pardon, movie deal suddenly based on jack. Another Hollywood phony sad

Good story, although I always felt Johnson was over rated. Tommy Burns was a cruiserweight, Ketchel although an all time great was the middleweight champion, and Jeffries had been retired for 7 years when they drug him out of retirement.

Overrated? He was the first African American Champ. What’s next Jackie Robinson is overrated?
