  • Sylvester Stallone: Brother Slams Oscars Following Sly’s Snub, Later Apologizes to Mark Rylance

    Sylvester Stallone’s brother, Frank Stallone, slammed the Oscars following what most considered an obvious snub of the Rocky star at the Academy Awards on Sunday.

    Sylvester Stallone was favored to win in the Best Supporting Actor category, but the win went to Mark Rylance for his role in Bridge of Spies instead.

    In a tweet that has since been removed, Frank Stallone shared his thoughts on the Oscars snub on Monday.

    “The Academy should be ashamed of themselves,” he wrote. “It’s as clear as the nose on your face that Sly won.”

    On Tuesday, Frank Stallone apologized–not to the Oscars, but to Mark Rylance.

    Sylvester Stallone reprised his role as Rocky Balboa in Creed, and many believed this would be the year he’d finally receive an Oscar for portraying the character.

    The looks on many faces in the audience made it quite clear brother Frank wasn’t the only one astonished that Sylvester Stallone didn’t win.

    Sylvester Stallone took to social media to thank everyone for their support.

    “To all the “real Rocky’s” of the world, Please hang on to your dreams, NEVER GIVE IN , NEVER GIVE OUT , NEVER GIVE UP! thanks for the support,” he captioned a picture of himself.

    Do you suppose Sylvester Stallone is embarrassed by his brother’s tweet after he lost out to Mark Rylance at the Oscars on Sunday?

    Sylvester Stallone Supported by Fans–Including Arnold Schwarzenegger–Following Oscars Snub

    Sylvester Stallone was expected by many to win an Oscar in the Best Supporting Actor category at Sunday’s Academy Awards, for reprising his Rocky Balboa role in Creed.

    When Mark Rylance won the award instead of Sylvester Stallone, for his role in Bridge of Spies, the shock was obvious on the faces of many Oscar attendees.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger took to social media shortly after Sly’s Oscars upset, showing his support for his friend.

    “@officialslystallone To me, you’re the best, no matter what they say,” the former California governor captioned a short video clip.

    A number of Sylvester Stallone fans followed suit, reacting via Twitter to what many believed was an obvious snub.

    Were you among those who truly believed Sylvester Stallone would finally win an Oscar for his role as Rocky Balboa?

    It will be interesting to learn if the actor addresses the disappointment felt by so many of his fans.

  • Sylvester Stallone: Frontrunner for Best Supporting Actor for “Creed,” Will He Finally Win?

    Sylvester Stallone is a frontrunner in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role in Creed at tonight’s Oscars. Do you expect the Rocky star will finally score a big win?

    After winning a Golden Globe for his role as the “Italian Stallion” in Creed, he joked that Rocky Balboa is his imaginary friend.

    “I want to thank my imaginary friend Rocky Balboa for being the best friend I ever had,” Sylvester Stallone said.

    If Stallone wins at the Oscars, it will be quite a comeback story. He’s got some pretty stiff competition, however. In order to go home with the gold, he’ll have to beat out some Hollywood A-listers, including Mark Ruffalo, Christian Bale, and Tom Hardy.

    Can he do it?

    In addition to the Rocky films, Sylvester Stallone is best known for his Rambo franchise. He also tried his hand at comedy in Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.

    ABC News calls Sylvester Stallone’s role in Creed, “maybe the actor’s finest, most complicated work yet.”

    But is it enough?

    Will you be tuning in to the Oscars–the 88th Academy Awards–on Sunday evening? The show airs on the ABC network, with Live from the Red Carpet airing at 7:00 p.m. ET, and the awards show beginning at 8:30. Chris Rock is hosting.

    Will 2016 be the year Sylvester Stallone takes home an Oscar?

    Fans will have to tune in to see.

  • Sylvester Stallone Thought About Skipping the Oscars

    Sylvester Stallone is nominated for an Oscar for his performance in the movie Creed – but the 69-year-old actor almost sat out this year’s ceremony.

    As you’re probably well aware, the Academy has taken much criticism for the lack of diversity surrounding this year’s show. All the actors and actresses nominated in both leading and supporting categories are white.

    This has prompted an internet protest in the form of the #OscarsSoWhite meme, as well as boycotts from numerous actors and directors.

    And according to Stallone, he almost decided to join the boycott – despite being a nominee.

    Ultimately, it was Creed director Ryan Coogler who convinced Stallone to attend the award show.

    “I said, ‘If you don’t want me to go, I won’t.’ He said, ‘I want you to go.’ That’s the kind of guy he is. He wanted me to stand up for the film,” Stallone said at Monday’s Oscars nominee luncheon.

    Both Coogler and Creed star Michael B. Jordan were left out of this year’s Oscar nominees pool – and both are black. Many see this as an egregious snub.

    Last month, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced a goal to double its women and minority members by 2020.

    “The Academy is going to lead and not wait for the industry to catch up,” said Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs. “These new measures regarding governance and voting will have an immediate impact and begin the process of significantly changing our membership composition.”

    Other actors have spoken out about the lack of diversity. Matt Damon called it “shameful and embarrassing.”

  • Sylvester Stallone Considered Boycotting Oscars, “Creed” Director Told Him to Go

    Sylvester Stallone Considered Boycotting Oscars, “Creed” Director Told Him to Go

    Sylvester Stallone grappled with boycotting the Oscars in light of the lack of diversity shown by Academy voters this year. After receiving his nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Creed, he decided to ask his director his thoughts on the boycott.

    Director Ryan Coogler is African-American, but he didn’t want Sylvester Stallone to boycott the event.

    “I spoke with Ryan Coogler when this happened. I said, ‘Ryan how do you want to handle this? Because I really believe you are responsible for me being here,’” Stallone said. “I said, ‘If you don’t want me to go, I won’t.’ He said, ‘I want you to go.’ That’s the kind of guy he is. He wanted me to stand up for the film.”

    There are some who believe Ryan Coogler, as well as Creed and its leading actor, Michael B. Jordan, were snubbed.

    Sylvester Stallone holds out hope that the Oscars will become more diverse in the coming years.

    “It’s a matter of time. Eventually, all talent will rise to the top. It’s a matter of getting a new paradigm, a new way of thinking,” he said.

    Will you tune in to the Oscars on February 28? Do you expect Sylvester Stallone will win an Academy Award for his role in Creed?

  • Sylvester Stallone Excited To Be Nominated For Oscar

    Sylvester Stallone was nominated for an Oscar back in 1977 for his first portrayal of the lovable boxer, Rocky Balboa.

    Now, 40 years later, Sylvester Stallone has been nominated in the category of best supporting actor for the very same role.

    Sylvester Stallone couldn’t be more excited.

    Sylvester Stallone said of his original nomination, which he didn’t win, “It was such a long shot, us even getting made, and I was so, so naive, so new to the business, so green that I didn’t realize how hard it is and how much incredible talent there is out there.”

    The CREED goes on !

    He added, “The competition is so extraordinary. And now here I am 40 years later. How many peaks and valleys and how difficult it is to maintain any sense of longevity, and then to be brought back into drama from basically spending so much time in another genre, that to me is extraordinary to have bridged that gap back to where I started in drama. It is really amazing to me.”

    His slow-burning hit movie, Creed, has earned critical acclaim and Rocky fan approval alike.

    Hopefully Sylvester Stallone will have prepared his speech a little better than he did for Sunday’s Golden Globes.

    On Sunday, Sylvester Stallone forgot to thank Creed‘s director, Ryan Coogler, and star Michael B. Jordan in his speech.

    Of course, Sylvester Stallone was promptly labeled a racist.

    Sylvester Stallone did, however, make onstage amends during a commercial break and later on Twitter.

    What did you think about Sylvester Stallone’s reprisal of Rocky Balboa?

  • Sage Stallone: Dad Sylvester Stallone Remembers Him Following Golden Globe Win for “Creed”

    Sage Stallone was the son of actor Sylvester Stallone. Sage died in 2012 at the age of 36 of heart disease. He appeared in Rocky V alongside his famous dad.

    Following Sylvester Stallone’s Golden Globes win on Sunday night–he won Best Supporting Actor for his role in Creed–the actor remembered Sage Stallone.

    It was after reporters asked him what impact his son’s death had on his work that Stallone opened up about Sage.

    “Wow, that’s a very heavy question,” he said. “Any time you can do things that are real, I think it’s very, very helpful, and with my son, I want to respect his memory, and I think we did so.”

    Earlier in the evening, Sylvester Stallone walked the red carpet at the Golden Globes, flanked by wife Jennifer Flavin, and daughters Sistine, Sophia, and Scarlet Stallone. Only Sage Stallone was noticeably absent from the portrait they made.

    “They really have no idea who I am, and that’s okay, because I was a kind of peripatetic actor, on the road all the time, and I really wasn’t in the moment,” Sylvester Stallone said of today’s fans while in the press room. “Then I realized family is everything, and that’s the greatest award that you get, because in the end, when you’re on your deathbed, you’re going to basically be judged on how you raised your kids and what you left behind, so finally they get to understand that they have a caring father, that movies are wonderful, but they pale in comparison to the movie of life, which is making them go on into the future and be very, very successful. That’s my duty, that’s my mission, and I give my wife all the credit because I’m pretty pathetic as a parent. She’s great.”

    Sylvester Stallone no doubt did his late son Sage Stallone proud when he took the stage at the Golden Globes to accept his Best Supporting Actor win.

  • Corinne Foxx Gets Golden Globes Training from Dad Jamie Foxx

    Corinne Foxx is getting lots of training for her role Sunday as Miss Golden Globe from her dad Jamie Foxx. The actor is putting his 19-year-old daughter through all kinds of drills so she isn’t soon forgotten when the Golden Globes are over on Sunday evening.

    In a Creed tribute, Corinne Foxx learns to smile, walk, talk, and wave like a star. Jamie Foxx even makes her jump rope in high heels.

    Check it all out below in this Vanity Fair film clip.

    Jamie Foxx even throws some lighthearted shade in Steve Harvey’s direction when Corinne Foxx admits she’s nervous about her upcoming role as Miss Golden Globe.

    Foxx tells his daughter that no matter what, it “won’t be as bad as Steve Harvey.”

    Harvey, as most everyone knows, read the wrong name as the winner of the Miss Universe Pageant last month, crowning Miss Colombia–the first runner-up–instead of Miss Philippines, the rightful winner.

    For the past few years a child of a notable Hollywood actor is named Miss Golden Globe. Corinne Foxx will assist in the presentation of Golden Globes to Sunday’s winners.

    Jamie Foxx is certainly determined his daughter will be a winner in her own right. The 21-year-old college senior wants to become an actor, but has long been determined to finish college first.

    All kidding aside, Corinne Foxx will surely do her dad–and her whole family–proud.

  • Sylvester Stallone On Michael B. Jordan Getting Knocked Out And Why He’ll Never Play Rambo Again

    Sylvester Stallone is a Hollywood action staple. He has impressed two generations of action fans with his stints as Rocky, Rambo and various other no-nonsense powerhouses.

    While Sylvester Stallone was out promoting his latest film, Creed, which centers around his relationship with the son of Apollo Creed, he took some time to sit down with Jimmy Fallon.

    We are ever so glad he did.

    Sylvester Stallone revealed that he made Michael B. Jordan, who plays Apollo Creed’s son, take a real hit as an initiation of sorts into the Rocky family. He calls the process Dead Man Walking.

    He explained, “Otherwise, you’re kind of like a dead man walking, because unless you take the shot, you can’t be part of the family because we’ll bring it on.”

    The CREED goes on !

    A photo posted by Sly Stallone (@officialslystallone) on

    He added, “you have to get clobbered, usually by a man infinitely stronger and larger.”

    To which Michael B. Jordan replied, “Bring it on.”

    Michael B Jordon taking it on the chin for real! Got up and did it again!!! I know the feeling…

    A video posted by Sly Stallone (@officialslystallone) on

    And bring it on, he did. Sylvester Stallone had Jordan’s fictional adversary, “Pretty” Ricky Conlan (British boxer Tony Bellew), deal Jordan a blow that knocked him out instantly.

    And made all who saw it cringe.

    Sylvester Stallone also talked about having to do the same thing when he was filming the Rocky movies.

    When asked about the worst hit he ever took, he admitted it was from Dolph Lundgren.

    He said, “It was unbelievable. He hit me so hard in the chest that the next thing I knew I was on a low-altitude flight to intensive care at St. John’s Hospital surrounded by four nuns.”

    But, it seems those days are over for Sylvester Stallone. After he’d previously hinted at an encore for Rambo almost a year ago to the day, he revealed to Variety that he’s just not up for it.

    He said, “The heart’s willing, but the body says, ‘Stay home!’ It’s like fighters that go back for one last round and get clobbered. Leave it to someone else.”

    Sylvester Stallone is 69, after all. Maybe it’s time to slow down?

    What do you think of Sylvester Stallone’s induction of Michael B. Jordan into the Rocky family?

  • Sylvester Stallone Will Not Be Involved in Fox ‘Rambo’ Series Despite Claims

    Sylvester Stallone will not be involved in the developing Fox series Rambo: New Blood despite previous claims by the network.

    In its initial release about the new series, Fox said that Stallone would be an executive producer on the show and that he might reprise his role from the 1982 series. Since then, Entertainment Weekly reported that Stallone will not be involved.

    “Contrary to reports, Sylvester Stallone has opted not to participate in the planned Rambo television series in any way at all,” a rep also confirmed to Deadline. “I wish the others well with the project,” added Stallone.

    One has to wonder if the earlier announcement by Fox was just the means to find the, well, means to bring the proposal to the small screen. Now, the actor’s absence from the project could be the end of the project before it ever really made some traction.

    According to Deadline, the plan was for the series to focus on the relationship between Stallone’s iconic character of John Rambo and his son. Needless to say, without Stallone, that plan is an impossibility and to get the ball rolling, a new premise will need to be be conceived.

    As Fox ponders its options, Stallone meanwhile has received recent critical acclaim for reprising another one of his famous roles: Rocky Balboa in Creed. It would seem, as EW points out, that Sylvester Stallone is all for revisiting the past, but only for projects that suit him.

  • Tessa Thompson Breathes New Life Into “Rocky” Franchise in “Creed” Role

    Tessa Thompson plays the role of aspiring singer Bianca in the newly released film Creed. Her acting, in addition to her singing and songwriting skills, breathes new life into the “Rocky” franchise.

    This is the first prominent film role for Thompson. She starred in the indie film Dear White People, and had a small part in Selma.

    Both an actor and a singer, Tessa Thompson convinced director Ryan Coogler she was exactly what he needed for Creed.

    “I’ve been in this band, “Caught a Ghost,” for about two and a half years. When I was auditioning for Creed, Ryan told me they were interested in casting a musician. I convinced him that it should be me, and later he called and asked me to be in the studio with a composer and producer. To work on such a deadline and write these songs specifically for the movie is really a unique challenge that at various moments was frightening and really fun,” she says in a recent interview with Variety.

    Tessa Thompson believes Creed will draw a whole new audience to the Rocky franchise.

    “The movie definitely brings a new kind of audience into the franchise. In this film, Philadelphia is a character in the movie. It’s also a part of Philadelphia that we’ve never seen. Ryan Coogler is into the stories that he writes, like what it means to be a young black man in this country. It’s tremendous to get to work with someone who has a specific stake in a story, and isn’t afraid to tell it,” she says.

    In addition to Tessa Thompson, Creed, of course stars Sylvester Stallone, although he takes a backseat to younger characters in the film. It stars the very handsome Michael B. Jordan as the son of Rocky’s longtime opponent, Apollo Creed.

    Creed opened in theaters on Wednesday.

  • Sylvester Stallone Admits He Was Wrong to Doubt the Making Of ‘Rocky’-Inspired ‘Creed’

    Sylvester Stallone admitted he was “wrong” to initially doubt the making of Creed, which is indie director Ryan Coogler’s take on the Rocky franchise.

    “The feel of this is extremely personal as opposed to ‘just a movie’, in you know, ‘let’s keep the film going out perhaps for financial reasons’,” the Hollywood action star said at the Creed premiere.

    “It took about two and a half years – ‘Should I do this? Should I do this?’ … sometimes I have to admit I was wrong and he was right.”

    In the movie, according to Reuters, Stallone’s iconic character Rocky Balboa becomes mentor to the son of his former rival Apollo Creed.

    According to E! Online, the 69-year-old Oscar nominee looked incredibly dapper Thursday as he stepped out on the red carpet for the premiere of Creed with four dates, including his model wife Jennifer Flavin and his three teenage daughters, Sophia Rose Stallone, 19, Sistine Rose Stallone, 17, and Scarlet Rose Stallone, 13.

    Daughter Sistine, who has followed in her mom’s modeling footsteps, looked like a mini-me of Jennifer, both sporting black and white ensembles with accents of lace. Meanwhile, eldest daughter Sophia looked stunning dressed in head to toe black with sexy panelling of sheer lace at the waist while youngest daughter Scarlet looked adorable wearing a red cocktail dress with a lace pattern overlay.

    Thankfully, Stallone opted out of the lace motif and stuck with an elegant navy blue suit, white collared shirt and matching pocket square.

    Sylvester Stallone and his family where certainly a knock out on the red carpet!

  • Sylvester Stallone Works Soccer Crowd in Liverpool for New Movie

    Sylvester Stallone is working the crowd already for his upcoming Rocky spin-off/sequel, Creed.

    While news hounds in Philadelphia were reporting that Sylvester Stallone was in town to shoot scenes for the film, the man who brought Rocky to the big screen almost 40 years ago was working another screen in Liverpool.

    Sylvester Stallone needed some crowd scene footage for use in the Creed film, so he popped up on the Jumbotron screen at halftime in Goodison Park, a football stadium located in Walton, Liverpool, England. Perhaps a little explanation is in order to show the connection.

    The movie Creed is centered on Adonis Creed, the grandson of Rocky’s one-time-rival-turned-traininer-and-friend Apollo Creed. Rocky trains Adonis Creed in the film. Within the story, Adonis Creed fights Pretty Boy Porter. Porter is played by British boxer Tony Bellew. Bellew is a huge
    Everton football club fan and knows people in the organization.

    So when Sylvester Stallone needed crowd footage, Bellew made some calls. He also posted a tweet.

    Adonis Creed is played by Michael B. Jordan. Jordan is already known for his roles in The Wire, Friday Night Lights, and Parenthood. In addition to taking on the part of Adonis Creed in the iconic film canon, Jordan is also cast as Johnny Storm, AKA The Human Torch, in two upcoming Fantastic Four productions.

    Earlier today, Philly Mag reported that Sylvester Stallone was seen “shopping at I. Goldberg (1300 Chestnut St.) and strolling down 13th Street with a pal.” The original Rocky films were based largely in Philadelphia, where the famous images of Rocky Balboa running through the streets in the early morning, racing up the library steps were filmed. Stallone himself went to high school in Philly, and Philly claims Rocky as its son, erecting a statue in his honor. When Sylvester Stallone comes to town to film another Rocky movie, people pay attention.

  • Scott Stapp’s Wife Files for Divorce

    The wife of embattled former Creed frontman Scott Stapp filed for divorce last month, and asked a judge in Palm Beach County, Florida to have the singer admitted to a substance abuse treatment facility.

    Jaclyn Stapp filed legal documents for divorce proceedings, dictating that Stapp threatened to kill himself and his AA sponsor, that he threatened to harm his family, that he owns guns, hears voices in his head and has visions of people on fire. Jaclyn reportedly added that Stapp’s problems stem from a drug binge of steroids, pot, cocaine, PCP, Special K, crystal meth and various prescription drugs.

    Jason Brodie, Jaclyn Stapp’s attorney, remarked, “It is a very painful and personal matter for the family.”

    Brodie added, “Jaclyn loves Scott very much. It is now apparent the seriousness of Scott’s health. Jaclyn has taken all the necessary steps to help him. She previously arranged for the appropriate treatment and will continue to try and help him. Her primary concern remains the best interest of their children. Jaclyn asks for privacy for her and her children during this difficult time.”

    Stapp meanwhile has launched a Fundly campaign, in order to raise money for his third solo album, and a novel. So far the rocker has generated $612, of the $480,000 he is asking for.

    Stapp was recently in the news after posting a 15-minute video on Facebook, which has since been deleted, detailing his financial issues and his present lack of infrastructure. Stapp claimed he was “penniless,” and living in a hotel.

    Stapp’s second video statement:

    Stapp, who said he was “as sober as can be,” commented via social media, “During the course of that audit a lot of things were uncovered,” said Stapp. “A lot of money was stolen from me or royalties not paid, and that’s when all hell began to break loose. So I think you guys are smart enough to put two and two together. There are people who have taken advantage and stolen money from me and they’re trying to discredit me, slander me.”

    Stapp later deleted his videos, and a statement posted Friday said the singer is “going to step back and let God control everything from here on.”

    “I should have continued to do that before I allowed my hurt, frustration and emotions take control and post those videos,” the statement added.

    Stapp, 41, gained notoriety as the lead singer and lyricist of the Christian rock band Creed, which sold roughly 40 million records worldwide. Stapp won a Grammy for the Creed song “With Arms Wide Open,” and released two solo albums.

  • Scott Stapp was Put on Psychiatric Hold, Fears ISIS

    Former Creed frontman Scott Stapp was put on a mandatory 72-hour psychiatric hold in mid-November, after authorities found him alongside a Florida road, seemingly intoxicated, and rambling about how he believed someone was attempting to poison him.

    Stapp, 41, gained notoriety as the lead singer and lyricist of the Christian rock band Creed, which sold roughly 40 million records worldwide. Stapp won a Grammy for the Creed song “With Arms Wide Open,” and released two solo albums.

    Below are some expanded Scott Stapp revelations:

    It’s been revealed by TMZ that a Madison County, Florida police report described Stapp as being delusional after his arrest on November 13. The singer reportedly told police that he worries his kids will be attacked by ISIS.

    Stapp’s estranged wife Jaclyn filed legal documents for divorce proceedings, dictating that Stapp mentioned he threatened to kill himself and his AA sponsor, that he owns guns, hears voices in his head and has visions of people on fire.

    Jaclyn reportedly added that Stapp’s problems stem from a drug binge of steroids, pot, cocaine, PCP, Special K, crystal meth and various prescription drugs.

  • Scott Stapp, Former Creed Singer, is Now Broke and Living in a Hotel

    Seventeen years after his band became an international success, Creed singer Scott Stapp is now “penniless” and living out of a Holiday Inn.

    According to a video of Stapp posted to the Creed Facebook page, the trouble started eight weeks ago when he began an audit of his record company and his personal finances. In the course of the audit Stapp said he found evidence that a substantial amount of money was missing.

    “During the course of that audit a lot of things were uncovered,” said Stapp. “A lot of money was stolen from me or royalties not paid, and that’s when all hell began to break loose. So I think you guys are smart enough to put two and two together. There are people who have taken advantage and stolen money from me and they’re trying to discredit me, slander me.”

    Stapp said that he is “sober as can be” and claims that he is undergoing weekly blood and urine tests to combat recent rumors that he has relapsed into drug and alcohol abuse.

    The singer also claims that over the past few years he has “rededicated his life to Christ” and is “proud” to be a Christian. Stapp compared his situation to other biblical figures who were attacked for their beliefs and said he is praying for the people who are spreading “vicious rumors and lies” about him.

    As for his current situation, Stapp said the IRS has frozen his bank accounts, leaving him “completely penniless.” The singer claims that the IRS later clarified this as a clerical error and said that his funds would be unfrozen in 9 to ten months.

    “This all will be public,” said Stapp. “I’m gonna take it public and I’m gonna expose and I’m gonna fight every single individual that is responsible for this.”

    Post by Creed.

    Creed released the album My Own Prison in 1997 and quickly found stardom. Over the next year songs such as “My Own Prison,” “What’s This Life For,” and “One” ranked highly on Billboard’s music charts. The band’s next two albums, Human Clay and Weathered topped the charts.

    Following their whirlwind success, Creed broke up in 2004. Band members cited Stapp’s behavior and drug addiction as factors in the break-up.

  • Method Man and Sour Patch Kids Form a World Gone Sour

    If you’ve been wondering what Method Man has been up to recently, all you need to do is watch the video below. Apparently, he’s been creating a music video for Capcom’s upcoming game World Gone Sour. Capcom isn’t developing the game, but is handling the publishing duties. A game which features the sour and sweet snacks known as the Sour Patch Kids.

    A small downloadable, junk food related video game isn’t generally something to get excited about but there’s so many quirks involved with this release it can’t help but be noticed. The game will come bundled with the video above, so you’ll be able to play it on your console of choice. If Method Man’s video isn’t enough to sell you, then how about if the game was to be narrated by Creed Bratton, better known as ‘Creed’ from NBC’s The Office? It boggles the mind.

    Here’s additional information concerning the game from an official Capcom press release, which looks to release soon for the PC, “Gamers will take on the miniature role of a lost Sour Patch Kid in a stylized human-sized world, guiding the hero through the sticky floors of a movie theater, across the counter of a concession stand, and other unique and oversized environments. Joining forces with fellow lost Sour Patch Kids, players will use a combination of jumps, twists and puzzle-solving to negotiate and overcome larger than life obstacles. Along the way, they will battle unusual candy enemies, escape from deranged humans, and face-off against bizarre creatures including one very angry wad of sticky chewing gum.

    Players will be able to team up with one friend for local co-op play. The console version will include support for global leaderboards, as well as Microsoft Achievements or PlayStation® trophies. World Gone Sour will be available this winter for $4.99 on PC and this spring on PlayStation®Network for $4.99 and on Xbox LIVE Arcade for 400 Microsoft Points.

    The journey of the Sour Patch Kids will include additional star personality with cheeky narrations by actor Creed Bratton (“The Office”), who will provide snack-sized quips and tidbits throughout the game.”

    Whoever came up with these ideas is a marketing genius. With so many elite level video games coming out recently, trying to get a title noticed is tough goings. Nothing like a little help from Method Man and creepy Creed to provide the push necessary to help sell some copies. The video alone is almost worth the price of admission.
