Walter Hill Will Direct Sylvester Stallone in HEADSHOT
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: April 11th, 2011
In the initial report, Wayne Kramer (The Cooler) was tagged to direct Sylvester Stallone in the action thriller Headshot. However creative differences led Kramer away from the project last week. Stallone quickly found a replacement — he has revealed to AICN that Walter Hill will command the director’s chair:
“It’s official. We’ve got Walter Hill on board so would love for you to let the world know. We’ve been on the same track since The Driver, then 48 Hrs didn’t happen so here we are almost 35 years later, I’m finally driving with Walter Hill.”
The Headshot script by Alessandro Camon (The Messenger) sees Stallone as a New Orleans hitman who teams with a young NYPD detective: “The unlikely duo, brought together by two vicious murders, take on all who stand in their way, and are willing to sacrifice everything to exact revenge.” More after the jump:

Oliver Stone Wants Blake Lively for Savages
Blake Lively would play free-spirited OpheliaBlake Lively is Oliver Stone's first choice for the role of the female lead in Savages, which might conflict with the actress' plans to play Glinda the Good Witch in Disney's Oz: The Great and Powerful.
Oliver Stone is writing and directing the film, which follows two Laguna Beach marijuana kingpins forced to work for a Mexican drug cartel after Ophelia, the free-spirited girlfriend they share, is kidnapped.
Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitsch are in talks to play the two male leads, with Benicio Del Toro negotiating for one of the cartel enforcers.
Jennifer Lawrence was Oliver Stone's previous first choice, but her casting as Katniss in The Hunger Games, took her out of the running.
Salma Hayek and Uma Thurman have also been eyed for roles.
Production will start in June.
Savages comes to theaters in 2012 and stars Taylor Kitsch, Aaron Johnson, Benicio Del Toro. The film is directed by Oliver Stone.
