HOLLYWOOD'S VETERAN CELEBRITIES LOOKING FOR REVIVALS

It's "come back" time

It seems that comeback is now the in thing in Hollywood. We are talking about the many iconic names that were so-awfully familiar in the 90s: Sharon Stone, Sylvester Stallone, and Bruce Willis.

Later this year, Rocky Balboa, star and directed by Sylvester Stallone, will hit Singapore screen. The movie continues the glory of the fictional Italian boxer, Rocky Balboa. Rocky was a staple in the 90s boxing-movie genre and was another work (after Rambo), which makes Sylvester Stallone a favourite wall pin-up in the army barracks. Would Sylvester Stallone makes a strong comeback with this movie? No tell tale sign from the trailer though.

Early this month, it was announced that Bruce Willis is set to return in the sequel of "DIE HARD", the movie that had shot him to fame. Die Hard IV: "Live Free or Die Hard" (what the?!) is directed by Len Wiseman and the production is expected to start as early as next month.

"Live Free or Die Hard" tells a modern day terrorist threat on the US computer network that threatens to bring the country to a standstill. The hero played by Bruce Willis is called in, again, to save the day. Twentieth Century Fox promised that the fourth installment in the Die Hard series will feature the "biggest, most realistic pieces in the franchise's history".
While the old men stretch their muscles, the mature lady flaunt their charm.

Early last month, Sharon Stone returns in the role of the deadly-sexy, best-selling novelist in Basic Instinct II. However, the box-office and movie critics seems to have suggested that her legs-crossing feat could not do any miracle, twice.
