What Does Sylvester Stallone Have to do With Edgar Allen Poe?

We would never in a million years make a connection between American author Edgar Allen Poe and American actor Sylvester Stallone, but that was before we knew about Sly's passion project.

Turns out, one of the first scripts Stallone ever wrote as a biopic about Poe, and he's itching to make it.

"This is when I got really serious about writing," Stallone says in this video posted to his Instagram.

"It's a never-ending journey, and I would hate myself if I don't continue it at least to the best of my ability and try to see it, actually, come to fruition. To be able to go out there and say, 'I accomplished it. It may have taken 45 years/50 years, but it's done.' Anyway. That's what I'm working on. It's been one of the great challenges of my life."


We REALLY want to see this project happen, here's hoping.
