Sylvester Stallone needs fans help to get his next movie off the ground

Yes that Sylvester Stallone who has done 6 Rocky movies and 3 Rambo movies which all put together made billions and that is only 9 of his movie credits over his 40-plus years of making movies is actually asking fans to donate to his next movie Reach Me. This absolutely silly as trying to raise money through donation is an absolutely indy movie that would likely be made for maybe 50,000 but no more than 100,000 and with a guy like Stallone doing the movie it not a movie that needs fans to help pay the bills. So it is been done after a major investor bailed on the movie so the cast has been making little to nothing and that is why they are looking for fans help to finish the movie. They have raised 20,000 dollars so far with the incentive for donating is signed copies of script, visits on set, and even meeting the cast. So new director John Herzfeld who came in after the investor bailed has decided to go to Kickstarter.com and have them set up a fund for the movie to boost the actors sprits and Stallone has stepped up and did a video to support the cause. So Stallone if he really was confidence he would put up whatever money is needed to keep the strive actors get what they need to make ends meet til the movie is released and to say that Stallone would have this money would be an understatement as there is no way he could of blown all of that money he has made in his long career and he allowing things going in this direction does nothing for his image. So Stallone in reach me is a former sports coach turned writer writing a self help book and it maybe not very good a.k.a. the investor bailing but with a low budget and Stallone in it could easily make the money back and if Stallone as an investor he would make his money back as he could get ticket sales of half a mil which would be way enough to cover expenses. Him putting his own money into the project would give him a huge boost in his reputation and it really look good on the 67 year old. Stallone looks really silly allowing the money to go in this direction Tom Mehegan
