A major documentary about Sylvester Stallone, SLY, is now showing on Netflix. I’m thrilled that one of my favorite directors, Quentin Tarantino, mentions me and my novel FIRST BLOOD, which became the first of the Rambo films.
@_DavidMorrell Hi David. Excellent doc on Sly and much discussion on your creation “Rambo” including why Stallone was uncomfortable with the original ending…I found it fascinating…
@_DavidMorrell I agree that QT is one of the greatest directors. I just got finished reading his novelization of "Once Upon A Time in Hollywood" and it had a lot of great backstory (especially on stuntman Clint Booth) plus Hollywood lore.
@_DavidMorrell Congratulations! First Blood is not just a book with a good story, its a very well written one as well. The violence descriptions really have a weight and I always come back to read it in order to think about some ideas as inspiration for writing
@_DavidMorrell Congratulations! Huge fan. Testament was the first book of yours I read. It was so unique I knew I had to read more. I always have appreciated the way you change things up from book to book, rather than following a similar blueprint each time.
@_DavidMorrell First Blood is a keystone of the genre!
