In a shocking turn of events, Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone has decided to exit a $1 billion film project, citing discomfort with co-star Robert De Niro’s behavior, which he described as “creepy”. The project, which was anticipated to be a major blockbuster, has been under development for several years, with both stars attached to leading roles.

Stallone, known for his iconic roles in films like Rocky and Rambo, has not disclosed specific details regarding De Niro’s actions that led to his departure. However, sources close to the production reveal that tensions have been brewing on set for months. “It’s really unfortunate because everyone had high hopes for this collaboration,” one insider commented.

Robert De Niro, an acclaimed actor with a career spanning over five decades, has not yet responded to the allegations or Stallone’s departure. Representatives for De Niro have declined to comment on the situation.

This unexpected development raises questions about the future of the project. Producers are reportedly scrambling to find a solution, which might include recasting Stallone’s role or potentially reworking the script to accommodate the change.

Fans of both actors have expressed their disappointment and surprise on social media, with many speculating about the nature of the issues between the two stars. This incident adds another layer of intrigue to what was already one of the most anticipated films in Hollywood’s pipeline.

Industry experts suggest that the fallout could have significant financial and reputational impacts on the project. “When you have two titans of the industry unable to work together, it not only affects the project but also their individual careers and the studios involved,” noted a film analyst.

As the situation unfolds, the film community and audiences worldwide are eagerly waiting for more information on how the project will proceed without one of its marquee stars.
