Sylvester Stallone Denies 'Bullet To The Head' Rumor

Despite reports to the contrary, all is going well in the editing room of "Bullet to the Head." A rumor sprouted up over the weekend that Sylvester Stallone was behind Warner Bros pulling "Bullet to the Head" from their release schedule only weeks before it was slated to hit theaters. Allegedly he had taken control of the editing room from director Walter Hill. However both Stallone and Warner Bros have stepped out to state that the rumor is just that: a rumor.

Stallone told Ain't It Cool News that the story is "an egregious lie, I have nothing to do with the editing to 'Bullet to the Head.' Walter is doing a FANTASTIC job! I think it is a FANTASTIC job and he's editing it!"

Warner Bros issued their own statement negating the rumor. Here it is in its entirety:

"Contrary to recent inaccurate and unfounded reports that Sylvester Stallone had taken over the editing of 'Bullet to the Head,' director Walter Hill continues his editing of the movie. Walter Hill said today, 'I'm currently finishing up and locking reels on the movie -- as to the content and style of the film, Sly and I are in perfect sync. I'm delighted with the way the film is turning out and hopefully so will the audience.' "

Twitch was first with the word that Stallone was overseeing a new cut of the film. The website claimed that Stallone's new-found control over the movie was the reason that Warner Bros took the movie off the studio's release schedule. Twitch also claimed that WB was targeting November as the new month "Bullet to the Head" would hit theaters, though neither the studio nor Stallone commented on that.
