All quiet on the movie front

THERE has been a lot of talk about the planned Formula 1 movie but there is no sign that it is ever going to be made. Shooting for the film was supposed to begin this year but there have long been rumors that Sylvester Stallone was having trouble raising the money necessary to fund the project.

It was highly significant that Stallone was nowhere to be seen at Monaco and despite the fact that the Cannes Film Festival is in full swing there were no large parties of film people as there were last year, although stars Jeff Goldblum and Val Kilmer did turn up to watch the action.
