New Look At Samaritan Sylvester Stallone's Retired Superhero

Sylvester Stallone is a grizzled old retired superhero in a new image from the long-awaited movie Samaritan. Stallone of course became a screen legend playing the underdog boxer Rocky Balboa and the underdog soldier John Rambo in two of film history’s most successful franchises. Now the star will try to make magic again by playing an underdog ex-superhero in the gritty action movie Samaritan.


Superheroes of course were not such a big deal back when Stallone was raking in huge money as a worldwide action superstar in the 1980s and 1990s. But the Hollywood landscape has definitely changed in the last few decades, and Stallone has been forced to adapt along with it. The Rocky star obviously has already appeared in one huge comic book movie franchise, playing Stakar Ogord in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (a role he will reprise in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3). Samaritan however sees Stallone not as a supporting performer but a full headliner, playing a once-famous superhero who’s vanished entirely from the scene until a young boy (Javon Walton) finds him living anonymously as a garbage man. Stallone's superhero turn in Samaritan indeed was originally supposed to come out in theaters way back in November of 2020 but various delays have put that release off until summer of 2022. Not many glimpses have been seen of the oft-delayed movie so far, but Fandango does have a new image showing Stallone in full retired-superhero mode walking the filthy streets with his new young friend. The above new image indeed gives a rare look at a movie that for whatever reason is thus far flying under the radar when it comes to upcoming 2022 releases. A trailer for Samaritan was in fact shown at CinemaCon in 2021, and some footage was previewed at 2022’s CinemaCon that showed Stallone among other things flashing his quick-healing superhero powers and getting into a huge warehouse fight with multiple bad guys. Given that the movie is finally set to come out in a few months, it seems some kind of trailer should be arriving sooner rather than later.


A big deal to see Stallone making his first starring foray in the world of superhero movies after all these years. Of course it’s easy to understand why Stallone would be hesitant to do such comic book-type material given the major disaster his Judge Dredd movie turned out to be back in 1995. But hopefully the star will have a better experience with Samaritan, playing a character who seems to be something of a reluctant hero and typically Stallone-esque underdog. The movie is set for release on August 26, 2022.

The Progressive era C. B. J. Snyder for Schools

A biography of school architect C. B. J. Snyder, opens a view onto a lost and glorious world of public education in New York City. Early 20th-century Progressives believed that mass public education could combine democracy and excellence. Their hopes shaped the 408 new schools and additions that Snyder designed during his 1891 to 1922 tenure as New York’s superintendent of school buildings. To a degree, Progressives’ hopes were fulfilled. Some Snyder schools, such as Erasmus Hall and Morris High, would produce long lists of notable alumni despite being neighborhood, not exam schools. Snyder biographer Jean Arrington invites us to consider the contribution that design makes to excellence in education. Three factors accounted for the extravagant scale of Snyder’s school building program. The first two were the revenues pouring into the city treasury and the pressures of surging enrollment. In the current era, New York’s traditional district schools have been losi...

It may be tainted, but don’t underestimate the power of brand love

The concept of ‘brand love’ was overused and went out of fashion, it remains an insightful way to consider consumers’ attitudes towards brands. You do realise that this is fantastically untrendy research? I explained to the team from Savanta, when they approached me to give the launch speech for their 2022 Most Loved Brand Award. To top things off, I added, you’ve only gone and split out your findings by segments of the market too. Which is also fantastically uncool. It’s true, is it not? The merest mention of ‘brand love’ elicits a collective groan from the gaggle of opinion leaders that monitor every discussion about marketing. And slicing anything these days by segment opens up the obligatory critique about the pointlessness of segmentation and the reinstalled dominance of mass marketing. It’s a big week for returning shows across the streaming platforms. We have a Season 2, a Season 4, and a Season 9 revving up for release in the coming days, ranging from an A-list workplace co...
