  • Story Text: Film star Sylvester Stallone on Tuesday (October 3) gave his verdict on the guilt of football hero O.J. Simpson, who is accused of the double murder of his ex-wife and her friend.
    Asked on location in Italy -- where he is filming a new movie -- whether O.J. will make films, Stallone joked: "I guess we won't see him in any movies unless they remake Cut Throat Island." Stallone was speaking at Rome's Cinecitta studios where work has begun on "Daylight", his latest action movie which he described as a psychological thriller.
    In the film, Stallone stars as Kit Latura, a New York emergency medic called to rescue a group of people when a massive explosion seals bothof a tunnel under the Hudson river.
    Latura works out way to get inside the tunnel but becomes trapped with the group and is forced to improvise a dangerous escape to lead his charges back to daylight.
