Screen legend Sylvester Stallone is set to triumphantly return to the streets of Philadelphia in the highly anticipated crime thriller, “The Epiphany.” While Stallone has become synonymous with the iconic boxer Rocky Balboa, this time, he will be stepping into the role of a seasoned police detective on the verge of retirement. The film, produced by AGC Studios and presented at the EFM (European Film Market), promises to deliver an intense and gritty story that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
In “The Epiphany,” Stallone’s character forms an unlikely alliance with a young and ambitious cop, played by an as-yet-unnamed rising star and a former priest who has become a renowned criminal profiler. Together, they must race against the clock to hunt down a twisted serial killer who is terrorizing the streets of Philadelphia.
Production is scheduled to begin this summer, with the entire film being shot on location in the city that has become synonymous with Stallone’s Rocky franchise. Director Will Eubank, best known for his work on the acclaimed horror film “Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin,” is set to bring his unique vision to the project. The screenplay, penned by the talented duo of Katie Lovejoy and Russell Sommer, promises to take audiences on a thrilling journey filled with suspense, mystery, and gritty realism.
Stallone’s decision to return to Philadelphia for “The Epiphany” feels like a natural progression for the actor, considering his strong ties with the city. With his recent involvement in Paramount+’s “Tulsa King” and the highly anticipated “Creed III,” Stallone continues to challenge himself creatively and explore new avenues within the industry. Additionally, fans can look forward to the upcoming Netflix documentary-biopic, “Sly,” which will delve deep into Stallone’s legendary career and provide a fascinating insight into the making of a cultural icon.
