ON THE FILM SIDE: IS STALLONE PLANNING A FIST II?

          SYLVESTER STALLONE says he wants to do a movie about
     GEORGE FOREMAN, "the ageless wonder who reclaimed his
     heavyweight crown at age 45 while transforming his image
     from ruthless puncher to smiling TV pitchman," according to
     Giselle Fernandez of "Access Hollywood."  Stallone: "I love
     the George Foreman story -- well, only because I think [he
     is] one of the few individuals in the world that truly did
     have a personality epiphany, a change, 100%" ("AH," 4/21).
          DOWN THE ROAD: "Frasier" star KELSEY GRAMMER will have
     a featured role in Universal Pictures' "New Jersey
     Turnpikes," a "mockumentary comedy" about a fictional
     American Basketball Association team in the '70s.  The film,
     which is expected to begin shooting in May, was written by
     HANK PERLMAN and MIKE BERG, who have worked on a number of
     ESPN's "SportsCenter" ads (DAILY VARIETY, 4/22).
