Midnight In The Switchgrass EXCLUSIVE: Megan Fox grills a gritty-looking Sistine Stallone

She’s fresh to the professional acting world.

But Sistine Stallone demonstrated her stellar dramatic skills while opposite Megan Fox in an exclusive clip from the upcoming film Midnight In The Switchgrass.

In the scene Sistine, 23, transforms into a disheveled, glassy-eyed informant who reveals key information that could lead to the serial killer Fox’s character FBI agent Rebecca Lombardi is hunting down.

The second generation thespian – who is Sylvester Stallone’s daughter – was captivating as she sat in a dirty motel room while her character Heather frantically told Fox’s character how she was being forced to work off a debt by supplying a shady character with young women.

Though the scene was far from glamourous, Sistine’s acting more than proved her star-power. 

The film’s director Randall Emmett called Sistine ‘the real deal,’ in an interview, saying how she was his first pick for the role, even before he knew she was friend Sly’s daughter.

‘What’s amazing about Sistine is she came to me through Sheila Jaffe, my casting director,’ Emmett, who is married to Vanderpump Rules’ Lala Kent, explained.

‘I had no idea, and I’ve done many movies with Sylvester Stallone, but I had no idea she was Stallone’s daughter. I didn’t know her.’

‘I don’t think we’d even ever met. And when she read she became my first choice for this role, and I looked at her last name and I said, “Is that Sylvester Stallone’s daughter? Oh, wow!”

The funny story about this whole thing is that I cast her and never called Sly, who is a friend, I never called him to say, “Your daughter’s in my movie.”

‘And it wasn’t until we were in Puerto Rico, because she shot (her scenes) in Puerto Rico, and we were at a cast dinner or something like that and I spoke to Sly on the phone and he’s like, “Hey, my daughter’s in your movie.”

‘I had no idea, and I’m like, “Yeah, I cast her because she was the best actor for the role.” And he’s like, “That’s awesome. She’s so excited.” 

‘I said to him, “Obviously, you know this, you’re an incredible actor and director yourself, but your daughter’s very talented, and I cast her off a tape.”

‘And it was really neat that that happened, because it doesn’t happen a lot like that when you have a very famous family. But Sistine Stallone is the real deal and an incredible actress.’
