Rocky to return!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like it could be good, I have always loved this franchise.
LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Sylvester Stallone is signing on to reprise his role as boxer Rocky Balboa in the sixth installment of
the long-running film series, which he wrote and will direct.
The film, titled "Rocky Balboa," will be co-produced and co-financed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Columbia Pictures and Revolution Studios and will be
distributed by Columbia Pictures.
Stallone has been trying to make a sixth movie for years and has been reworking a script. The latest version, which sources said is similar to the
tone and grit of the first two movies, persuaded the studios to negotiate a deal.
"In many ways, the screenplay really took me back to the original 'Rocky,' " Revolution Studios founder Joe Roth said in a statement. "As a past
champion, Rocky Balboa is once again a regular guy who has to find himself and deal with real life. This film brings Rocky's story full circle."
In the new installment, Rocky, lonely and retired in Philadelphia, comes out of retirement, intending to fight a few low-profile local fights. He's
approached to fight a match with reigning heavyweight champ Mason "The Line" Dixon, and soon his comeback ignites a media firestorm.
"'Rocky Balboa' is about everybody who feels they want to participate in the race of life, rather than be a bystander," Stallone said in a statement.
"You're never too old to climb a mountain, if that's your desire."
Shooting is scheduled to begin in December in Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
Stallone received Academy Award nominations for starring in and writing "Rocky," and the 1976 MGM film won an Oscar for best picture, best director
(John G. Avildsen) and best editing (Richard Halsey, Scott Conrad). The movie grossed $117.3 million at the domestic boxoffice, making Stallone a film
star and creating one of cinema's most famous characters.
It also launched one of the most successful film series of all time. 1979's "Rocky II" grossed $85 million, and 1982's "Rocky III," which featured Mr.
T, grossed $120.2 million. "Rocky IV," with Dolph Lundgren, made $125.4 million after its 1985 release. By the decade's close, however, audiences
seemed to have tired of the character. "Rocky V," released in 1990, made only $40 million.
"Rocky Balboa" is the first film to be green-lit by MGM since it was acquired by Sony Corp.

my brother has that Rocky boxed set and on one of the special features it says that the original plan for Rocky 5 was for Rocky to die in or after a
fight. But the movie studio nixed that idea after they had already invested in the movie so they had to make the sucky Rocky 5 that we have today.

We don't need another Rocky movie. They killed the franchise with that horrendous piece of shit known as Rovky V. That movie licked more balls then
every emo and homocore band put together.

Rocky V was a joke, the original Rocky was all about the struggles of a working class neighborhood, it had real grit and feeling to it, part V was a
shadow attempt at that feeling. I did like like when Rocky nailed that Don King wannabee motherfucker though. Tommy Gun has the HIV??

I think that 3, 4 & 5 are my favorites.
I remember when they filmed in Philly and they had the huge Rocky statue & Stalone wanted to leave it as a donation to the city & the city said no,
get it out of here. Hahaa....

when i was bullied in middle school rocky is what made me and my bro kept going...we saved money got punching bags, did push ups and sit ups watched
rocky every day. haha it didnt make us any bigger but it makes for good memories.
just take a look at the papers
your leaders
they\'re killers
they\'re liars
what they do in your
name to make the bodies pile higher
the murders, the terror
they\'ve done it forever
as we sit band and smile
at the script they sell us
but now the victims, they\'re rising
their numbers\'s multiplying
they want their revenge for the years
that they\'ve been dying

man I am not a big fan of Rocky V but I have to agree with jason on this one... It is the definitive portrayal of betrayal... You take someone in and
try to teach him what you know but only to be stabbed in the back because of money..... Its definately the american way of doing things... step on the
ones that you love and loved you just to get ahead in life so to speak...
Me for one think that they should have stopped at Rocky 4 .... I mean come on now you had Mr T, Hulk Hogan, Tommy Gunn, Dolph Lundgren... I mean who
the hell is going to play the bad ass in this movie.... man are people in Hollywood SERIOUSLY RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS of movies that they have to do more
sequels and remakes of cult classics....
I mean you have had remakes that NEVER should have happened in the first place coming out now like AMYTIVILLE HORROR, HOUSE OF WAX, DAWN OF THE DEAD,
TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and more.... I mean come on now there are better movies and screenplays out there so you dont have to continue to do this

I actually have enjoyed alot of these remakes as well, especially some of the horror ones, and theres no sign of slowing with a remake of The Omen on
the horizen as well as The hills have eyes. The new Rocky is not a remake though, it's the sixth installment in the series.

Rocky V while not the best film in the franchise is still great.
"you knocked him down....now why don't you try knocking me down."
