And does this mean that, when Stallone turns 80, he is still going to be

Stallone getting back in ring for sixth 'Rocky'

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 (NYSE:SNE -
news).
