Maybe Sly did some of his own boxing in a few of those "Rocky" movies, and he took a few too many shots to the noggin... Keith Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Okay, what's up with Stallone? Isn't this the time when he should be making intelligent dramas, films that require him to *act*? I know the dude doesn't need the money, so why go back to these wells again? Is he just desperate for adulation and blockbusters again? The first "Rocky" had an Oscar-worthy script. The second was good, too. After that it was camp and repetition hell. Same for everything after the moderately entertaining "First Blood". So why, a few days after hearing about a new Rocky, are we now hearing he's going back to Rambo??? Maybe he needs to go hang out with Robert Redford... Stallone in 'Rambo IV' After Next 'Rocky' LOS ANGELES - Rambo is back in business. Sylvester Stallone will reprise his role as gun-toting John Rambo in the upcoming "Rambo IV," said Ben Nedivi of Millennium Films, which is producing the project with Emmett/Furla Films. The 59-year-old Stallone also intends to bring boxer Rocky Balboa out of retirement. He will write and direct "Rocky Balboa," the sixth film in that franchise, with shooting set to begin next year. Production is set to begin after "Rocky Balboa" wraps. Michelle Bega, a spokeswoman for Stallone, said the actor wasn't available for comment Friday. A new "Rambo" script hasn't yet been written, but the story calls for the reclusive Vietnam veteran to return to his vigilante ways when a young girl is kidnapped. The first three films grossed a combined $614 million worldwide. -----Original Message----- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Keith Johnson Sent: Monday, October 17, 2005 23:17 To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: [scifinoir2] "Yo! Adrian!!" What can you say about this? I wish he'd keep making films like the excellent but underrated "Copland". I guess they feel "Rocky" is more commericial, but is it?? Lord, just tell me they're not going to bring Survivor back to score the film! Stallone sets stage for "Rocky" comeback film Down but never out, actor Sylvester Stallone is forging a movie comeback for the unlikely boxing champion, Rocky Balboa, who sent Stallone's star soaring and won Oscars nearly 30 years ago, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer said on Monday. Stallone, 59, will reprise his role in the sixth "Rocky" film, titled "Rocky Balboa," playing the Philadelphia boxer who is lured out of a long retirement to fight a championship bout while dealing with personal tragedy outside the ring. "'Rocky Balboa' is about everybody who feels they want to participate in the race of life, rather than be a bystander. You're never too old to climb a mountain, if that's your desire," Stallone said in a statement. The original "Rocky" in 1976 told of a lowly club fighter in Philadelphia who gets his one shot at the championship title and loses in a split decision but wins a personal triumph. It proved to be a box office smash, raking in $117 million and winning Oscars, the U.S. film industry's top honors, for directing, editing and best film. Stallone, who also wrote the screenplay, was nominated for best actor but lost to Peter Finch for "Network." Most successor films proved strong with fans as a parade of high-profile pugilists battled Rocky, including actors Mr. T and Dolph Lundgren. But "Rocky V" failed to excite fans and earned a meager $41 million at U.S. and Canadian box offices. MGM President Dan Taylor said he was convinced that "a whole new generation of filmgoers (is) ready to be introduced" to Rocky Balboa and his life in and out of the ring. The new film will begin production early next year and is backed by MGM, Columbia Pictures, and Revolution Studios.
