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.

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.

Stallone sets stage for "Rocky" comeback film 

2 hours, 32 minutes ago 

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.

MGM is owned by an investor group led by Sony Pictures Entertainment, a
unit of Sony Corp (NYSE:SNE - news). Columbia is a division of Sony
Pictures, and Revolution is privately held.

Why not let Survivor score his next film? Weird Al needs some more ammunition
