Italian Stallion Rides Again!!!

Hey folks, Harry here with a day that will long live in the memory of AB King! Variety is publishing today that the sixth Rocky film is set to go at Sony, Revolution and MGM! This, I'm giddy about. First, I love that it isn't being called ROCKY VI, but rather... ROCKY BALBOA... there's something final feeling about that, beyond just the idea that if Stallone were to do one beyond this, he'd need digital wire removal so there wouldn't be walkers in the ring. The overall theme of this one is about looking at that final chapter in your life and deciding how you want to be remembered. Former Heavyweight Champion Roy Jones Jr will be playing Balboa's opponent Mason Dixon. While I'd prefer that he fight zombie Apollo Creed on a Post-Apocalyptic Earth ruled by Deadites and with Ash as the Ring Announcer. Ahem... sorry, that's probably just me. Apparently this sucker will begin shooting relatively soon and is hoping to be more along the lines of the dramatics of ROCKY and ROCKY II. Pauly will be back, no word on Talia Shire or Clubber Lang. But, I'm anxious to see Stallone's facial mitt catching 30 to 40 gloves a minute in the final round. And NO COMPUTER BLOOD SPRAYS, I like those facial squibs at 120 fps. Heh. Oh, and Bill Conti is back! ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY! ROCKY!
