I didn't even know you could count that high in Roman numerals!

The 59-year-old actor will write and direct "Rocky Balboa," which will begin shooting in Philadelphia and Las Vegas next year.
Stallone told the Daily Variety trade magazine the movie will focus on an aging, widowed Rocky who is reluctant to get back in the ring but ends up doing it "just to compete, not to win."

I can see it now. "Rocky VI, Rocky Balboa"

"Rocky VII, Rocky...Who Cares"

"Rocky VIII, Rocky vs. Jason"

It's getting to be like A Clockwork Orange of Rocky movies.
NO NO! I'll DO ANYTHING! JUST DON"T MAKE ME WATCH ANOTHER ONE! STOP! STOOOOOP!

With all that botox I'm surprised he can even move his head to bob and weave.

It says that Rocky steps back into the ring in this one. Even Goerge Foreman quit in his 40s, right? Sylvester Stallone is in his late 50s now, I think? Yes, the article says 59 years old...it just doesn't seem very realistic.

maybe he'll get the other side of his face paralysed and give up finally.
BTW - didn't know if you knew this, but that paralysis is due to a forceps delivery at birth, not botox.

indeed.

from wikipeida:

His trademark sneer, lazy eyes, and slurred speech are the result of paralysis in the left side of his face caused by birth complications.

what a shame.

I saw this and like millions of others groaned aloud.
I'm tired of these stupid sequels of sequels of sequels but the only way to get Hollywood to stop making them is for theater audiences to stop seeing them. They go by box-office draw and in-so-far they've found sequels to be a very good money making venture.
Some movies do require sequels it's true... but the trick is knowing when to stop. Stallone obviously is hurting for work and thus decided to go this route.
Agreed Rocky V was the turn-off for me. The first two obviously were the best of the whole series.
Don't look now but I'll betcha, I'll betcha big bucks... Swarzenegger will probably revise one of his recurrent movie roles when his guv'ner-ship is over with. Either that or he'll lobby to make a consitutional amendment to allow him to run for Prez...
(wouldn't that be ironic... In Stallone's futuristic tale "Demolition Man" with Sandra Bullock and Wesley Snipes; Bullock has a line that says that happened... :rolleyes: Oh please say it ain't so?)

Term4 and True Lies 2 are already on the books.
