PostRocky 7 :O
by gaminglegend » Tue Oct 27, 2009 5:11 pm

We have the movie news thread, but this deserves its own for GR to discuss, the possibilty of Rocky 7, Stallone seems to think so :fp:

http://www.movietribune.com/news/sylvester-stallone-working-on-rambo-5-and-rocky-7/

With “The Expendables” finishing up production, Sylvester Stallone will be headed to the set of “Rambo V: The Savage Hunt”. In this rendition, Rambo battles a genetically created “feral beast” when an elite team fails to stop its rampage. As soon as Rambo wraps up, it seems he’d be taking on “Rocky 7”.

Tele5 Germany’s conversation with Stallone, he reveals his seventh take on the revival of his iconic role Rocky. “I know I’ll probably make a fool of myself if I make another ‘Rocky’ film after turning 60,” said Stallone, who is now 63 years old.

Despite his wife and kids disappointment for his return to his classic role, he hopes to evolve it into something deeper and more personal. “I would laugh about it. But I also know that I’d be successful if I can make this a film about becoming older, not about boxing but about myself. Even my wife says, ‘Don’t do it. You’re embarrassing the kids’. But I told her, ‘If I don’t try I’ll be a really unhappy man.’ You have to do it. Artists like me have to go through the dark over and over again.”

With the previous 2006 “Rocky Balboa” earning $155 million on a $24 million budget, hopes are high that if these rumors are true, “Rocky 7” would also hit a huge wave of success in late 2010 or early 2011.

This supposed "story" was taken from an interview 3 years ago and dressed up to be current.

There are no plans to do a Rocky 7. Stallone thinks that the character was given a fitting finale in Rocky Balboa:

Also the interview that has been running with Sly talking about doing another Rocky – hello people – that was done 3 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is not a new interview and Sly has no intention of doing another Rocky – Rocky Balboa was the perfect bookend to the original Rocky – nothing left to say. I personally am pushing Sly to do Poe – but that will have to wait until he does the next movie – whatever that may be.


I'm locking this, but easy mistake-a to make-a, given how it was reported.
