Friday 20th June 2003: Rocky VI Update:
Sylvester Stallone has been talking about Rocky VI ""Actually, (referring to the opponent), he's kind of in the same situation that Rocky was. Even though he's the champion, it's the same situation that Rocky was in in Rocky 1. You know, it's kind of like, an uncertain point in his life and even though he has all the skills, we don't know if he has the real heart for it".
Monday 3rd March 2003: Rocky VI Update:
The following information on Rocky 6 appeared online at AICN "It seems that Stallone has taken inspiration from George Foreman with ROCKY 6. George after getting whupped by Spinks just sort of walked away from boxing and gained weight, took up charity work, but then one day discovered that the money had run out for the charity and himself, and nobody would give him a loan, his friends told him that the ships had sailed. And he just didn't have anything anymore. He was an overweight, out of shape, middle aged man of questionable diminished fame. George decided to go back to boxing, mainly small club fights, tiny venues, people calling him a joke, but he was winning, and around that 16th fight, people started to take notice, things began to turn around. Well Stallone wants to basically tell that story, the has-been giving it a run story, but he also has in ROCKY 6 a character that he's heading towards fighting, a new champ, which represents the modern black athlete which is very different from the Apollo Creeds or Alis of yesteryear. That new generation of Athlete with their posses and hanger ons. And what he wants is a DMX or a LL COOL J type to have in there, that has his own reasons for fighting, his own motivations. Not just some icon of evil that he has to defeat, but someone with their own demons and their own reasons to step into that ring".
Wednesday 8th January 2003: Rocky VI Update:
Dolph Lundgren told B & K Sports Magazine that Sylvester Stallone may be writing his character, Russian boxer Ivan Drago, into the sixth Rocky film. Lundgren played Draco in possibly one of the best Rocky sequels, Rocky 4. "Sly's writing a new Rocky. The 6th one, and tells me he's going to try and write Ivan Drago in it. There's no way I'd miss out on an opportunity on sparring with Balboa again. In my opinion, Rocky IV, was one of the best Rocky sequels. Not the least - the better of my films. If we can get those two guys back in the ring again, we could have something special. And from what Sly tells me, it's going to be good. I look forward to doing it."
December 14 2002: Rocky VI Update:
Ageing Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone is set to dust off his fighting gloves for one more fling as the celebrated boxer Rocky.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc has signed Stallone to write a Rocky VI screenplay with an update to the story of the scrappy Philadelphia boxer who rises from a club fighter to champion of the world, gets knocked down, then rises again, an MGM spokeswoman said yesterday.
Details were sketchy because Stallone, who wrote and directed 1976's original Rocky, has just been hired, but the idea is to avoid the big-budget style of Hollywood sequels and return to the small, independent film feel of the original.
Early plans have Stallone, 56, portraying the fighter Rocky Balboa, again. But this time, he is running a youth centre when he is lured out of retirement for one last fight.
The first Rocky was a labour of love for Stallone who, at that time, had only been in bit parts in movies such as 1974's Lords of Flatbush. Not only did he write Rocky, he directed it and played Balboa.
