Rocky VI News
Last Update 15th July 2006
Bill Conti, who composed the music for the previous Rocky films has returned to write the music for Rocky 6.
Conti conducted a 44-piece orchestra, with strings and brass recorded separately, through the forty-minutes of underscore. As with all the previous Rocky films that he's scored, Conti performed the piano himself. On the last day of recording, six singers were employed to lend their vocal skills, performing the Oscar-nominated "Gonna Fly Now", as well as a few cues that required their services.
It has been rumoured Rocky 6: Rocky Balboa will be released in December 2006 by sources close to Sylvester Stallone.

Source ABC News Yo Adrian! Rocky is planning another comeback. Fifteen years after starring in "Rocky V," Sylvester Stallone is reprising his role as the boxing champ in the sixth "Rocky" movie, publicist Michelle Bega said Monday. 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 am drawing on a lot of my feelings that are in sync with many people's feelings about facing the last chapter of their lives and how they want it to be written," Stallone said. Dan Taylor, president of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which is co-producing the film, said the movie focuses less on boxing and more on character. "It's about self-examination, an opportunity to see what kind of person he is and act on it," Taylor said. It wasn't immediately clear whether Talia Shire, who appeared in five previous "Rocky" films as the boxer's love interest, Adrian, will return in the sixth installment, said Stuart Herriot, a spokesman with Revolution Studios, which is co-producing the film. "In the script, she did pass away, but it's unsure whether she might appear in a flashback or in older footage," Herriot said. "It's too early in the production to tell." But, Herriot said, Burt Young is expected to return as Adrian's brother, Paulie. Stallone wrote all the "Rocky" films and directed the second, third and fourth entries. The first movie, released in 1976, won three Oscars, including best picture and best director for John G. Avildsen.

20/09/2005 Former THE A TEAM star MR T is set to reprise his role of CLUBBER LANG in the upcoming ROCKY VI film. The 1980s icon played ROCKY BALBOA's tough, non-nonsense opponent in ROCKY III and he'll reteam with SYLVESTER STALLONE in the latest instalment of the boxing film franchise. According to movie gossip website www.moviehole.net, Mr T, real name LAWRENCE TUREAUD - won't be the only former Rocky star returning for the new movie - RICHARD GANT and BURT YOUNG are also set to return for the sixth film. Stallone has been creating interest for the movie, which he has written, by posting storyboards in his new health magazine SLY.
Filming for Rocky VI is due to start in December 2005 according to sources close to Sylvester Stallone.
The script for the film has already been completed and Stallone hope to starts filming sooner rather than later to allow him to also create another sequel to the hit film Rambo.
SYLVESTER STALLONE announced his intention to make ROCKY VI. The 58-year-old OSCAR-winner is keen to bring the popular story back to the big screen, 15 years after retiring the fictional boxing legend. And feeling toned and healthier than ever after the launch of his fitness book SLY MOVES, he has no qualms about returning to the ring. He says, "I'm still working out, so why not? I'll take a shot at it. "It's all about the message and the scepticism, because when you reach a certain age people become sceptical about what you can do." "You may not have the skill but you can have the will and that can drive you through.

Stallone is said to be working on a sixth 'Rocky' film, however the plans for the movie have reportedly been put on hold after MGM studios, who own the rights to the series, turned down Stallone's proposed script.

Sylvester Stallone told Entertainment Weekly that he has completed a script for the film, but the sticking point at this point is budget. He says MGM wants to only spend $10 million, but that he is holding out for more like a $20 million budget (that's for the whole film; not just his talents as actor/writer). Stallone said he's up for one more, but added "What are you going to do, wait 20 years? It's now or never."
The idea for Rocky VI 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 running a youth centre when he is lured out of retirement for one last fight. Similarities with George Forman have been reported.
The following actors (along with Burt Young and Tony Burton) have been rumoured to have been linked with an appearance in Rocky VI:
