UPDATE: European readers over at CHUD have debunked this rumor, claiming Stallone’s quotes were taken out of context: he was actually referring in the past tense to Rocky Balboa all along. The internet breathes a collective sigh of relief.
Sylvester Stallone is one of my favorite Hollywood personalities and I generally support his decisions, but this one is pushing the realm of believability.
According to Teen Say, Stallone plans on filming another Rocky movie after Rambo 5 is done, and he hopes to release it in 2010. Seems a bit strange, doesn’t it? Some said Rocky Balboa was unnecessary, but I thought it was a nice bookend for one of Stallone’s most famous characters. But it now seems I was wrong about that whole “bookend” thing.
“I know I’ll probably make a fool of myself if I make another ‘Rocky’ film after I turn 60…you have to do it. Artists like me have to go through the dark over and over again. I know it’s ludicrous and everyone would laugh. 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.”
Sly – wasn’t that the whole point of Rocky Balboa? Like I said – I dig the guy, but I don’t know if I’m behind him on this project. I’d much rather see another entry in The Expendables (potential) franchise than see him go back to Rocky after he so nicely wrapped things up with the most recent film in that series. What do you think?

well this depends…if he's training someone else and he DOSNT GET IN THE RING… then it could be a decent film. it needs to be another guys story(yeah im aware he already had a protege )but stalone dosnt need to get in the ring again!!
Is he hanging out with Harrison Ford? He too is thinking of another Indiana Jones movie.
Rocky already trained someone else, Rocky 5. So, what else can Rocky do? Die? I too thought Rocky Balboa was a good movie and a good finale to a 'once great' movie franchise, like Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. What is wrong with making a 'Finale' or a 'Bookend'?
If the public wants another Rocky movie, wait awhile, and come out with a totally NEW Rocky, new actor, new direction, new look, … some updates and tweeks. This had worked for Star Trek last summer and James Bond (Bond does a relaunch almost every decade).
I respect Stallone for the movies he has done, but ROCKY is DONE! With that said if you want to revisit a legendary character, can we please get a little more COBRA!? An aging Cobretti blasting the newest knife weilding cult…HELLS YA!
Hey, if he's still got that monster in the basement, who are we to tell him what he can do…
The only person that can tell him what to do is himself!
Nice love me some Rocky
now this would show him passing down his skills and knowledge to his son
those words about when he was going to make a fool is about rocky balboa not rocky 7 rocky 7 is not happing
