  3. Hey Craig,
    Didn’t know who you were until I clicked on the dotcom just moments ago. Sifting through all of the comments have me more than confident that the Sly Staff (like that?) have picked the right man for the job… the blog is simple, but gets the job done and the pictures… well, words can’t describe. This freshest pic of Sly as Rocky really captures the essence, the epitome of what Rocky is all about. A fighter, a guy who wears plain sweats and does just that – sweats – working hard for his living. I wonder what Rocky is thinking in this scene. Hm. I would guess that it’s something along the lines of “Eye of the Tiger. I still got it. Eye of the Tiger.”
    Sly, Happy 60th birthday!
    Wishing you all the success you deserve,
    Tony Cellura

  4. OMG! It’s Rocky again! This pic hits home so much, it makes it so real to me. Seeing him jogging in gray sweats…nothing can be sweeter. I can’t wait!

    Thanks for doing such a great job on this blog Craig.

  20. Rocky is a legend nothing could beat the rocky films theyreally get ye goin i just cant wait for the film to come out !!!

  21. Oh God. I am so excited and I want to know everything now! I thought I would be the only one interested in the movie, but I was wiling to be the only one there before, I love him and all the movies so much. I even have my little boy just as excited as I am. I have his picture on my desk at work. I watch Rocky 1-99 everytime they come on TV. My family is sick of me. People cannot believe what a nut I am over Rocky, but they better believe because its real. Oh God. I can’t wait. I want my ticket today!

    The long countdown begins! December? I was getting excited over the preview. This is big!

  22. Can’t wait for this movie, but where is Talia shire? did rocky get divorced and remarry?

  23. i read the book all ready… it’s great except for the time’s Rocky thinks he see’s Micky and is always tring to talk to him

  28. Sly:

    I believe in the film idea about an aging Rocky teaching the youth boxing; but not “safe sex”. The idea of “save sex for marriage” is best.

    I hope it will be a big success; like Rocky I. So, all I can say is “GO FOR IT’!

  29. Hi, i am an Italian student. Oh my gud. It’s incredible, Sly has decided Rocky Balboa for love of anymore body. It’s more incredible, it’s a real man Rocky because he is in hearts of everybody. Thack you blog of Rocky Balboa 🙂

    I’d rather call you rocky. You are one of the greatest inspiration of my life. I am so happy for you doing this movie at 60 years old inspiration meets the highest expectations when it comes you and what you have done for people you have saved many people. Just like mick said in rocky 5 ,” some people die when they dont have the motivisation to live no more with you kid i got you give me life? that was the most powerful line I have ever heard in a movie and I love it soo much.

    Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your movies since the begining of Rocky. I was only 7 when it came out. Now I made my son and my nephew fans. I will be forever a fan, you are truly an inspiration to all Italian Americans. We Love You Rock!!
    Yours Truley,
