Finally for today’s update we have another question with Sly!

Enjoy!
-Craig Zablo

Craig Zablo: Do you ever consider revisiting “The Bodyguard” or “Maggie’s Eyes” [two unproduced screenplays that Sly wrote]?

SYLVESTER STALLONE: Well, “The Bodyguard” could work. I don’t know if it’s right for me because, you know, you write it in a certain time in your life when you’re thinking like that, so that may be a naiveté. I would revisit them to direct. But I’m spending a lot of time on Rambo right now. That, that’s really an important film because I think that action films have somewhat gone out of favor or just gone out of style. Today it’s more fantasy, more sci-fi, more colorful action characters. It’s not so much flesh and blood. So I, I’d like to explore Rambo in a way that it’s almost an homage to action films because I don’t think they’re gonna stick around the way they were…[with]such a force, such a presence like in the 80’s and 70’s and, you know, up into the 90’s.

So doing Rambo’s going to be a real challenge because it’s kind of like a, you know, what you call a handmade, hands on film. Not a lot of CGI. It’s things that are actually feasible you know. I think it’s great what they do with “Spider-Man” and “X-Men”… it’s very creative. But I think this would also be a challenge too.

  2. craig…i think your awesome for doing what you have done, but i hope people don’t bash you for posting a pic that has nothing to deal with the movie…..you have balls, people are crazy these days…i can’t wait for the new movie man. i watch the trailer when I wake up, before i go to the gym, and when i go to bed. I probabaly will get on of those staues though.

  3. WE LOVE YA ROCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK 🙂
    Good luck Sly on everything you do. Cant wait for Rambo to ocme back either……..

  5. You are right,Sly! Today action films are ok,but much fantasy and only special effects. Rocky Balboa is real character and Rambo will be real action! No Star Wars,no X man,but real muscles and fights!! Wish you luck Sylvester. Marek from Czech republik

  10. Very cool statues i think i might get me one of those 🙂
    Cant wait for Rambo IV iver
    .Sly show everyone how to make a cool action movie the old way 😉

  11. Sly, Welcome back man. It’s long over due. I have to admit, I hope Rocky opens with the traditional Rocky VI across the scene or Rocky Balboa. Either way it’s gonna kick ass.

  12. I saw Casino Royale today and they showed a trailer for Rocky Balboa Movie, the new trailer, as soon as the theme started people applauded and when the trailer ended, alot of people were whispering “I can’t believe he did it” alot of curious and excited people can’t wait for this!

  15. Sly sounds in top form. There was no better action hero in the 80’s than Rambo. I’m sure a lot of Hollywood’s action crowd are going to take notes when they see Rambo 4. Sly will show them all how to make a proper movie. COME ON!!!!

  17. He does sound in top form. Looks like making few pictures, better, with more personal creative control is paying off!

    That is an awesome trailer!

  18. ONLY FIVE MORE WEEKS!!!!!!!!! I absoloutely cannot wait to see this film!!! I went to see Casino Royale on Friday and ROCKY BALBOA was the FIRST trailer they showed! It was electrifying!!! to say the LEAST:)!! As soon as I heard Sly’s voice come over the speakers in the theater, I jumped out of my seat and gave him a standing ovation!!! while everyone else in the theater remained seated! The new trailer is PURELY INCREDIBLE! We will see some tv spots here pretty soon!!!! I am going to see Rocky Balboa on opening day December 22 along all of the rest of the ROCKY fans in America! Casino Royale was nothing short of SPECTACULAR by the way, Daniel Craig is by far the BEST Bond EVER!!!! Rocky Balboa will be the holiday event of the season!!! Sly, I cannot think of anything more to say but THANKYOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! Luv Ya Sly! That rap song in the new trailer was PERFECT! I LOVED IT!!! Peace – Aron Scott

  20. Oh the JOYYYYYYYYYYY, Rocky 6 , I still don’t belive that it is true. I saw the shorts and we all know what is going to happen but who cares it will be the movie of the decade, by a long way. Roco looking better than ever, blount forced trouma sounds good. The only thing that makes me happeir is Rambo 4, lets face it we needed a new one we are helpin the Afganies fight the russians any more. Do you think it will be a remake of no 3 in reverse, what ever way just bring back the great old action we all love and have missed so much. Thanks for all the great times and inspiration SLY, us middle size white guys still have someone out their for us, its good its you.

    Thanks Again, Adam Warwick

  21. I want you all to know that I have just purchased “www.therockysaga.com”
    I will be having it built in a professional manner with the entire Rocky Movies/info.
    for now you can see a simple version at
    myspace.com/therockymovie
    and I promise just as soon as my official “The Rocky Saga” website is up, you will all love it.
    God Bless

  22. Statues remind me of those little statues you get when you visit the Statue of Liberty. Maybe a special “onsite” replica version could be sold from within the Philadelphia Art Museum, with proceeds going to a worthy cause!

    Climb the steps to get your Rocky!

  23. This could be the best statuette ever… except that a Chuck Norris action figure could roundhouse kick the Rocky figurine into another dimension if he wanted to.

    The world is lucky that Chuck gets along well with everybody…. until he doesn’t.

  24. I went to see the new Bond movie, just to get a look at the Rocky trailer, and it wasn’t shown…is there a certain brand name of theatre I should be going to?

  25. Hello Sylvester Stallone’s fans! How are you? Everybody fine? I hope all be right.
    My nick name is Eddy Nice, I’m from Brazil, South America. I beg your pardon for my bad English again. I’m so sorry. Let me try to writer, please?
    The author (any art) is powerfull. He can make to born, make to grow, make to win, make to loser, make to smille, make to cry, make to dead, make to resuscitate. After, He sit down (throne), with a glass of wine (liturgy? bacchant older rite?), and he watch.
    I saw in the stallonezone.com: “doomed”, “misunderstood artist”, “jokes, humiliations, embarrassment”. I saw here: “big mistakes”,”autobiography from the grave”, “morrass of moodiness” and (the audience have certainty) I saw “have some fun, MAYBE”
    Thanks for Lord (and show bussines) the artists have wine and millions money! (I eat pop-corn, I’m a Third World’s lady).
    I have to go.
    I’m so sorry my bad English again (I have phrased that badly so much)
    Thank you very much!
    Kisses and hugs for you!
    Good bye!

  27. I am going to go to Philly some day and visit Rocky’s “neighborhood” and just spend some time in that area and experience it for myself! I’ll run through the city streets, make my way over to the art museum and run up those forever mythical steps, and get my picture taken with the REAL ROCKY Statue! THAT would be the ULTIMATE VACATION for me:) ONLY FIVE MORE WEEKS!!!!! Can this get Anymore exciting? Peace – Aron Scott

  29. best way to see the Rocky Balboa trailer is to ask the theatre manager or the one who plays the movie, ask him before hand and he’ll let you know what movie it will be show in. I asked the manager which one will it be shown in and he said the 7pm showing…

  31. Hey all my fellow ROCKY fans! you guys should check out http://www.rockybalboa.com if you haven’t already!!! The new website is nothing short of INCREDIBLE, they have really done a SPECTACULAR job with it, the trivia game is especially fun!:) I LOVE YOU Sly!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH (I will NEVER stop thanking you for this film, it means more to me than you could possible imagine!!!)!!! FIVE MORE WEEKS!!!! GO FOR IT ROCK! “It ain’t over till it’s over!” PEACE – Aron Scott

  33. i saw a “Rocky Balboa” TV spot on ESPN during the Miami Heat v. San Antonio Spurs game. looks pretty good 🙂 it’s good to know that it’s getting now the exposure it deserves …. as far as the Rocky statues, they look good. i’ll definitely buy one for sure!

  34. saw the commercial!!!! awesome.. i guess it took til 1 month before .. hope they keep hyping it!!

  35. Hey everyone I saw a commercial last night for the movie it looked awesome…it had some new scences in it from the trailers…its looks awesome I cant wait….hey craig….is there going to be a premiere of the movie???if so are you going to post pictures???

  36. I toured the rockyresources.com website. It looks like Sly has a lot to say about life in this movie. Everyone has an opinion about life, one great thing about our country is that we can share these opinions, without fear.

    I am really looking forward to this movie.

  37. Craig I saw this short interview on stallone on the movies.go.com
    site incase you wanna see it.

    Just which demos Sylvester Stallone will be able to attract for next month’s Rocky Balboa, a k a Rocky 6, remains to be seen, but we have to admit … we kinda want to see it. The New York Times reports that the movie, starring the 60-year-old Stallone as the once-great Philadelphia boxer, wisely not only embraces the idea of a 60-year-old washed-up prizefighter duking it out with a young champion as being ridiculous, but the movie’s heart springs from perpetual comeback kid Rocky. “(The) story’s drive comes from its obvious attempt to grapple with irrelevance,” according to the Times — which quotes Stallone as saying he envisioned the movie as a chance to prove his generation still has plenty to contribute. “An artist dies twice, and the second death is the easiest one,” the Oscar winner says. “The artistic death, the fact you are no longer pertinent — or that you’re deemed someone whose message or talent has run its course — is a very, very tough piece of information to swallow.” Rocky Balboa hits theaters on Dec. 22, while Stallone is also in pre-production on another sequel, Rambo IV.

  38. Yea the commercial is cool. did anyone see the one where Rocky’s eyes are all wattery when he’s with adrian at her grave? theres 2 commercials Ive seen both on espn and classic sports, and just last night the second tv spot was on the “bravo” channel.

  39. First time i saw the commercial, i thought how ridiculous could it be to have Rocky fighting a kid.
    Didnt seem to make a whole lot of sense and kinda gimmicky. As i learned more about the movie and what societal points he’s hoping to make in the film, can’t wait to see it. I just hope i look that good when im 60, well im 30 and he’s much more ripped than i am. Good Luck Sly!

  40. Hey Rocky (Stallone)is it wrong to say “i love you” 🙂

    Im writing all the way from Denmark, im a big fan of the Rocky series, god damn i can`t wait to see the movie…

    Keep it up Rock u are the best, much better than Arnold remember that, ur jokes in the Rocky movies are hilarious man hahaha…

    Ur NO.1 fan Goran from denmark….

  41. i saw a rocky balboa commercial on TV today……during the football game (detroit vs. miami) and i told everyone to shut up so i could hear it….haha, I AM SO PUMPED

  42. u know, this movie came at a time for me when I needed that lil extra to kick my ass in gear and move on. I think we all got a lil left in the basement, and whether its now or its eventually, we have to get it out. it runs through my veins as I type. I want more than life has given. I am gonna go out and get what I am worth, and Rocky’s final round made me want to do that. It made me want, it gave me hope when there was none, thats why I need this and want this. I think we all need one more round. its never too late… make us proud rock

  43. HEY Y’ALL!! I am finally seeing new tv spots as well!!! FINALLY!! This movie is going to be HUGE! THIS IS COMPLETELY MASSIVE!!! AND I AM LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!! TV Spots and a new trailer!!! it is almost here! just a few more weeks now!!!!!! OH I AM SSSSOOOOO EXCITED!!!!! “WE LOVE YA ROCK!!!!” LUV YA SLY, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! IT’S A FIGHT!!! LETS START BUILDING, SOME HURTIN’ BOMBS!:) PEACE – ARON SCOTT

  44. I would also like to wish Craig and all of my fellow ROCKY fans an absoloutely WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!:) Be Safe and take care of your selves:)

    “It was Thanksgiving” – Adrian

    “It was what?” – Rocky

    “It was Thanksgiving” – Adrian

    “Yeah, to you, but to me it’s Thursday, right?” – Rocky

    I hope ALL of your holidays are special this year, I KNOW CHRISTMAS WILL BE:) Peace – Aron Scott

  45. I am so psyched your making a ROCKY VI, I have been waiting for this movie to be made for a while. I’ve grown up with watching Rocky and relating to battles he over came in the movie.

    Awesome,

    THEDMAN

  46. I saw the new trailer while seeing the movie “Deja Vu” with Denzel Washington. The trailer looked awesome on the big screen. The Denzel movie was very good, too.

  47. The statue of Rocky Balboa was a great homage for this fantastic personage created by Stallone who gave to a lesson of overcoming and creativity when interpreting Rocky Balboa! Edmundo, a super fan of Brazil!

  48. I saw the trailer of Balboa with the movie “BOBBY” let me just say this, “Bobby is nothing less then great!”
    Beautiful movie…

  50. The statue of Rocky was a great homage for this special personage created by Stallone, who is showing to claw and overcoming when making Rocky Balboa with 60 years of age. Edmundo, a super fan of Brazil!
