Frank Stallone Checks In

Craig / / 2006, Frank Stallone, Rocky Balboa

Frank Stallone and I exchanged a few e-mails this week. Here are some things Frank said that SZoners will want to hear::

* Wait till you see this film [“Rocky Balboa”] it’s awesome.

* “Rocky Balboa” opens a panning camera shot of the city while “Take You Back” is playing [about 54 seconds which is a lot of time for film].

* We are gearing up for the single release as we speak

* I also have two more songs in the movie: “You Wake Up The Heart In Me” and “Raw.”

* Thanks for the support! It’s so great that you still keep the site going!

– Frank‘s not only a talented guy, but he’s always been supportive of the SZ!

I think it’s so cool how “Take You Back” was in the original “Rocky” and now brings the final chapter full circle.

If all SZoners support the release of the “Take You Back” it’ll send a strong message about the strength of Rocky Balboa‘s fan base.

There was a “teaser” trailer for “Rocky Balboa” on the net which featured Frank’s song “Take You Back” as the camera was panning Philly. Does anybody have a link to it?  – Craig

Entertainment Weekly: They’re Back, Baby!

Craig / / 2006, Rambo, Rocky Balboa

The October 20, 2006 issue of Entertainment Weekly features and article titled, “They’re Back, Baby” by Tim Stack. Stack looks at six movie franchises that are set to return to the big screen: “Jurassic Park IV,” “Indiana Jones 4,” “Terminator 4,” “Live Free or Die Hard,” and “Rocky Balboa” / “Rambo IV.”

Here’s what’s said about Sly’s movies:

ROCKY BALBOA / RAMBO IV
Franchise Gross to Date: $488 million [Rocky] / $250 million [Rambo]

After failed attempts at establishing street cred [Cop Land, Get Carter], Stallone has fallen back on his two most iconic characters. Rocky Balboa [Dec. 22], the sixth entry, finds the now-widowed boxer returning to the ring despite being old enough to be his competitor’s grandfather. “I started writing it about three years ago,” Stallone told EW this summer. “The people at MGM at that time were not interested on any level.” Stallone’s persistence also paid off with the next Rambo adventure. That one is set to begin shooting in January in Thailand, a country which has seen its share of drama in recent months. Hanging out in a spot that just had a military coup? Rambo wouldn’t have it any other way.
