Stallone to make another Rocky movie,”Rocky 7″?
At 63 years of age nothing seems to be holding Sylvester Stallone back from making more action films. Finishing up on his latest film The Expendables which stars a who’s who of action stars from Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, UFC fighter Randy Couture and cameos by Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger to name a few, and getting the green light for Rambo V: The Savage Hunt, Stallone now wants to add another sequel to the Rocky franchise.
The last installment titled Rocky Balboa seemed to be the perfect ending to a storied film franchise, but Stallone hasn’t closed the book on the Rocky story just yet.
According to Tele 5 Germany, Sly said:
“I know I’ll probably make a fool of myself if I make another ‘Rocky’ film after turning 60.
“I also know there’s gonna be a lot of criticism. Even my wife says, ‘Don’t do it. You’re embarrassing the kids’. But I told her, ‘If I don’t try I’ll be a really unhappy man.’
“You have to do it. Artists like me have to go through the dark over and over again.”
Stallone said he wants Rocky 7 to be “about becoming older, not about boxing but about myself.”
