Rock Bottom
Everyone is getting on the "Rocky Balboa" bandwagon!
Entertainment Weekly's August 18, 2006 issue highlights "Rocky Balboa" in the "Things We're Pumped for in December" section and calls it the "unlikely, but still stirring idea of Stallone climbing back into the ring for 'Rocky Balboa.'" EW also runs a cropped version of today's photo with a look at the film.
Here are a couple of excerpts: Adrian's death "is a dramatic ploy to put Roc at rock bottom" and from Sly, "What they [Mason Dixon's camp] don't understand is that Rocky's got this beast inside, this grief, and to him it's not a fight, it's a purging."
- Craig Zablo
The final round of the Academy Award™-winning Rocky franchise hits theatres Friday, December 22, 2006.
Written and directed by SYLVESTER STALLONE.

looking this shot...rocky will train really hard this time.
I think I'll miss Adrian... It will probably be a great movie, though.
Dixon's camp is gonna be shocked at the Rock!! His purging is gonna be Dixon's demise!! GO ROCKY!!!

Rocky Rocky Rocky
very niiiiiiiice!
This movie has got me working out again. I'm forty seven, and I've decided to try to get in as good a shape as Sly at 60. Not a bad comment about me, or Sly!
You know where I will be on December 22!
There are millions of fans waiting for Rocky to return. The Rocky series has influenced of sports(wo)men around the world and continues to be a source of inspiration for sports community even today.
The Rocky movies would definately feature top in the list of movies that I would want my children and grandchildren to see.
Rock Rocky, Rock !!
I like the pic. Plus the comments from EW. My baby is due around the 22nd. I hope it come later so my wife and I can go see it. (YES, my wife is a HUGE fan of Rocky as well, I am so lucky).
I hereby wanne thank Craig Zablo for this great and awesome website. I think the pictures say a lot about the caracter of this new Rocky movie, which I think will be in the style of the first two movies..
This is such a great site/blog...AND it feels good to have a place to go to to share the Rocky Balboa excitement...I was pretty much the laughing stock this weekend when I shared the release date and trailer info with friends and family, whateva'...I love Rocky and am proud to admit it!!!! GO ROCKY GO!!!! I've never before been so anxious for winter to hit NY...already have a babysitter for 12/22/06 lined up!!! Keep up the GREAT work on this blog!!!
Really nice shot !
Peace,

no kornykyle quoting the trailer "No matter how it looks to other people Fighter fights"
WOW the promo has made me real exited .. i am going to stand out side the ticket window and will watch the movie
first day first show
Go rocky and if u r down remember that an angel is sitting on your shoulder saying "Get up, you son of a bitch, cause Mickey loves you."
Sly en su personaje de Rocky, es como un padre, un maetsro. ¡¡¡Te esparabamos Rocky!!! Gracias Sly.
Is there any truth to the rumor that the movie will premier in Philli in late November? Maybe a special promotional viewing, as opposed to the general release date of 12/22?
This movie is going to do WELL! Better than what most people think.
I think it'll break 100 million in the domestic box office.
This one's NOT just another Rocky Sequel. It seems to have many elements of a "stand-alone" film. Much like the orignal.
Go Rocky!
I can't believe the two Last Pics !
I can't wait !
please make a worldwide release in December !
i live in France and i will never be able to wait 2 month more !
Thanks Sly !
SlySysteM
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!
What i'm suppose to say here?
I have no words...
Sly,all France is with you!!!
Sly,Sly,Sly,Sly,Sly!!
I LOVE Rocky!
I loved Rocky I-II- and V. I thought Rocky III and IV were not even close to the caliber of the other three. The fight choreographer in Rocky I-II-and V was the same all the time Jimmy Gambina. In III and IV it was someone else. Stallone chose to try it again without Gambina, and he will probably stink again.
terry go to hell,rocky rules 1,11,111,1v,v,and soon rockyv1,so you say it will stink well check yourself its probly you that hasnt takin a shower,and you know what?you suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
up yours terry,gambina rules as a choreographer,you stupid ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Hey Anonymous, figure it out! Stalone DID NOT use Gambina for Rocky III and IV, and REFUSED to use him in Rocky VI. There is NO choreographer even close to Jimmy Gambina.
ahhhh,shut up!!!!!you still suck,terry,(big time?)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hahahhahahahahahahhahhahahhahhahahhahhahhahahh.
anonymous and terry both of yous are stupid and should shut the hell up,all stallones rockys rule,period!!!!so both of use keep your trap shut.youall got a problem with it just let me know,k.
Don't get mad at me beacuse your a retard who has his head so far up his ass that he can't tell the difference between a great movie and a pile of shit.
STFU and train.
It is real simple, If you don't like it, then do not go see it, but before you go and judge SLy or his decision to make another Rocky movie, compare how much money you have made with how much Sly has made with his decisions. Thanks you. The man knows what he is doing, and if you are a critic, than start your own page or something, but get the hell off this one, because this is for people who appreciate what he is doing!! Go for it Roc!!
SLY IS GREAT AND ONE OF THE BEST ACTORS IN THE WORLD AND ANY OF YOU THAT DISAGREE DONT NO WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. THE MAN KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING AND GOOD FOR HIM
GREAT BRITAN IS WITH YOU SLY AND ALWAYS WILL BE.
LOVE YOU
I also beleive that in the action genre Stallone is one of the best... I thinks its great that this movie is being made and I think it will be wonderful to bring back this landmark franchise, and also some of that magic thats sorly been missing from Hollywood latley.

i agree with all of yous im italian myself it just ticks the hell out of me about that person,terry,if yous dont like some of the things about rocky than get off this site you know?and start your own like anonymous said.
rocky rules totally and im glad he came back to do rocky 6,cant wait to see it in december.sly all philidelphias with yous,keep it up.
ROCKY IS THE BEST!!!!! I HOPE STALLONE REALLY MAKeS MONEY FOR THIS!!! SUPPORT HIM PEOPLE!!! Do you think he will die?......THEN I HOPE HE DIES WITH HONOR AND REALLY BEATS THE CRAP OUT OF THAT YOUNGSTER!!
Rocky is the champ and will always be the champ no matter what
MAN NOW IM PISSED IF ROCKY IS GOING TO LOSE BECAUSE OF POINTS AGAINST DIXON...THEN I AND MANY OF MY FRIENDS WILL BUY THE BOOTLEG DVD'S. WHAT A WASTE OF FILM AND SCREW UP TO THE FRANCHISE AS IF THE LAST ONE DIDNT DO ENOUGH DAMAGE!! P.S. only if he loses this ridiculous charity fight. DONT SINK LOWER THEN WHAT YOU ARE SLY.
MICKY LOVES YA ROC AND GO AND SHOW EM WHOS BOSS GO AND GET EM
Personally the Rocky films have changed my perspective on life....i look up on to rocky when i have no ther and i have always exceeded. Thank You Rocky
Adrian dies? that is shit
c'mon people i wanna see another rocky 4...not another piece of shit rocky 5 or worst.
I loved Rocky V...I guess it's a matter of what hits you. I thought it was real and endearing.
I love the rocky movies and have seen them all many many times but you can't make a rocky film without adrian period. If this movie has a chance it's because of peoples expectations of another great rocky story but without adrian it's not going to be the same.
all i know that if Rock loses I think I speak for everyone when i say then this movie will suck....dont even bother mentioneing "but oh what if there is a great fight". NO!!!!!!!! Not happening!!
I just read that the Rocky statue has been reinstated to the library steps...for good. Only two people voted against it. My heavens...what other movie ever made this kind of impact thirty years after? I'm proud of you, Sly!
i think it will work well with adrian as all he will feel he has nothing to lose and therefore will go for the last fight, "there is still something in the basement" and the "lets start building some hurting bombs" line has got me so excited about the film. i think it will be rocky back to its best.
NOS HACIA FALTA UNA PELICULA COMO ESTA, LA ESPERA LLEGA A SU FIN, UNA PELICULA QUE NOS IDENTIFICA CON ALGUN MOMENTO DE NUESTRAS VIDA.
UNA PELICULA QUE NOS VA HACER SALTAR DE LAS BUTACAS. GRACIAS SLY POR NUESTRA ULTIMA
ALEGRIA.

what is wrong with you people??!!! What age do you think Rocky is...what??..you are expecting a rocky 2,3,4...???!!!! A fucking titty sagging, ball dropping, abs flabbing, white pubic haired chump...or should i say bum dance like "just like in the other movies" a freaking monkey punching bag!!!! Wake up!!! I swear you might as well make another sequel for Rambo!! Jesus, you guys are so fucking patheic.
I thought 1 through 4 were great. 5 was ruined caused they didn't fight in the ring. Hopefully 6 will not tarnish the series.
What inspiration
Should be great!!
This is going to be grate
