ROCKY 6'

Well, good ol Glen got one of them there informants named Adam Ace that went on to talk about a ROCKY VI. Now, I just want to say right now that this is from a solid source, but it is about a project that is in the very advance stages right now. Apparently there is a script penned by Sylvester Stallone, and the story is alleged to deal with Balboa coming out of retirement (just like ol George Foreman) to have one last go at it. This would be the absolute final film with no room for sequels if it is made. This would still be about 2 years from now, and the rumor circle has it that Richard Donner and (I don't believe this for a second right now, but I'll check into it) Quentin Tarantino have expressed interest (and I'm a monkey's uncle, God I hope my sister stays out of the jungle) in the project.

Now given that Stallone has professed to wanting to get out of his ACTION guy image, and wanting to take harder roles that allowed him to actually perform and act... You kinda have to wonder what he's written. Will it be a film with the type of nuance and character work that made the original one of the great films... or will it be a circus like ROCKY IV? What do you people think?
