The ROCKY spin-off CREED - in which Stallone reprises his iconic Rocky Balboa role - recently shot crowd sequences in UK, turning the cameras on attendees of a football (‘soccer’) match there. Spectator reactions were caught with this awesome looking camera tower.
CREED finds Rocky training Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan), grandson of Carl Weather’s ‘Apollo Creed’ from the original cycle of films, in a picture co-scripted by Ryan Coogler (writer/director of FRUITVALE STATION), who also helms here.
Sly recently Tweeted what appears to be this film’s final scene - which has the potential to be tremendously emotional and punch a considerable impact if realized correctly.
More regarding the UK shoot can be found HERE at BBC (thanks to AICN reader Rich for the heads up).
Look for CREED in theaters in 2016.
