Sylvester Stallone has confirmed filming for Rocky VI will start in December 2005. The script has already been completed by the Rocky star and Stallone told a trade magazine the movie will focus on a widowed and aging Rocky Balboa. It has been reported that Rocky is reluctant to get back in the ring but ends up doing it "just to compete, not to win." It wasn’t immediately clear whether Talia Shire, who appeared in five previous "Rocky" films as the boxer’s love interest, Adrian, will return in the sixth installment, said Stuart Herriot, a spokesman with Revolution Studios, which is co-producing the film. "In the script, she did pass away, but it’s unsure whether she might appear in a flashback or in older footage," Herriot said. "It’s too early in the production to tell." Burt Young is expected to return as Adrian’s brother, Paulie. Former THE A TEAM star MR T is set to reprise his role of CLUBBER LANG in the upcoming ROCKY VI film. The 1980s icon played ROCKY BALBOA’s tough, non-nonsense opponent in ROCKY III and he’ll reteam with SYLVESTER STALLONE in the latest instalment of the boxing film franchise. According to movie gossip website www.moviehole.net, Mr T, real name LAWRENCE TUREAUD - won’t be the only former Rocky star returning for the new movie - RICHARD GANT and BURT YOUNG are also set to return for the sixth film. Stallone has been creating interest for the movie, which he has written, by posting storyboards in his new health magazine SLY.
