Stallone says he will go back to Rocky's roots... "Rocky movies, when they do work, are not really about boxing. They are about the story itself and how you can apply it to your everyday life. It's not about being a champion. You might want to be the best accountant and get your shot at doing that."
"In the film, Rocky’s now a restaurant owner, one that's still grieving over the death of his wife, Adrian. Rocko decides to fight his loneliness by returning to the ring to fight a few low-scale, local, fights. When he accepts a challenge to take on reigning heavyweight champ Mason "The Line" Dixon, his comeback suddenly attracts the interest of the mass media."
"The script for the film - which is based on George Foreman's comeback bout - is 'Beautiful'"
