This movie’s a million-to-one shot

Yesterday’s Inquirer had a big front page story from Michael Klein about the new Rocky Balboa movie and how the series could possibly end. (Sylvester Stallone claims he’s not going to make a seventh film, but, hey, who knows.)

There are some good stories, but the best one is this: Sly was looking for a hard-edged girl for a bar scene, but couldn’t find one until he met Angela Boyd, 20, who he used for the scene and then hired her as a production assistant.

There’s also some discussion of the plot, which, in the interest of not spoiling it, I’ve discussed after the jump. As they say on these type of Internet stories, this contains SPOILERS. Click through for more.

Here’s what the Inquirer has:

• Adrian is dead.
• Rocky’s son, Robert, is a yuppie in Center City.
• Rocky returns to the ring after ESPN simulates a fight between Rocky and current champion Mason “The Line” Dixon. Rocky wins in the simulation, apparently, and Dixon challenges Rocky to a fight.
• Sly’s going to shoot three ending and then decide which one to use.

This movie just gets more and more awesome every day.
