现年59岁的美国老牌动作影星西尔威斯特·史泰龙将拍摄其经典成名影片《洛奇》的第6集，他本人还将担任编剧和导演。据称，剧中用于刻画主角性格的戏份将多于传统的打斗场面。

    据美联社10月18日报道，史泰龙的公关代表米歇尔·贝加17日表示，《洛奇6》的开拍时间定于明年，地点位于费城和拉斯维加斯。史泰龙日前接受一家杂志采访时表示，在剧中他将出演一个年华渐老的鳏居拳手，为了挑战对手而不自觉地重新走上拳台。史泰龙说：“我把许多人面对生命最后一章时的感受，连同自己的想法一起写到了剧本里。”

    《洛奇6》协同制片方的负责人丹·泰勒表示，影片讲的是一个发现自我的故事；影片对于拳击本身的关注较少，更注重的是表现人物的性格。

    对于在《洛奇》前5集中出演男主角爱人艾黛丽安的塔莉·谢尔在这部影片中如何现身，拍摄《洛奇6》的有关人士表示，根据剧本由于艾黛丽安已经过世，本片可能采用蒙太奇的表现手法将过去影片里艾黛丽安的镜头进行回放。此外，布尔特·杨仍将饰演艾黛丽安另人讨厌的哥哥波利。

    史泰龙1976年拍摄了了《洛奇》第1集，该片获得了1977年奥斯卡最佳影片、最佳导演和最佳剪辑3项金像奖。史泰龙从此名声大噪，接连于1976年、1979年、1982年和1990年拍摄了4部续集。

    Rocky is planning another comeback. Fifteen years after starring in "Rocky V," Sylvester Stallone is reprising his role as the boxing champ in the sixth "Rocky" movie, publicist Michelle Bega said Monday.

    The 59-year-old actor will write and direct "Rocky Balboa," which will begin shooting in Philadelphia and Las Vegas next year.

    Stallone told the Daily Variety trade magazine the movie will focus on an aging, widowed Rocky who is reluctant to get back in the ring but ends up doing it "just to compete, not to win."

    "I am drawing on a lot of my feelings that are in sync with many people's feelings aboutfacing the last chapter of their lives and how they want it to be written," Stallone said.

    Dan Taylor, president of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which is co-producing the film, said the movie focuses less on boxing and more on character.

    "It's about self-examination, an opportunity to see what kind of person he is and act on it," Taylor said.

    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." 　

    But, Herriot said, Burt Young is expected to return as Adrian's brother, Paulie.

    Stallone wrote all the "Rocky" films and directed the second, third and fourth entries. The first movie, released in 1976, won three Oscars, including best picture and best director for John G. Avildsen.
