Carfull Rocky, you might break a hip.

Sylvester Stallone has signed on to reprise his role as the boxing champ for a sixth installment in the once mighty franchise ROCKY.
The film, simply titled Rocky Balboa, was announced Monday by Columbia Pictures, Revolution Studios and original distributor MGM, which will team up to produce what a press release describes as a return to the style and grit of the 1976 franchise-launching original.
The story will pick up with the fictional prize fighter retired and a widower (no Adrian!), who, after resisting offers to return to the ring, reluctantly agrees to take on reigning world heavyweight champion Mason "The Line" Dixon.

Producers are reportedly talking with former heavyweight champion Roy Jones Jr. to take on the part of Dixon.
Rocky isn't the only muscle-bound hero Stallone is taking out of mothballs. He's also breaking out the bandana for a fourth turn as Rambo. Stallone will also write that screenplay.

Great, I can just see it now. "Hey Rambo, which Military Ready to eat meal do you want, the Chicken or the Steamed Prunes and Metamucil?"
