  • Rocky Balboa's Missing Adrian, Paramount's Logo and More Questions | Ask FlickChick | 1/12/2007
    Question: I just saw Rocky Balboa and liked it, but do you have any idea why Adrian was written out of the cast of characters? Did Talia Shire not want to do it? — DanielFlickChick: In interviews, Sylvester Stallone has said that in the first drafts of the Rocky Balboa screenplay, Adrian was still alive but died later in the story. But at some point he decided that it was more dramatic to start out with Rocky sleepwalking through life because he's so devastated by having lost the love of his life. The only quote attributed to Talia Shire I've run across has a rather evasive ring to it; she never addresses whether or not anyone ever spoke to her about the possibility of being in the film, and she certainly doesn't say she turned the part down. But there are pictures online of Shire attending the Los Angeles premiere, which suggests to me that if she had been angry or disappointed, she's over it now. Question: About two years ago, I read on TVGuide.com that Ellen DeGeneres... read more
  • Thirty Years Later, Rocky Balboa Still Packs a Punch | TV Matt'rs | 12/12/2006
    Can we all just close our eyes and pretend that Rocky V never happened? Because if ever there were a franchise-finisher to be remembered for staging the Italian Stallion's final bout, Rocky Balboa, due out Dec. 20, portends to be it. Having grown up with this film series, I cheered and I cried at a press screening last week, as the famed palooka-turned-pugilist entered the ring just one more, most memorable time.The Oscar-winning Rocky and its first follow-up were seminal films, even coining the term "a Rocky story" to sum up the tale of an underdog (in this case, a loan shark's sad-sack collection man) who overcomes the odds to achieve greatness — a bid for both true love and the title. Rocky III, with the arrival of Mr. T's Clubber Lang, found Rocko facing his fiercest opponent yet — as Burgess Meredith's Mickey reveals (in his raspy growl) that previous comers "wuz hand-picked!" — and then dealing with the loss of the trainer he for so long held dear. Rocky IV, an... read more
