The Italian Stallion is making a comeback that would make George Foreman proud. Sylvester Stallone announced that Columbia Pictures, Revolution Studios and MGM have officially given him the green light on Rocky Balboa, the sixth movie in the Rocky franchise.

The story follows a retired, aging and widowed (Yo, Adrian?) Balboa who reluctantly agrees to take a fight with the reigning heavyweight champion Mason "The Line" Dixon.

Rocky Balboa begins filming in Los Angeles and Philadelphia in December. For you Rambo fans, there's reason for joy as well. Rambo IV is set to start filming next year.
