I just wish Stallone wasn't involved at all- I mean wasnt that the point of Balboa, to kind of give the franchise an apologetic mulligan in place of part V ? To continue on Stallone may as well make it Rocky VII, a Creed spinoff only sounds exactly cynical as what it is, a chance at soely urban black/hispanic market.

Why connect it to the Rocky series and have that tie it down? Couldn't they just make it an original boxing story with no ties to a franchise?

Well… it's official. Coogler is the new Justin Lin.

Am I the only one who deeply disliked Fruitvale Station? Such a manipulatively told story and almost sorely lacking in social subtext. Plus the script was just awful. Michael B Jordan was goodin it actually but still…

WHY WHY WHY would Coogler and Jordan move to this type of film after Fruitvale!?
