More Rocky 6 details

I know you're all dying to know some more details about ROCKY 6, the latest in the franchise that will start filming in December. Courtesy of a recent casting call for the film, we have some details. Now that Adrian has moved on to that big boxing ring in the sky, the Rockster has a new gal in his life, Marie. And how's this for a twist: she's got a son! Didn't see that one coming... His name is Steps (don't ask cause I don't even know...) described as a "sullen" teen whose life finds new meaning when Rocky takes an interest in him. Think the cliches end there? Oh no... How about the old, grizzled trainer who stresses there's more to fighting than just throwing punches? Check. The posse made up of "African-American homeboys" (their words, not mine)? Check. The young guy being groomed to take over for an ailing senior, in this case Paulie? Check. The group of locals who root for the hero in his quest for glory? Check. In other news, Rocky's son is now working for a high-tech company and dating the CEO's daughter. Paulie, working at a meat-packing plant, is living with Rocky but eventually moves out to live with his girlfriend. There also seem to be a bunch of people who like messing with Rocky like High Woman and her "goonish" friend Leader who taunt Rocky and Marie at a bar (it is implied Rocky kicks their asses). And local sportsmen seem to be taking a liking to bashing Rocky as well. And finally, my favorite character is Dr. Paco who has telling words about Rocky's comeback saying that it's a "tragedy in the making." Truer words couldn't be spoken.
