I'm a little bored at the moment, so I thought I'd post this interview with Burt Young. It took place at the beginning od December last year...
What's a "Rocky" movie without Uncle Paulie hey?
Burt Young, whilst talking up the new "Rocky" DVD set, says there's still movement on the sixth film in the series, and if all goes well, he'll be back to annoy the Balboa clan.
"There's a snag with some of the studio people," he tells Canada.com. "Sylvester was very anxious. He spent half a year writing different editions of the story. We'll see."
Young says the script for the film - which is based on George Foreman's comeback bout - is "beautiful".
Young says he's also going to pop up on Sly's new series "The Contender". But first, they had to settle a bit of a tiff they'd been having.
Young says he had disagreed with elements of "Rocky 5" in which Paulie naively mishandled Rocky's money and threatened to kill himself. He was hurt that Sly, unlike in the past, had ignored his suggestions for improvements.
"So, for a short while we didn't talk," he explains. "But now he has this reality fight show (Mark Burnett's The Contender), so they asked me if I would show up, you know? And I was pleased to hug him and forget the time lost."
Apparently Dreamworks are interested in Rocky 6 after the success of TV show, The Contender (which Stallone hosts)
Well, it seems like dipping back into the well might be the new "fad". In an interview with Empire, Bruce Willis mentioned that production for Die Hard 4.0 should begin towards the end of the year.
