Sylvester Stallone will don the boxing gloves once again in a sixth Rocky film.

The 59-year-old actor has confirmed plans to direct and act in the movie, which will begin production in December.

“There is a script but it has yet to get the green light,” said a spokesperson for Stallone’s agent.

Early reports have Rocky Balboa as a restaurant owner, grieving over the death of his wife. Balboa decides to return to the ring to fight off his loneliness. When a reigning heavyweight champion, Mason Dixon, hears of Balboa’s return, he offers him a big pay off if he’ll return to the ring for the fight of all fights.

Revolution Studios, who will co-produce and finance the film, released a statement saying the sixth Rocky movie will bring fans back to the days of the original.

“As a past champion, Rocky Balboa is once again a regular guy who has to find himself and deal with real life. This film brings Rocky’s story full circle,” said Studio founder Joe Roth.

Stallone will be 60 by the time the film is released.
