    Moviefone presents the 30 greatest Best Picture Oscar winners of all time.

    The 98th Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, March 15th and by its conclusion a new film will be added to the exclusive list of Best Picture winners.

    Over the previous 97 years, many classic movies have received this honor from ‘In the Heat of the Night‘ to ‘Titanic.’ But for every ‘Schindler’s List‘ or ‘Moonlight‘ there is a film like ‘Driving Miss Daisy‘ or ‘American Beauty‘ that has not aged well.

    6600

    And let’s not forget the all-time classic movies that were completely snubbed such as ‘Pulp Fiction‘ or ‘The Shawshank Redemption,’ and did not receive the Academy recognition they deserved.

    In honor or the upcoming Oscar ceremony, we’ve decided to countdown the 30 greatest Best Picture winners of all-time.

    Let’s begin!

    • Matt Dillon and Stephan James are boarding new drama ‘I Play Rocky’.
    • Anthony Ippolito is playing Sylvester Stallone in the movie.
    • Peter Farrelly is in the director’s chair.

    A little over a month since we learned that director Peter Farrelly had picked Anthony Ippolito to play Sylvester Stallone in the tumultuous making-of story of one of the classic sports movies –– that would be ‘Rocky’ –– we now know two of the names joining him in ‘I Play Rocky.’

    2qrhYBLLg4gCgd0B05gCP2

    Deadline reports that Matt Dillon (‘Crash’) and Stephan James (‘Race’) have signed on to the film, playing Frank Stallone Sr. (Sly’s dad) and Carl Weathers (who played Apollo Creed in ‘Rocky’ and beyond) respectively.

    They join AnnaSophia Robb (‘Rebel Ridge’), who has the role of Sasha Czack, Stallone’s girlfriend at the time, and future wife.

    Peter Gamble (‘Office Uprising’) wrote the script for this one, which follows a struggling actor with a partially paralyzed face and a speech impediment writes a script that a big movie studio wants to buy, but he refuses to sell it unless he gets to play the lead.

    Turning down an offer of life-changing money, he instead works for pennies to get the movie made with himself in the starring role.

    The movie became the biggest box office hit of 1976, notching 10 Oscar nominations and winning Best Picture.

    A cultural touchstone that established Stallone as a Hollywood legend, the ‘Rocky’ franchise, distributed by United Artists and later MGM, remains one of the most iconic and financially successful sports film franchises of all time, with $1.7 billion in grosses between the original films and their ‘Creed’ spin-offs.

    Where else can we see Matt Dillon and Stephan James?

    Dillon, who earned an Oscar nomination for his role in ‘Crash’, was seen in Wes Anderson’s ‘Asteroid City’ and the Apple TV series ‘High Desert’. His most recent gig was this year’s ‘The Fence.’

    James appeared in ‘If Beale Street Could Talk’. Next he’ll be seen starring opposite Alan Ritchson in Netflix’s sci-fi actioner ‘War Machine.’

    When will ‘I Play Rocky’ punch its way to screens?

    While Amazon MGM Studios has this one aiming for a theatrical release, the company has yet to specify a date.

    • Anthony Ippolito has landed the starring role as Sylvester Stallone in ‘ I Play Rocky’.
    • Peter Farrelly is directing.
    • It’ll chronicle the making of ‘Rocky’.

    It’s been more than a year since we reported on Peter Farrelly agreeing to direct based-on-truth, behind-the-scenes movie ‘I Play Rocky’, which chronicles Sylvester Stallone’s efforts to land the lead in the boxing classic he set up.

    Now we know, via The Hollywood Reporter, that Anthony Ippolito has landed the role of Stallone.

    2qrhYBLLg4gCgd0B05gCP2/

    This marks the second time Ippolito will play an iconic Italian-American actor, as his most notable previous credit was as Al Pacino in Paramount+ series ‘The Offer’, itself a look at the difficult production of ‘The Godfather’.

    The new movie, set up at Amazon MGM Studios and written by Peter Gamble, chronicles the true Hollywood story about an unknown actor with an unshakable belief that he wasn’t just meant to write Rocky — he was meant to be Rocky Balboa.

    Told “no” at every turn, Stallone bets everything on himself, holding the line on playing the lead against seemingly impossible odds. The result is the ultimate underdog story behind the ultimate underdog movie.

    Ippolito had a similar approach to his own role –– when he learned the movie was being made, he created and sent in his own audition tape directly to the producers, landing the role in the process.

    Toby Emmerich, the former Warner Bros. Motion Picture chief, is one of the main producers and had this to say:

    “I’ve been a fan of Peter Farrelly as both a filmmaker and a person since getting to work with him on the music for ‘Dumb and Dumber’. But it was ‘Green Book’ that made me think of Pete for this inspiring screenplay. Christian Baha and I feel blessed to have Pete at the helm for this movie. And like the unknown Stallone starring in Rocky, Pete will be conducting a worldwide search to discover another actor who just needs one shot — in ‘I Play Rocky’ — to show the world what he can do.”

    Well, now they have that actor!

    When will ‘I Play Rocky’ be on screens?

    While Amazon MGM Studios has yet to confirm a release date, we do know this one is currently being set as a theatrical movie.

    • Michael B. Jordan is developing a ‘Creed’ TV spin-off.
    • ‘Delphi’ would be set in the movies’ boxing gym.
    • Marco Ramirez is aboard to run the show.

    With the success of the ‘Creed’ movies so far –– as kicked off back in 2015 with Ryan Coogler co-writing and directing the original –– it was only a matter of time before we got to see it expand beyond the big screen.

    20063625

    Leading man (and executive producer) Michael B. Jordan made no secret of the fact that he wanted the ‘Creed’ universe to keep on developing –– around the release of ‘Creed III,’ which Jordan stepped up to also direct, he made mention of ruminating future plans.

    Those have become reality with Jordan announcing at the Amazon Upfronts that a new spin-off TV series called ‘Delphi’ is in the works for Prime Video. So we can expect plenty more pugilism in our small screen future.

    What’s the story of the ‘Creed’ movies?

    (L to R) Michael B. Jordan as Adonis Creed, Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa in ‘Creed II.’ Photo: MGM.

    The ‘Creed’ story begins with that original movie, itself a spin-off from the iconic ‘Rocky’ franchise, and introducing us to Adonis “Donnie” Creed (Jordan), the illegitimate son of the late fighter Apollo Creed (played in the original films by Carl Weathers).

    Reconnecting with his legacy, Adonis starts training to box in more advanced matches, and ends up working with Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) himself.

    Donnie also forges a relationship with musician Bianca (Tessa Thompson), who has her own challenges, including a worsening hearing issue.

    Through the movies, Donnie faces various challenges (and challengers), including in ‘Creed II,’ the formidable son of Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren reprising his iconic role from ‘Rocky IV’) and, in ‘Creed III,’ old neighborhood friend Damian Anderson (Jonathan Majors), who went to prison years ago and has returned burning with a vengeful spirit.

    What’s the story of ‘Delphi’?

    The Delphi Boxing Academy is the Los Angeles-based boxing gym founded by Tony “Duke” Evers where Apollo Creed trained for many years.

    Now run by Evers’ son, Tony “Little Duke” Evers (played by Wood Harris in the movies), the Delphi gym is home to Adonis.

    Here’s what Jordan had to say about the show at the Amazon Upfront:

    “The series that takes us back to where it all began. What I love about this story is that it stays true to what the ‘Rocky’ and ‘Creed’ franchise is all about: hard work, determination, fighting for something bigger than yourself. It’s about family, the ones we’re born into and the ones that we created. We’re building something special here, and I’m excited to introduce you to new fighters that will walk into the Delphi. As always, in ‘Creed’ we say, one step, one round, one punch at a time.”

    Marco Ramirez will serve as showrunner and executive producer on the series. He’s no stranger to the world of boxing, as he recently created and served as showrunner on the Hulu boxing drama ‘La Máquina’ starring Gael Garcia Bernal, Diego Luna and Eiza González.

    Jordan will executive produce under his Outlier Society banner along with Liz Raposo. Winkler Films’ Irwin Winkler, David Winkler, and Charles Winkler also executive produce.

    Whether Jordan shows up as Adonis on screen remains to be seen, but we’d bet good money that he’ll at least grace the show in the pilot to kick things off.

    And notable by his absence? Stallone, who has increasingly moved away from the ‘Creed’ franchise and doesn’t seem to want to be as closely connected as he once was.

    What else is Michael B. Jordan working on?

    Jordan has been keeping himself typically busy.

    He’s currently in movie theaters leading Coogler’s ‘Sinners,’ which has been doing great business at the box office. The story of twin brothers (both played by Jordan) who look to start a juke joint in their old home town in 1930s Mississippi, only to discover a lurking threat from some fanged fiends.

    ‘Sinners’ has so far earned more than $280 million at the worldwide box office, and has been showing incredible staying power, especially for an original movie.

    The actor/filmmaker has several projects in development, including a ‘Rainbow Six’ film that will see him return as special forces operative John Clark.

    He’s also, to no-one’s surprise working up a fourth ‘Creed’ movie, which he’s expressed a desire to direct following his success with the third.

    Before that, though, he’s preparing to direct a new take on 1968 heist movie ‘The Thomas Crown Affair,’ which he’ll also lead and appear opposite Taylor Russell.

    Finally, he’s attached to star with Will Smith in the long-developing follow-up to ‘I Am Legend,’ which has Francis Lawrence aboard to direct.

    Jordan told Variety last year that he felt like he had plenty of work still to do:

    “I still feel like an underdog. I feel like I just got here, like I’ve just arrived, and I have the tools and the things around me to really be on the offensive a little bit.”

    When will ‘Delphi’ be on our screens?

    Prime Video has yet to announce a premiere date for the show. Since we have zero casting details or anything else on it yet, we’d be shocked if it arrived on the service much before 2026, and likely later in that year as it stands.

    He’s veering back to the grounded world for his next film, agreeing to direct ‘I Play Rocky’, which will chronicle Sylvester Stallone’s struggles in convincing someone to make his iconic boxing movie.

    The movie becomes the biggest box office hit of 1976, notching 10 Oscar nominations and winning Best Picture. The true story of the making of the iconic movie ‘Rocky’.

    ‘Office Uprising’ writer Peter Gamble is at work on the script, but there’s no indication yet as to whether Stallone himself will be involved.

    ‘I Play Rocky’: The Producers Speak

    Toby Emmerich the former Warner Bros. Motion Picture chief, is one of the main producers and had this to say:

    “I’ve been a fan of Peter Farrelly as both a filmmaker and a person since getting to work with him on the music for Dumb and Dumber. But it was ‘Green Book’ that made me think of Pete for this inspiring screenplay. Christian Baha and I feel blessed to have Pete at the helm for this movie. And like the unknown Stallone starring in ‘Rocky’, Pete will be conducting a worldwide search to discover another actor who just needs one shot — in ‘I Play Rocky’ — to show the world what he can do.”

    His fellow producer Christian Baha added this:

    “When I first read Peter Gamble’s energetic and poignant script, I knew it captured something very special. The story of ‘I Play Rocky’ is as unique as Sylvester Stallone himself, a seeming everyman with an undeniable gift who needs to share it with the world and refuses to take “no” for an answer. And like the hero of our film, Baha Productions needed grit and determination as we fought for years to make this project into a reality. We are so fortunate to have teamed up with Toby Emmerich and Peter Farrelly, two legendary talents who not only share but enhance our vision of the film.”

    When will ‘I Play Rocky’ be in theaters?

    There is no release date set for the movie at this time. The rights to distribute it are being sold at this year’s Cannes market.

    Preview:

    • Carl Weathers has died at the age of 76.
    • He’s famous for the ‘Rocky’ movies, ‘Predator’ and more.
    • Tributes have already started to come in for the actor.

    Sad news today as action and acting icon Carl Weathers has died at the age of 76.

    Weathers, who made his name in the action-orientated likes of ‘Predator’ and the sports drama of the ‘Rocky’ movies, then segued into more comedic roles (often playing himself) and more recently became a key recurring performer on ‘Star Wars’ TV series ‘The Mandalorian.’

    Carl Weathers: Early Life and Career

    Born on January 14, 1948, in New Orleans, Louisiana, Carl Weathers’ initial career was much more focused on sports, specifically football, relying on athletic prowess to overcome adversity.

    He played on teams at Long Beach City College, San Diego State (where he also studied theatre, a nod towards his future) and signed on with the Oakland Raiders in 1970, making a mark as a linebacker.

    But after various injuries through his time on the gridiron, he decided in 1974 to focus on performance, pursuing a drama degree at San Francisco State University.

    Weathers took a familiar route to screens, working on commercials and smaller roles in movies such as ‘The Candidate’ and ‘Magnum Force’.

    He got a big break thanks to 1976’s ‘Rocky’, where his critiquing Sylvester Stallone’s acting during his audition won him the role of the cocky, ambitious Apollo Creed, a role he’d play three further times.

    Outside of ‘Rocky’, he’s also known for playing Dillon in ‘Predator’ and a variety of other movies including ‘Action Jackson’, ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’, and ‘Force 10 from Navarone.’

    Some actors might be content with just that successful run, but Weathers took the chance to re-invent himself, often playing versions of himself and appearing in the likes of ‘Happy Gilmore’, ‘Little Nicky’ and as a voice in ‘Eight Crazy Nights’, all alongside Adam Sandler.

    He enjoyed several episodes on ‘Arrested Development’ playing a spoof version of himself, who had become an acting tutor.

    In addition to a long resume of TV guest credits, he added a whole new generation of fans via his work as Greef Karga, the mercenary wrangler-turned-official for ‘Star Wars’ TV series ‘The Mandalorian.

    Weathers also stepped behind the camera as a director, shooting episodes of ‘The Mandalorian’ as well as ‘Law & Order’, ‘Chicago Med’, ‘FBI’ and more. He served on the Directors Guild of America board and various committees, helping others navigate the job.

  • ‘Wanted Man’ Exclusive Interview: Dolph Lundgren

    zhuRiGkn

    Opening in theaters, On Demand and digital beginning January 19th is the new action thriller ‘Wanted Man,’ which was directed, co-written, produced by and stars Dolph Lundgren (‘Rocky IV,’ ‘Creed II,’ ‘Expend4bles’).

    Moviefone recently had the pleasure of speaking with Dolph Lundgren about his work on ‘Wanted Man,’ developing the screenplay, the themes he wanted to explore, his character’s arc, working with Christina Villa, casting old friends Kelsey Grammer and Michael Paré, why he likes directing, collaborating with his crew, and how his years of experience helped him shoot the action sequences.

    Lundgren also discussed the long rumored ‘Rocky’ and ‘Creed’ spinoff movie, ‘Drago,’ if it’s still in development, and why it’s important to have Sylvester Stallone involved with the project.

    You can read the full interview below or click on the video player above to watch our interview.

    Moviefone: To begin with, can you talk about developing the screenplay and as a director, what were the themes that you were excited to explore with this movie?

    Dolph Lundgren: I started developing the idea of this was about 15 years ago and other things came up. It was kind of loosely based on this (Clint) Eastwood movie called ‘The Gauntlet,’ where he goes and has an interstate transfer of a prisoner. I changed that to Mexico and then a couple of years back, the original writer and I started talking about making it about immigration because it’s a hot topic. Then I decided maybe I should make this character somebody who is a bit bitter and angry at the world and got something to learn. So, by ending up in Mexico, he ends up going through this physical journey and trial, but also an emotional challenge to his beliefs system. So those are the themes I wanted to touch upon.

    MF: Can you talk about Travis’ personal views on society, how those ideas are challenged during the movie and how he ultimately changes as a character?

    DL: At the top of the film, this guy, obviously he’s an old timer. He’s in law enforcement. He’s bitter at the world. He’s got these friends who reinforce those ideas in him. I don’t think he’s really a bad guy. He’s in a bad spot in his life, especially at the beginning of the movie, where he has a run in with an illegal alien and his policing methods aren’t the greatest. He’s a bit old-fashioned and he ends up getting in trouble with the press and with the mayor’s office, and to save his career they send him down to bring these two prisoners back and they’re really witnesses in a murder investigation of two federal agents. So, when he gets to Mexico, things are way more complicated than he thought, and nothing goes as planned. Then, by meeting various people who help him, he ends up changing his mind about a lot of things. I would say he comes back a changed man.

    MF: What was it like for you as an actor to get to play an arc like that?

    DL: It was interesting. When I started working on the character, he kind of reminded me of my dad. My dad was an intelligent man, but he was set in his ways, and he had a lot of anger and frustration and he never really got to turn the corner. He got a little more enlightened when he got older as people do, but not really. So, I sort of played a little bit of my dad in the beginning and I thought it was fun. It was satisfying to get to play an arc. It’s always what you look for as an actor because it gives you something to do that is a little more challenging than just playing the moment. So, I enjoyed it.

    MF: Can you talk about the friendship Travis forms with Rosa and working on that relationship with Christina Villa?

    DL: So, one of the witnesses is this woman named Rosa who’s a Mexican prostitute. She had to do that to survive in the states and then she’s been a witness of these murders. My character first doesn’t like her. She doesn’t like me at all. We were not the greatest of friends, but slowly we get to know each other, and it was a challenging character to find somebody to play. I wanted somebody who was Hispanic and had some experience about that and she did, and I thought she was great. I had a lot of Hispanic actors (on the set) and they were always good to ask because they would come up and say, “Well, maybe we should change this to that because this is the way we say it or this is how we feel.” I would always say, “Yeah, fine. You guys know,” and she did that. She came with some good suggestions.

    MF: Can you talk about casting veteran actors Kelsey Grammer and Michael Paré?

    DL: I enjoyed working with them. I know Kelsey from ‘The Expendables 3’ and then socially I’ve spent some time with him, and we always try to do something together. I thought it would be an interesting choice because he’s not what you expect. Michael Paré, I worked with him about 15 years ago, and he was always such a great guy. He’s such a good worker and stand-up guy, and I thought he’d be good. I enjoyed working with them.

    MF: Can you talk about your approach to directing this movie, and what do you like about directing?

    DL: What I do like is for these smaller movies that I feel like I have a lot of experience that I can bring to the table. Maybe more than a lot of directors that I could afford to hire. So, I feel like it’s easy to keep it all in-house. If I write, direct and even star or co-star, then I know nobody’s going to mess with the picture or do something that’s going to hurt it. I think my approach is to prepare quite well and speak to all the actors about a month ahead of time about their backstories, the characters and the relationships so that when we show up on set and I don’t have to say that much. It just comes alive in the moment. Then I try to be very quick as a director. I don’t like doing too many takes and trying to get seven different variations. If something works, in my experience, it works. Usually, you’re not going to get anything that’s more than 10% better, even if you keep shooting another twenty takes. So, I try to keep it moving forward very quickly, and I try to get the first shot off very quickly in the morning. I learned that from an old-timer, and he was funny. He would just go up to the DP and say, “Okay, you see that plane landing, shoot that.” So, everybody in the crew hears “Rolling,” like after 20 minutes. So, they’re like, “Oh, we’re working already. I don’t do that all the time, but he always said, “You got to get the first shot off within an hour, otherwise everything grinds to a halt.” So now that’s kind of my approach to it.

    MF: Can you talk about working with your crew both during production and post-production?

    DL: I had a problem on this picture because we had some issues in New Mexico with the crew. It was right after Covid and Netflix was in Albuquerque hiring a bunch of people, so we had difficulties putting it together. I had problems with the financing towards the end, so I didn’t have sufficient time to storyboard as much as I wanted. I did that on my last picture. Next time I’m going to storyboard. I like storyboarding a lot. I think it’s helpful and it gives you a chance to think about it visually before you’re on set and you’re going crazy because you must get the shot off and there’s a lot of other things happening. I enjoy working with the DP. I enjoy storyboarding and post-production is very important, obviously, the editing and the post-production, especially when you’re on a short schedule. So, you must cut corners when you’re shooting, and you may have to make up for it in editing or in the way you work with picture quality or sound later. So, all of those are fun. I enjoy all of it really.

    MF: Did your decades of experience making action movies come in handy when you were creating and shooting the action sequences for ’Wanted Man’?

    DL: It does come in handy, and I’ve done a lot of action with various directors and different stunt coordinators. I have my way to shoot it so I can try to get as many cuts as possible in the shortest amount of time possible since when you edit, you just need more angles to build an action scene, usually you need a lot of angles. It’s a function of the number of cuts, how good it’s going to be usually. So, I think my experience comes in handy. Also speaking to the actors and talking to the stunt guys. I mean, I have a lot of respect for stunt people and always listen to them and safety is first. But I think there is a way not to waste time doing action, which I’ve been in movies where they waste a lot of time shooting stuff that I know we were not going to use.

    MF: Finally, can you give an update on the long rumored ‘Drago’ movie? Is that project still happening and are you still involved in it?

    DL: I was involved in it. It was in the works for a while. I think what happened was there was some corporates changes. MGM got a new president and new ownership, and things were sidelined for a while. Then ‘Creed III’ came out and did very well. So, ‘Creed IV,’ they started planning that. They’re trying to figure out where to put Drago in the franchise. Where does he fit in? Probably between ‘III’ and ‘IV.’ So, it’s still on the works. I think it would be a great project and it would be something fun to work with (Sylvester) Stallone on because he created those characters and he’s very smart about it. So hopefully it’ll get made at some point before I’m too old.

    • No other details have been revealed yet.

    With the ‘Creed’ franchise having spawned a successful third entry this year (‘Creed III’ earned $275 million worldwide), the producing team naturally have their eye on another movie.

    According to producer Irvin Winkler, who attended Deadline’s Contenders Film: Los Angeles event this weekend, ‘Creed IV’ is in development already –– and the director is someone very closely associated with the movies.

    Michael B. Jordan, who has played Adonis Creed since 2015’s ‘Creed’, stepped behind the camera to direct ‘Creed III’, which hit theaters this past March and co-starred a returning Tessa Thompson alongside Jonathan Majors as an old friend of the title character who seeks retribution for past wrongs.

    Winkler didn’t mince words when suggesting that Jordan would be back making the new movie.

    Here’s what the producer said:

    “He will be. He did such a great job — he was comfortable with the camera.”

    Neither production studio Amazon/MGM has said anything official about Jordan’s return, but it’s safe to assume the job is his if he wants it.

    What’s the story of ‘Creed IV’?

    As of right now, no one is saying anything about what the story of the new ‘Creed’ might entail. And, Winkler acknowledged, the writers and actors’ strikes put a halt to forward movement.

    Here’s what Winkler said about the movie:

    “We are planning to do ‘Creed IV’ right now. We have a really good story and a really good plot. We got a little delayed because of the strikes, but about a year from now we’re going into pre-production.”

    Given that ‘Rocky IV’ introduced Ivan Drago (and the ‘Creed’ films have already revisited that character), there’s every chance the new movie will see Adonis handle his own big new boxing threat –– and deal once again with his aging physique.

    According to Winkler, the team worked hard to make sure the third ‘Creed’ fit into the franchise.

    “Michael and the creative team had the beautiful vision from the start to create a wholly new and different experience for this movie. It had to be firmly cemented in what we all [know] the ‘Creed’ and ‘Rocky’ movies for… it had to have great action, boxing, but we also really examined what kind of movie we were making. And a lot of that, those early days with Michael were spent crafting how we were looking at the Damian [Majors] character, which is why I think everyone responded to the depth, not only on the page, but also on the screen. You spend half the movie having deep sympathy for him and understanding his vulnerability.”

    When is ‘Creed IV’ due in theaters?

    ‘Creed IV’ has yet to announce a release date. But if it truly enters pre-production a year from now, it could be out in mid-2025.

  • Where To Watch The Boxing Action-Drama ‘Creed III’

    Michael B. Jordan’s Adonis Creed faces off against Jonathan Majors’ Damian Anderson in ‘Creed III’. This movie also serves as Michael B. Jordan’s directorial debut who has been starring in the sports franchise since 2015.

    Following the events of 2018’s ‘Creed II’, Adonis “Donnie” Creed is considering retirement as the undisputed Heavy Weight Champion of the World when his childhood friend and former boxing prodigy Damian “Dame” Anderson comes back into his life, throwing everything into disarray. The film puts the two former friends at odds and Donnie will have to fight in the most emotional match yet.

    Av2GMl48FGtVoKdsPpb9F4

    ‘Creed III’ stars Michael B. Jordan (‘Black Panther’) as Adonis “Donnie” Creed, Jonathan Majors (‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’) as Damian “Dame” Anderson, Tessa Thompson (‘Thor: Love And Thunder’) as Bianca Taylor, Wood Harris (‘Blade Runner 2049’), and Phylicia Rashad (‘tick, tick… BOOM!’).

    The official synopsis for ‘Creed III’ is below:

    “After dominating the boxing world, Adonis Creed has been thriving in both his career and family life. When a childhood friend and former boxing prodigy, Damien Anderson, resurfaces after serving a long sentence in prison, he is eager to prove that he deserves his shot in the ring. The face-off between former friends is more than just a fight. To settle the score, Adonis must put his future on the line to battle Damien – a fighter who has nothing to lose.”

    ‘Creed III’ opened to $58.3 million domestially, $22 million more than ‘Creed II’. It is certified Tomatoe-meter fresh with a 89% score from critics and 96% from audience. The third installment has grossed $272 million worldwide since it’s release.

    Michael B. Jordan As A First-Time Director

    Helming a popular franchise such as ‘Creed’ is no easy task, yet Michael B. Jordan took on the challenge of being both the lead of the film and stepping behind the camera to direct. The star’s impressive resume and dedication shows as the film balances its action, heart, and humor extremely well.

    Jordan kept the tone from the the previous ‘Creed’ films such as the action and redemption arc while adding his own flavor like utilizing slow-motion in the ring. This helped emphasis each punch and by using it sparingly, it didn’t make it feel like a gimmick. Jordan’s love of anime can also be seen in his directorial style. The actor has spoken about his love for animes such as ‘Naruto’, ‘Dragonball Z’, and ‘One Piece’, and using it as a visual reference for some of the fight scenes.

    Cinematographer Kramer Morgenthau light the actors in such a unique and abstract way for the final match, using colors like red and green to emphasis what they’re feeling as they made their walk toward the ring. Morgenthau worked with Crafty Apes, the VFX team, to map out the final moments and by using a motion-control camera, the fight was immersive and distinctive.

    With a stellar box office and reception, a “Creed-verse” may not be too far off. According to Deadline, Jordan has met with Amazon to explore other ‘Creed’ related projects. No details are confirmed but there are talks of spin-off projects such as an anime series, live-action TV series, and even a story centered on Donnie’s daughter Amara, played by deaf actress Mila Davis-Kent. A spin-off movie based on Rocky’s nemesis Ivan Drago and his son Viktor Drago has also been announced. The possibility is endless when it comes to the Creed/Rocky universe, which is quite exciting for fans of the franchise.

    Director Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors Talk Sequel ‘Creed III’

    One thing that was mising from ‘Creed III’ was Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky Balboa. Although Rocky has constantly been in Donnie’s corner in each movie, this is the first film in the ‘Creed’ saga to not feature the character. They do mention his name once during the film but Rocky’s whereabouts was not clear, so what happened?

    Although Stallone created the characters in the original ‘Rocky’, he sold the rights to producer Irwin Winkler and MGM in order to have the first film made, therefore he has no real say in the future of the franchise. Stallone did not agree with the direction Winkler wanted to take with the franchise, and felt it was too dark.

    “That’s a regretful situation because I know what it could have been. It was taken in a direction that is quite different than I would’ve taken it. It’s a different philosophy — Irwin Winkler’s and Michael B. Jordan’s. I wish them well, but I’m much more of a sentimentalist. I like my heroes getting beat up, but I just don’t want them going into that dark space. I just feel people have enough darkness.”

    We don’t know whether Stallone will return to the franchise, but his absence was definitely noticeable as someone who had been a mentor for Donnie since the first ‘Creed’ film.
