Philadelphia's
CBS 3 reports that Sylvester Stallone has returned to the
city to film Rocky Balboa, 30 years after Rocky first
ran up the stairs of the Philadelphia Art Museum.
The channel says filming has already wrapped in Los Angeles
and Las Vegas, but the bulk of the sixth installment is to
be shot in Philadelphia.
Numerous trailers were parked at the Laurel Hill Cemetery in
the Strawberry Mansion section of the city as the first day
of filming in Philadelphia began Monday.
St. Thomas Aquinas church is another planned location for
the film, which may be a familiar site for fans of the
series.
"In the original film, Rocky came here and got
married," said production publicist Cheryl Main.
Columbia Pictures will release Rocky Balboa on
February 9, 2007.
