Rocky star Sylvester Stallone has announced that his new cut of Rocky IV has been retitled. The movie will be released as Rocky Vs. Drago–The Ultimate Director’s Cut.
Stallone confirmed the new title on Instagram and revealed that the movie will be accompanied by a feature-length behind-the-scenes documentary titled Keep Punching: The Present Meets the Past, which documents the process of reworking the original movie.
The star also posted a trailer for the documentary. It shows Stallone working in a “basically empty” post-production facility alongside an editor on the new version of Rocky IV. In the trailer, he states that he made the movie to give him something to do during the pandemic, and that he was approaching the re-edit with “a sensitivity and a wisdom, and confidence.” Check it out below:
