Rocky spin-off "Creed". Michael B. Jordan. Sylvester Stallone.

Might it be possible that he was conceived in 84, but that he wasn't actually born until 9 months after Apollo died?

That works because of Adonis' line about not knowing his father, which would fit in with him being born after Apollo's death.

I was a bit surprised that nobody has yet to make a reference to a certain 80's Rock song that was in Rocky III to this trailer.

And it wasn't the song played during the training montage.

If you're referring to "Eye of the Tiger" I didn't catch it. Where or at what point in the trailer does it appear?

Creed fans start petition to change name of Rocky spin-off

http://www.factmag.com/2015/07/02/creed-movie-creed-fans-petition-mgm-for-name-change/


“The Creedmunity will not be silenced.”

You may have heard about Creed, a forthcoming Rocky spin-off in which Sylvester Stallone reprises the role of boxer Rocky Balboa and trains the son of Apollo Creed, his rival in the first two films of the saga. Well, so has the dedicated fanbase of Christian rock band Creed, and they don’t like it one bit.
The media attention on the forthcoming movie has made it difficult for the “Creedmunity” to follow news of the band in Google searches and social media, and as a result one fan has started a Change.org petition to get movie studio MGM to change the name of the film.
“The movie Creed about the son of Rocky Balboa’s deceased trainer’s son, is making it difficult, if not impossible, for the still-vital online Creed fanbase to exchange thoughts and discussion regarding band developments, song interpretation, rumors, non-erotic fanfiction, and deeper insights into the expanded Creed universe,” writes petition organiser Nick Robinson.
“MGM has completely disrespected the Creedmunity by using the name of the still-popular band for their non-Creed related movie and have been stifling conversation by flooding social media hashtags and searches with non-music Creed discussion. MGM should have consulted Creed experts and online leaders before titling this movie.”
We’d take this petition with a pinch of salt – it’s only looking for 100 signatures, and some of the alternative names suggested surely have to be a joke. As well as Boxer Creed, Rocky: The Next Generation and Apollo Creed’s Son there’s Creed (not the band).
The petition warns that if the studio doesn’t change the title, “no self-respecting Creed fan will EVER see this movie, not even on bootleg”. MGM should probably take it seriously regardless – if there’s one thing you don’t want, it’s the combined weight of America’s Christian community boycotting your film.

It has to be a joke. the whole petition was written with a tongue in cheek style.

Can't they just split the difference and have the next trailer feature Higher?

After seeing this trailer I'm super excited for this. Seems like there is a lot of boxing movies on the way.

 

[Tim_Riggins]

That's what you call an incredible trailer, just wow. Great editing, feel, visuals and great music choice. Coogler is going to be very interesting to follow. Calling an Oscar nom for Michael B. and Sly.

They had fans?

They had fans?

It's pretty obvious they did and I'm one of them but I like the film's name and it looks great

 

[Lencho01]

I have to admit, I forgot about Creed's existence until reading the story.

Someone should cut the trailer with Creed music.

Mmh, MBJ looks good, very good ( in the GIFs ).
I will check the trailer ASAP.

 

[DarKush]

Nice trailer. My only issue is they need to have Duke in this.

 

[ShadowBoxer]

I liked the trailer. I will definitely check this out when it hits theaters.

 

[The Sage]

There are moments when Jordan's boxing that he reminds me of Weathers.

 

[LostSon88]

I can very much see him as Apollos son.

 

[Wheels]

They had fans?

They had a diamond certified album......

 

[LostSon88]

The album went triple myrrh.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

I forgot creed was a thing. I was much happier then.

 

[Golgo-13]

I hope there's a training montage, with "getting stronger" playing over the scene..

 

[Urich Leeds]

I wonder if Drago will get name dropped in this movie.

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

The trailer looks cool. The movie looks promising.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Fantastic trailer. I do really think this can be something. Hopefully this can replace Rocky V as a six part saga.

But I want Drago to show up and apologize to Adonis.
