BREAKING: Warner Bros has set Kevin Hart to play the fight promoter who gets two retired brawlers back in the ring in Grudge Match. Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone are now set to play the fighters who square off in the ring, and the studio has greenlighted the film that will be directed by Peter Segal. Tim Kelleher wrote the script and the most recent draft is by Entourage architect Doug Ellin, with Billy Gerber and Mark Steven Johnson producing with Michael Ewing.
Hart is hot stuff after Think Like A Man, but the draw here will be to see Rocky Balboa and Jake LaMotta from Raging Bull go at it in a grudge match. When I moderated a Tribeca Film Festival panel for Universal’s 100th birthday with De Niro and Judd Apatow, De Niro said he didn’t really see himself recapturing the killer shape he got into when he starred in Raging Bull and in Cape Fear. Now, he’s playing a retired fighter, but I’ll bet De Niro puts back on the six-pack, knowing that at 66, Stallone is always jacked.

Rocky 7: Viagra Falls
I’d be surprised if De Niro gets a six pack. Nevertheless, I am looking forward to seeing this movie.
Really hoping they can find a way to work “You Blew It” from CopLand into this movie.
It’d bring a tear to the eye…
hahahaha
I stil say this line almost everyday!
Awesome!
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What in the world????
I thought that this article was some type of April Fool’s joke. I thought it was talking about bringing back MTV’s “Celebrity Death Match” with Raging Bull vs. Rocky as claymation puppets. But you mean that DeNiro and Stallone actually signed on to this? This is both terrifying and exhilirating at the same time!
hmm… Make that simply terrifying.
This must be the dumbest idea ever.
So steroid pumped Stallone is fighting old fat deniro who has no muscle. Are they going to CGI the entire movie?
What a joke
This would play better as a four-minute SNL sketch.
The could be amazing or awful! I hope they make it funny, not another Rocky movie.
This should be Stallone and Schwarzenegger. Then it’s a bigger movie and more “believable” since DeNiro is woefully out of shape there is no way he will put on a six pack at his age with where his body is now.
Unless they’ve changed something, this is a comedy. It’s about 2 fighters that had a major fight in their primes and get back in the ring as old men. It’s not a serious movie.
Cant Wait for This!!!
really looking forward
Warner Bro’s – Please Proceed and start shooting.
Get the script in order.
Stallone is a Great Actor and is just way underated.
Copland was great with Good Performances
