“A very flattering portrait of the great producer of” Rocky “/” Creed, “Irwin Winkler, one of the most important in the country, wrote Stallone, adding:
After Irwin has controlled ‘Rocky’ for over 47 years and now ‘Creed’, I’d really like to get back at least a little bit of what’s left of my rights before handing them over to his children alone – I guess it would be fair a gesture by this 93-year-old gentleman?
Sylvester Stallone: I wanted to leave something of Rocky for my kids
Stallone in recent years has begun to express frustration over the lack of ownership of films like “Rocky” that he has helped create. It was he who invented and wrote the script (he was for him, as for his role, nominated for an Oscar in 1977). For the subsequent parts, as well as the continuation, in which the title role was taken over by the son of Apollo Creed, Stallone received an honorarium, incl. as an actor and producer. In 2019, “Variety”, who writes about the case this time, posted more than $ 10 million for “Creed” and its sequel. “Stallone had a share of the profits and the promised payout, but feels cheated.
“It’s a painful topic that eats my soul because I wanted to leave something from Rocky to my kids, but it’s always good to hear from loyal fans… keep fighting,” concluded Stallone’s later deleted post.
Already three years ago, the actor said that he would expect some kind of “pension” for his children, paid out of profits after his death. He mentioned that he was furious when he heard that he was paid, so he shouldn’t have complained.
