In today’s film news roundup, “40 Years of Rocky” gets a release date, Pierce Brosnan’s “The King’s Daughter” finds a home and the 2020 Lower East Side Film Festival unveils its programming.
Release Date
Virgil Films has set a June 9 digital release date for the documentary “40 Years of Rocky,” which chronicles the behind-the-scenes journey of the 1976 classic “Rocky.”
Sylvester Stallone recounts the making of the film — which won the 1977 Academy Award for Best Picture — through rare home movies filmed by “Rocky” director John G. Avildsen. The documentary was written and directed by Derek Wayne Johnson, who served as co-producer with Chris May of Cinema 83 Entertainment and Cinema 83 Documentary Films.
“The documentary is a golden nugget for ‘Rocky’ fans and casual audiences alike,” said Johnson. “It’s a charming piece of film history narrated by Rocky himself, Sylvester Stallone, and will give audiences an intimate, and at times, emotional experience.

Good afternoon my lovelies!
Happy birthday to Nicole Kidman, Olympia Dukakis, Dreama Walker and Grace Potter!
New York lawmakers are scolding Former Congressman Anthony Weiner after he dealt with a voter who called Christine Quinn a “dyke” and then failed to respond to the homophobic slur in a more aggressive way.
The FBI is using a sketch from Carrie Brownstein’s Portlandia as a training tool. Back in April, the FBI Academy in Virginia asked the Portlandia producers if they could use a clip from the sketch “Sanitation Twins” in its advanced-intelligence classes. The classes focus on espionage, IP theft and terrorism. What the what?!
Bikini-clad Naomi Watts and Robin Wright star in the May-December romantic film Adore (formerly titled Two Mothers). Now if I could only figure out how to Photoshop those dudes off the poster.
Sam Taylor-Johnson has been hired...

Good afternoon my lovelies!
Rooney Mara (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) is Interview magazine’s March covergirl.
Rumor has it Mila Kunis might star in the film adaption of 50 Shades of Grey. Um, yes please.
Music mogul Clive Davis has come out as bisexual. In Davis’s memoir The Sound Track of My Life he reveals that he had two serious relationships with men, although no names were mentioned. While promoting his memoir Davis sat down with ABC News and declared that bisexuality does exist. (You’re preaching to the choir, Clive.)
It is estimated that Lady Gaga’s canceled tour is costing $25 million in refunded tickets. Ouch! On a side note, Gaga showed off her latest accessory on Twitter; her wheelchair named Emma.
