Rocky VI producers are recruiting "real people" to get "the character and personality of Philadelphia."

Sylvester Stallone has begun shooting for the film, in which an aging Rocky again comes out of retirement, in Las Vegas.

Meanwhile, producers in Philadelphia are auditioning hundreds of hopefuls for parts in the movie.

"They want the character and personality of Philadelphia," said casting director Diane Heery. "We're looking for the face to the story of Philadelphia. We're looking for real people."
