'I started out this morning by writing a treatment for a Rocky prequel For streaming. Ideally 10 episodes for a few seasons to really get to the heart of the Characters… Hope it happens - And then I needed to clear my head so I went fishing… Talk about extremes! Keep punching my friends.'

I love Stallone, but I wish he'd leave some things be?

How about a few new (stand-alone) thrillers instead?

I will be all over this! Is it too early to get excited??

My only issue is how hard it will be to cast someone else as Rocky.

Stallone's too smart to make something completely UN-entertaining

I can't help but wonder, though, how interesting Rocky was before his big break

He was just a small-time boxer and loan-shark muscle with a couple of turtles for friends

So I have to admit, I'm curious how he'll make this work. But I do believe in Stallone. I found the last Rocky film (in 2006) solid and satisfying, I thought, even though I'd been sure that Rocky's story was over & done with after Rocky V.
