Sylvester Stallone is writing a Rocky prequel that’s “almost like Lady and the Tramp”

Sylvester Stallone has teased an upcoming Rocky prequel – and compared it to an unlikely Disney animated classic. 

“The Rocky prequel is very near and dear to my heart,” Stallone told the Inspire Me podcast. “I wrote a few pages of it and it just seems to write itself. Seeing Adrian at 15, Rocky at 17, Paulie moving to a new neighborhood. Rocky is your bad boy. It’s almost like Lady and the Tramp, but with real people. It’s going to be wonderful.”
