BECOMING ROCKY

The unbelievable yet true story of million-to-one underdog Sylvester Stallone & his journey from homeless in NYC, to writing and starring in the legendary film "Rocky".

What made you decide to write Becoming Rocky?

While conducting research for my nonfiction book REJECTED! True Tales of (nearly) Overlooked Greatness I came across the Stallone story, which just floored me. Here was a guy from Hell’s Kitchen who had literally been homeless before writing Rocky, and when he was eventually offered hundreds of thousands of dollars for the script on the condition that he NOT star in it? Although he was flat-broke, he STILL turned them all down! To me, that was stunning... and hugely inspirational.

What's the latest news on Becoming Rocky?

As luck would have it, the script got to Bonnie Bernstein at ICM, who gave it to another agent there, and eventually Stallone himself was informed about the project & received a hard copy of the script.
Long story short; All I can say about it at the moment is... more will be revealed soon!
