The first trailer has been released for I Play Rocky, a new biographical drama directed by Peter Farrelly that tells the inspiring story of how a struggling young Sylvester Stallone fought to star in the film that changed his life. The movie stars Anthony Ippolito as Stallone during the 1970s, when he wrote the screenplay for Rocky but refused to sell it unless he was cast as the lead. Despite repeated rejection from Hollywood studios, Stallone held firm, ultimately landing the starring role that launched his career. The real Rocky became one of Hollywood's greatest success stories, earning 10 Academy Award nominations and winning three Oscars, including Best Picture. Stallone also received Oscar nominations for Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay. The cast includes Matt Dillon, AnnaSophia Robb, Toby Kebbell, Tracy Letts, Jay Duplass, and Stephan James. After generating strong buzz at CinemaCon and the Cannes Film Festival, I Play Rocky is scheduled for a limited theatrical release on November 6, positioning it as a potential awards contender.
