AceShowbiz - The first official clip for I Play Rocky has been released, offering an early look at Anthony Ippolito's portrayal of Sylvester Stallone. The clip, titled "There's Only One Sylvester," arrives ahead of the film's theatrical rollout from Amazon MGM Studios.
I Play Rocky is directed by Peter Farrelly and written by Peter Gamble. The film is produced by Toby Emmerich, Christian Baha, Farrelly, Paul Currie and Michele Weiss.
The movie is described as an electrifying true story about an unknown actor with an unshakable belief that he was not just meant to write Rocky — he was meant to be Rocky Balboa. Told "no" at every turn, Stallone bets everything on himself, holding the line on playing the lead against seemingly impossible odds. The result is billed as the ultimate underdog story behind the ultimate underdog movie.
Alongside Ippolito, the cast includes AnnaSophia Robb, Toby Kebbell, P.J. Byrne, Jay Duplass, Kiki Seto, featuring Matt Dillon with Stephan James and Tracy Letts.
I Play Rocky opens in select theaters on November 6 and everywhere in November.
