AceShowbiz - A new official poster for I Play Rocky has been released, putting Anthony Ippolito front and center as Sylvester Stallone. The second poster for the film arrives as tickets go on sale for its theatrical run.
The film is directed by Academy Award winner Peter Farrelly and written by Peter Gamble. It tells the true story of Stallone's struggle to star in Rocky against seemingly impossible odds, an unknown actor with an unshakable belief that he was not just meant to write the film but to be Rocky Balboa.
Told no at every turn, Stallone bets everything on himself, holding the line on playing the lead. The result, per the film's logline, is the ultimate underdog story behind the ultimate underdog movie.
Ippolito leads a cast that includes AnnaSophia Robb, Toby Kebbell, P.J. Byrne, Jay Duplass, Kiki Seto, Matt Dillon, Stephan James and Tracy Letts.
The film is produced by Toby Emmerich, p.g.a., Christian Baha, p.g.a., Farrelly, p.g.a., Paul Currie and Michele Weiss. Amazon MGM Studios presents.
I Play Rocky opens in select theaters on November 6 and everywhere on November 20. Tickets are now on sale.
