AceShowbiz - I Play Rocky, the film starring Anthony Ippolito as Sylvester Stallone, expands to additional theaters on Friday, November 13, after beginning its run in select theaters. The Amazon MGM Studios release is scheduled to open everywhere on November 20.
Two new official film clips have been released to mark the expansion: "I Wrote This for Me" and "Training." The film is directed by Peter Farrelly and written by Peter Gamble.
The film tells the true story of an unknown actor with an unshakable belief that he was not just meant to write Rocky but 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.
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.
The film is produced by Toby Emmerich, p.g.a., Christian Baha, p.g.a., Farrelly, p.g.a., Paul Currie and Michele Weiss. It is rated PG-13 for strong language, brief sexual material and smoking.
I Play Rocky is now playing in select theaters, moves into additional theaters on November 13 and opens everywhere on November 20.
