I Play Rocky Trailer

Only one man was meant to play Rocky. This is his story. The trailer takes us back to 1975, where an unknown actor and struggling screenwriter believes he isn’t just meant to write Rocky – he was meant to be Rocky Balboa. Refusing to sell the script unless he could star in it himself, Sylvester Stallone risks it all on a dream few others could see. From Academy Award-winning director Peter Farrelly, whose Green Book claimed Best Picture in 2019, comes the inspiring true underdog story behind the ultimate underdog movie. It’s certainly fitting that the story behind Rocky’s rise to Best Picture glory comes from a filmmaker who knows a thing or two about Oscar success himself. Striking parallels with Stallone’s own journey are found in the casting of Anthony Ippolito, too. A little-known newcomer himself, and one who looks set to deliver a career-making performance, transforming into the young Stallone and capturing the grit, determination, and fighting spirit that turned Rocky from a longshot into a cinematic champion. An uplifting crowdpleaser, make sure you take your shot and see I Play Rocky in cinemas November 6.
