In 1977, a little movie called Rocky won three Oscars, including Best Picture. With that, its role in Hollywood history was solidified.
And the making of the film had a fighting history of its own. Therefore, 50 years after its release, its story is being told in I Play Rocky.
The film is an electrifying true story about an unknown actor with an unshakable belief that he wasn’t just meant to write Rocky—he was meant to be Rocky Balboa. Told “no” at every turn, Sylvester Stallone bets everything on himself, holding the line on playing the lead against seemingly impossible odds. The result is the ultimate underdog story behind the ultimate underdog movie.
After watching the trailer, I am wondering if this biopic could do the same. And can Anthony Ippolito do what Sylvester Stallone did not, and win the statuette for Best Actor?
