Full production description

Written and directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Peter Farrelly (Green Book), “I PLAY ROCKY” is the true story of how the iconic boxing film “ROCKY” was made. The film will enter the ring in time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the ten-time Oscar nominated and Best Picture winning “ROCKY”. Anthony Ippolito stars as the young Sylvester Stallone, alongside a standout ensemble cast including AnnaSophia Robb, Matt Dillon, Stephan James, Tracy Letts, Jay Duplass and P.J. Byrne. 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, 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.
