Anthony Ippolito is Sly Stallone in 'I Play Rocky' Movie Official Trailer

"This movie is about having to believe in yourself... It's about going the distance. I put my heart & soul on the page. If I'm not willing to live up to what I wrote, then what's the point. So – do you believe in me? Or not?" Amazon MGM Studios has unveiled the official trailer for a movie called I Play Rocky, a story about the making of the boxing movie classic Rocky (1976) following a young Stallone as he writes the script and makes his acting debut in it. Anthony Ippolito stars as a young Sylvester Stallone, working on the streets of Philly, who decides to write his own script and make his mark playing the underdog boxer in this story. It also goes through the production and filming and release of the movie, showing Hollywood never believing in it until it became a massive hit ($117M at the box office in 1976). Ippolito stars as Sly, with Stephan James as Carl Weathers, AnnaSophia Robb as Sasha Czack, Matt Dillon, P.J Byrne, Toby Kebbell, Tracy Letts, Erik Palladino, Jay Duplass, Kiki Seto, and Robert Morgan. I Play Rocky hits theaters this November - right in the middle of the fall aiming for a wide release by Thanksgiving. This looks pretty good so far! His voice is a bit amusing, but the rest of it looks like an inspiring underdog-makes-a-film story. // Continue Reading ›
