The trailer for the biographical film “I Play Rocky” has just been released, featuring actor Anthony Ippolito in the lead role as a young Sylvester Stallone.
Directed by Peter Farrelly, the film chronicles Stallone’s struggle to get the 1976 classic “Rocky” produced and, above all, to star in it. It shows the challenges he faced in bringing the project to life and his determination to play the character who would change his life.
Ippolito’s performance in the first trailer for “I Play Rocky” caught the attention of fans not only because of his physical resemblance, but also due to the characterization and the remarkably accurate recreation of Stallone’s mannerisms and distinctive gravelly voice.
On social media, many people commented that Ippolito is so convincing as Stallone that the image almost looks as though it was created by AI.
In addition to Ippolito, the cast of “I Play Rocky” includes Stephan James as Carl Weathers, as well as AnnaSophia Robb, Matt Dillon, Toby Kebbell, Tracy Letts, Jay Duplass and Robert Morgan.
The Amazon MGM Studios film will arrive in theaters in November this year.
