I Play Rocky

<div><div>Featuring a career-making performance from Anthony Ippolito, the latest from Oscar winner Peter Farrelly (Green Book) vividly recreates the story of how an unknown named Sylvester Stallone got <i>Rocky</i> produced — and became a superstar.</div><div><br></div><div>There is no greater movie about beating the odds through sheer determination than Rocky. But the story behind that box-office smash — which turned its unknown writer-star Sylvester Stallone into a phenomenon — is just as unlikely and inspiring. Sylvester (Anthony Ippolito) dreams of being an actor, but he grew up poor, shuttled from home to home, and at one point lived on the street. Then he sees Muhammad Ali fight Chuck Wepner, and inspiration hits: in a few fevered days, he writes a screenplay about an underdog boxer who goes the distance. Studio executives love it — but he refuses to sell it unless he gets to play the lead. Turning down an offer of life-changing money, he instead works for pennies to get the movie made with himself in the starring role. The movie becomes the biggest box office hit of 1976, notching ten Oscar nominations and winning Best Picture.
