New film "I Play Rocky" details original movie's creation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new film, "I Play Rocky," chronicles the creation of the original "Rocky" movie, with Sylvester Stallone's story being portrayed by actor Anthony Ippolito. The film, directed by Peter Farrelly, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and was developed independently before Amazon MGM Studios acquired distribution rights. Screenwriter Peter Gamble noted that rival studios were hesitant to produce the film due to concerns about promoting another studio's franchise, making it an ideal project for Amazon MGM, which owns the "Rocky" intellectual property.
