Roll Credits

Before Rocky Balboa became a cinematic legend, Sylvester Stallone was a struggling actor with a screenplay nobody wanted to make with him in the leading role.

I Play Rocky (2026) tells the extraordinary true story behind the creation of one of cinema's most beloved underdog stories. Determined to play the character he had written, Stallone rejected increasingly tempting offers and risked everything to make his vision a reality.

Starring Anthony Ippolito as a young Stallone and directed by Peter Farrelly, the film takes us back to the chaotic beginnings of Rocky (1976), from financial struggles and Hollywood negotiations to the challenges of filming on a shoestring budget.

We explore the real stories behind the movie, the people who helped bring it to life, the legendary casting moments and the truth behind some of Hollywood's most famous anecdotes.

Because sometimes the greatest underdog story isn't the one you see on screen. It's the one that happened behind the camera.
