I Play Rocky (2026)

Based on the incredible true story behind one of Hollywood’s greatest success stories, I Play Rocky follows an unknown actor and screenwriter with an unshakable belief that he wasn’t just meant to write Rocky—he was meant to become Rocky Balboa. As Sylvester Stallone struggles to break into Hollywood, he refuses repeated offers to sell his screenplay unless he is allowed to star in the film himself, risking everything on a dream that few believed was possible.

Told “no” at every turn, Stallone refuses to compromise, betting his future on the conviction that he alone can bring Rocky Balboa to life. Directed by Academy Award winner Peter Farrelly, I Play Rocky chronicles the remarkable determination, sacrifice, and perseverance that transformed an aspiring actor into a Hollywood legend while giving the world one of cinema’s most inspiring underdog stories.
