FlickDirect and Amazon MGM Studios are offering free passes to a special November 18 screening of Peter Farrelly's film about Sylvester Stallone's fight to bring Rocky to the big screen.
Before Rocky became one of the most beloved films in Hollywood history, Sylvester Stallone was an unknown actor fighting for the chance to tell his own story. That determination is at the heart of I Play Rocky, starring Anthony Ippolito as Stallone. FlickDirect readers in South Florida can attend a special free screening on Wednesday, November 18, at AMC Aventura, courtesy of Amazon MGM Studios.
Directed by Academy Award winner Peter Farrelly, the film follows Stallone as he struggles to break into Hollywood while refusing to give up control of the screenplay he believes could change his life. Studios want to buy Rocky, but there's a catch: Stallone insists on playing the title character himself. With little money and no guarantee of success, he risks his future rather than surrender the role.
It's the kind of underdog story that made Rocky a classic in the first place. Long before audiences watched Rocky Balboa run up the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps, Stallone was fighting his own uphill battle to get the movie made.
Ippolito leads a cast that includes Matt Dillon, AnnaSophia Robb, P.J. Byrne, Toby Kebbell, Tracy Letts, Jay Duplass, and Stephan James. Written by Peter Gamble, I Play Rocky is rated PG-13 and runs approximately 128 minutes.
