There will soon be a movie on the making of ‘Rocky’. Peter Farrelly is roped in to direct the movie and it is titled ‘I Play Rocky’.
The story of Sylvester Stallone going on to be one of the biggest stars of Hollywood from being an outsider is really an inspiring tale. ‘Rocky’, the powerful sports drama directed by John G. Avildsen, came out in 1976. The screenplay was written by Sylvester Stallone himself, and after multiple failures, he was determined to be cast in the role of Rocky with the complete screenplay ready at hand.
The casting is underway and it is not yet revealed who will play the role of Sylvester Stallone. Jacob Elordi might be a very good option, but it is a sports drama and recreating Sly’s physique from the 70s will be a tough job for any actor.
‘The Offer’ created by Michael Tolkin tells the story of how the epic gangster movie ‘Godfather’ was created. The shoe was not much hyped and despite having such an interesting premise it did not deliver up to the expectations. The stories of making movies are intriguing and Steven Spielberg’s ‘The Fabelmans’ was a wonderful example though it did not tell a true story. ‘I Play Rocky’ will be going the same way and let us see how much noise the movie makes among fans.
