Rocky's Story: A New Film on the Horizon

A new movie called I Play Rocky is coming out in 2026. It tells the story of how Sylvester Stallone made the famous Rocky films. The movie is directed by Peter Farrelly and written by Peter Gamble. Anthony Ippolito will play Stallone in this biopic. The cast also includes Tracy Letts, Matt Dillon, AnnaSophia Robb, and Jay Duplass. Scot Teller is playing actor Burt Young. He recently shared a video from the set on Instagram. The video shows a glimpse of the filming process. The caption reads, \"See you on The Big Screen November 2026. Keep your circle small with legendary people. \"The original Rocky movie came out in November 1976. This new biopic will hit theaters around the same time, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the classic film. Rocky had several sequels from 1979 to 2006. There was also the Creed trilogy from 2015 to 2023, with Creed 4 in development. In late 2026, I Play Rocky will share the box office with other big releases. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is set for November 20. Greta Gerwig's The Chronicles of Narnia will be in IMAX on November 26. There will also be other Oscar contenders around that time. The movie's success will depend on how well it's made. Director Peter Farrelly won an Oscar for Green Book. Peter Gamble is a rising talent. However, Sylvester Stallone is not involved in this project. He said he was \"blindsided\" when he found out about the movie.
