July 15 (UPI) -- Amazon MGM Studios is giving a glimpse of the new film I Play Rocky.
The studio shared a trailer for the movie Wednesday featuring Anthony Ippolito as a young Sylvester Stallone.
I Play Rocky explores the making of the hit 1976 film Rocky, which catapulted Stallone to fame. Rocky, written by and starring Stallone, was a critical and commercial success that inspired five sequels and the Creed spinoff films.
The trailer shows a young Stallone (Ippolito) turn down offer after offer until producers agree to him playing underdog boxer Rocky Balboa himself. AnnaSophia Robb co-stars as Stallone's supportive first wife, Sasha Czack.
