The Big Picture Characters like Rocky just don’t seem to stay down. Green Book director Peter Farrelly has just been confirmed by Variety to be directing a film about the behind-the-scenes development of the 1976 sports drama Rocky. The upcoming film, titled I Play Rocky, will detail Sylvester Stallone’s determination to play the main character in his self-written script — a role that would cement both him and his character into film history forever.
Stallone’s little sports-drama-that-could not only winds up at the top of the 1976 box office and earns an Oscar for Best Picture — it also ends up becoming one of the most iconic films of all time. I Play Rocky is set to be produced by director Farrelly as well as former chairman of Warner Bros Pictures Toby Emmerich. Peter Gamble, writer behind 2018 horror comedy Office Uprising, has already written the screenplay.
