Here is the link to the trailer on YouTube.
I have always loved the story of how Sylvester Stallone made Rocky. What always resonatted was how much the story of making the movie paralleled the movie itself. It is really the same story, except one is about sports and the other about the movies.
It is a fundamentally American story. There are a lot of people who fail at their dreams who believed in themselves. But the only way to make your dreams come true is to have that unshakeable belief. And in America, you can risk it all and win.
Anthony Ippolito's portrayal of Stallone seems spot-on. He has his cadence, voice, and body language down. Now an impression is not the same thing as a great performance, but he drew me in.
And of course, this could all be a gigantic nostalgia-bait film. So many of the shots in the trailer are either direct recreations of Rocky or are homages to it. But that worked out really well for Michael, so I am excited.
Thoughts?
