  Speaker 2: The upcoming biopic, I Am Rocky, is about Sylvester Stallone's
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: legendary fight to get Rocky made and star in it,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: which he was only able to accomplish because he'd written
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: the script and wouldn't sell it any other way. It
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: is a legendary story.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: And most people assume that Sly was involved behind the
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: scenes with I Am Rocky, but he tells 92NY that
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: he actually has nothing to do with it. He admitted
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: that he was a little weirded out at first by
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: the whole thing, joking, I'm not dead yet. Aren't we
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: jumping the gun a little bit?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Until he saw some of the clips. He saw a
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: video of the guy playing him, Anthony Ippolito, and Sly
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: literally thought he was watching himself.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he says certain angles, the resemblance is uncanny, which
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: is saying something when you're talking about your own doppelganger.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: The only way he was involved was a quick Zoom call.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Stallone and Anthony actually lined up virtually while he was
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: shooting Tulsa King, and Anthony has said he couldn't have
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: been more gracious and just let him do his thing.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I am Rocky. It's theaters next month.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: That's direct from Hollywood.
