The first trailer for I Play Rocky, director Peter Farrelly‘s film starring Anthony Ippolito as an unknown young actor named Sylvester Stallone is here.

The film is an electrifying true story about an unknown actor with an unshakable belief that he wasn’t just meant to write Rocky—he was meant to be Rocky Balboa. Told “no” at every turn, Sylvester Stallone bets everything on himself, holding the line on playing the lead against seemingly impossible odds. The result is the ultimate underdog story behind the ultimate underdog movie.

Gamble penned I Play Rocky, which also stars Matt Dillon, AnnaSophia Robb, P.J. Byrne, Toby Kebbell, Tracy Letts, Jay Duplass, Stephan James, Kiki Seto, Robert Morgan, Saul Stein, Trevor St. John, Erik Palladino and Rob Demery. 

Amazon MGM Studios has set a limited opening for the film, which hits select theaters on November 6.
