Amazon has just dropped the trailer for I Am Rocky.
It’s a movie about the making of a movie… Rocky
That might sound a bit Inception, but it actually makes a lot of sense. It's something I've been expecting for a while.
Not this specific film…but this entire genre.
We've had a wave of musician biopics over the last few years, and you could argue that most of the biggest stories have now been told.
So what's next?
The stories behind how classic films were made have always been fascinating
And when I say "classic", I'm also talking about '80s icons like Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, and E.T.
These films come with a built in fan base. Just look at how successful stage adaptations of classic movies have become.
I've long thought that the "making of a classic movie" genre was going to be the next big thing.
Rocky is a great choice because it can also work as a biopic of Sylvester Stallone and his struggle to get the original film made.
If this is a huge success and especially if it picks up Oscar attention… I think we'll see many more films like it. A whole new genre could be about to emerge.
I genuinely like the trailer, and I'll definitely be watching I Am Rocky.
