While much of The Iron Claw has been visible since the acclaimed wrestling drama’s release, we haven’t seen much from Stanley Simons who played Mike Von Erich. Well, now Simons is back in the coming-of-age drama Rocky’s, which Comingsoon has exclusively debuted the first trailer.
Simons stars with Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin star Henry Nelson in the film from writers/directors Benjamin Cohen and Max Strand. Also in the cast are Gil Perez-Abraham (The Batman), Jasai Chase Owens (Mutt), Ani Mesa (Superior), Sharlene Cruz (In The Summers), Steven Maier (Omni Loop), Brandon Lindsay (A Soldier’s Play – National Tour), Dante Palimteri and Dani Foster.
Here’s the synopsis: “Growing up, Charlie and his friends spent their days loitering in the parking lot of Rocky’s, the neighborhood 24/7 deli. Years later, after drifting apart during their college years, Charlie receives word that an ex-girlfriend has tragically died. He returns home ahead of the funeral, aware that there are some people that it will be awkward to see. His first stop is Rocky’s, where he runs into a cast of characters from his past; some are happy to see him, others are not. In real-time, Charlie’s old crew reconnects to confront past wounds, eat a few sandwiches, and face the reality that they’ve grown up, whether they want to admit it or not.”
Gravitas Ventures will release Rocky’s digitally on January 21st.
