Stallone is Ready for Rambo 5

By Kevin Coll • August 31, 2009 • View Comments

Nu Image/Millennium Films is officially developing another Rambo making it the fifth film in the franchise, with Sylvester Stallone  - starring and directing – repeating his duties from 2008′s Rambo. The project’s storyline revolves around John Rambo fighting his way through human traffickers and drug lords to rescue a young girl abducted near the U.S.- Mexico border.

The last film revolved around Rambo protecting missionaries from warlords, whereas the previous 3 films all had Rambo in different locales fighting a variety of villains. I like the idea of the immigration and kidnapping aspect as that is a popular film plot right now with the success of Taken. Rambo makes a great franchise character as he is like a John McClane type, wrong place and wrong time guy who can kill almost anyone to save the day. I appreciate the fact that Stallone continues to do what he loves and that is blow shit up! I’d like to see another Die Hard film too.

Stallone had indicated in interviews that a fifth Rambo was in the works. He teamed with Nu Image/Millennium on the 2008 project, which grossed $42 million domestically and $113 million overseas. Production will start in the spring.
