Sylvestor Stallone Announces Rambo V: A Savage Hunt Bringing Science Fiction to the Franchise

By Kevin Coll • September 7, 2009 • 2 Comments

A week ago we ran a story that there would be a fifth Rambo film that would revolve around the title character saving a young girl from being kidnapped on the Mexico-US border. Turns out the story was right, there is a Rambo 5 but the original story details couldn’t be more wrong.

AICN got the first hand scoop from the man himself, Sylvester Stallone.. He also said that the film will indeed take place in the United States, but that it will be structured differently from the sequels we’ve seen in the past.

According to Stallone himself, Rambo V: A Savage Hunt will take place in the Pacific Northwest, in the general area where First Blood took place. Rambo will come in contact with a secret U.S. Military instillation that is conducting “savagry” experiments on soliders. Their plan is to create brilliant, instinctual killer soldiers that have no qualms about killing other men in combat. In Sly’s conversation he brought up the “ancient Immortals”, a group of children that were raised to kill since birth.

The story has the experiments working out for the military, until one of the killers becomes unstoppable and sets off on a rampage. John Rambo is brought in as part of a Black Ops Squad to capture and kill this “worse than Rambo” soldier. AICN also has an image of the 1-Sheet that Sly will be bringing to the Toronto Film Festival.
