"John Rambo" Finds a Home at Lionsgate

by | June 5, 2007 | Comments

When Sylvester Stallone‘s "John Rambo" hits theaters later this year (or early next year), it’ll come baring that creepy grindy-gears Lionsgate logo that all the horror fans know and love.

Moviehole informs us that Lionsgate will be distributing the fourth "Rambo" movie, and they smartly note that (because of the Artisan take-over) Lionsgate also owns the three previous movies. Which means: Expect a big fat trilogy DVD set to hit the scene later this year!

Also, here’s the official press notes on "John Rambo."

Quote:


In Thailand, a group of Christian aid workers recruit John Rambo to guide them up the Salween River to deliver medical supplies to the Karen tribe of neighboring Burma (aka Myanmar). When the missionaries fail to return, Rambo is persuaded to take a group of mercenaries back into the war-torn border region to find them. What follows is a descent into hell on earth. Sylvester Stallone writes, directs, produces and stars as JOHN RAMBO, filmed on location in and around Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Also starring are Julie Benz, Matthew Marsden, Graham McTavish, Rey Gallegos, Jake La Botz, Tim Kang and Paul Schulze. JOHN RAMBO is produced by Avi Lerner, Kevin King and John Thompson. Executive producers are Andreas Thiesmeyer, Avi Lerner, Josef Lautenschlager and Florian Lechner. Director of Photography is Glen MacPherson. Production Designer is Franco Carbone and the Costume Designer is Lizz Wolf.
