Stallone Signs to Dredge Up Another Old Hero Called Rambo

Not long after the final announcement that "Rocky 6" would become a reality (for better or for worse) comes fresh word from The Hollywood Reporter that yet another old Stallone hero will make his return. Of course it’s gotta be John Rambo.

"The franchise that drew "First Blood" is back with a fourth installment.

Millennium Films in conjunction with Emmett/Furla Films and Equity Pictures are partnering on a $50 million "Rambo IV." Sylvester Stallone is attached to star.

The story centers on former Vietnam vet John Rambo, who is living a reclusive life back home in the U.S. But when a girl goes missing, he is forced to abandon his quiet lifestyle and take justice into his own hands.

No director is attached, and the screenplay is in the early stages."

Now that the contracts are in place, Stallone plans to shoot "Rambo 4" in the spring … because he’s shooting "Rocky 6" in December.
