You can't keep a good Sylvester Stallone hero down, even if they should have been dead ten or twenty times over through the course of their 1980s careers. John Rambo is set to take another step towards complete and utter immortality as Variety reports that Stallone is officially putting a fifth Rambo film into production. Stallone has been avidly talking about a fifth Rambo for nearly two years, and last anyone heard, was debating whether to set it in Austria or America. But seeing as there's not a ton of John Rambo-esque conflict in Austria at the moment, and Rambo did show him back on U.S. soil, he's opted for the latter. The storyline finds our hero on the U.S.-Mexican border, fighting through human traffickers and drug lords in order to rescue a young kidnapped girl. (Actually, I can see the exact same movie set in Austria, but Stallone & Company probably realized it would be too close to the story of Taken. Or maybe they really did opt in favor of geographical continuity.)
Lest you think this is just talk, Nu Image / Millennium Films have officially green-lit the film, and it's set to begin production in the spring. I know I should be really critical of this and roll my eyes, but I can't help it. There's something very comforting in seeing an old warhorse continue to unleash semi-automatic hell on those most deserving of it.
'Rambo 5' is On ... in Bulgaria!?

Well, you asked for it. (Did you ask for it? I wasn't sure if you asked -- because I know someone asked, but maybe it was a different question.) According to Screen Daily (via Moviehole), Sylvester Stallone will return for another installment in his Rambo franchise, despite what the actor has said previously. Apparently, they'll be utilizing new stages being built in Bulgaria -- and that Rambo 5 will be one of the first films to shoot on said stages. Does this mean the new Rambo won't find the title character returning to the United States? Who knows. But I bet he'll be kicking a whole lot of ass wherever he is.
Not long ago, Stallone signed a deal to star in and produce two more action films. Since then, there's been a ton of speculation regarding which films, exactly, he has in mind. Since both Rocky 6 and Rambo 4 were successful, talk soon turned to other famous Stallone characters (like the rumor that he'd be making a Cliffhanger 2), as well as other famous movies (like the rumor that he wanted to remake Death Wish). Honestly, I'd prefer the Death Wish route over all else. I'd kinda like to see Stallone play an average, over-the-hill guy who, due to certain unforeseen circumstances, must take the law into his own hands. Rambo 5? Eh? Really? Do we need it?
