Is there hope for a fifth and probably final Rambo movie after all? And what direction would it take?
There have been mixed messages as far as a fifth Rambo movie has been concerned. At one point, Sylvester Stallone was plotting a Rambo 5 that involved its hero pitting his not inconsiderable firepower against aliens. That plan was rejected, but eventually, so it seemed was the idea of a further Rambo movie.
However, it appears that the project has signs of life to it, according to the Twitter page of Sean Hood.
Hood has been attached as screenwriter of Rambo 5 for some time, and was reported to have completed a draft of the film. And when asked what the status of the project was, he answered that “Rambo 5 on hold as Sly finished Expendables 2. He hasn’t decided if R5 will be an "Unforgiven" or a "passing of the torch."”
That certainly tells a different story to earlier reports that Stallone had dropped Rambo altogether. Could there be yet one more hurrah for John Rambo on the big screen? We guess we’ll see once The Expendables 2 is finally done and dusted, PG-13 and all…
