UPDATED with Sly Voicemail! AICN Exclusive: RAMBO V: THE SAVAGE HUNT - a touch of science fiction... -- Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. Thoughts?
Uh, I have no idea what he's trying to do with this or if it can be pulled off without being laughable but I know I'm friggin watching it regardless.
I completely love the Rambo series but WTF is he doing. The last one ended perfectly with him coming home.
I thought the last film was the perfect ending to Sly-Rambo. If they really want to do this, they need a new young Rambo imo. I'd watch it regardless.
You know when you get to a point where a sequel of any kind seems like a bad idea? That's what the end of the last Rambo was.
The only way i see it working is if the hire him to train a team. A 60+ Y.O. makes no sense to go hunt a soldier.
I'll see this in theaters opening day. Then at least one or two times after, even if it sucks. 'Cus even if it sucks, it's going to have some top notch Rambo action sequences. So yeah, either way, I'll see it. And love it. [edit] Just re-listened to Sly's voicemail, and read the description... I'm actually quite a bit excited about it! Sounds like Rambo (and his team) will be hunting Weapon X! Or, at least the US Government's equvalent. That actually sound quite bad-ass...
So it's just The Hunted with Rambo? That doesn't sound bad at all. Rambo is like the Solid Snake of Hollywood action films. When shit hits the fan, you call only one man. Rambo.
Might as well be Rambo V. hollywood is running out of ideas. But it would not surprise me if they announce a remake of the first Rambo movie.
So is someone stealing Jello at the Nursing home and Rambo is called in? I can't wait for the big Rascal Scooter chase. "To survive Bingo. You have to become Bingo"
That would be cool, especially if they keep it closer to the book. Maybe update the time frame or some such.
Sounds like they're revisiting some of the ideas from that mooted idea of Rambo hunting Bin Laden: Rambo leading a team of young men and making them realise that youth and technology aren't everything. Also sounds pretty damn cool. Nice symmetry in a way, with Rambo taking on the Trautman role.
Listening to Stallone's voicemail was unreal. I thought this rumor was a ridiculous, RIDICULOUS, obvious fake, like Cher being Catwoman or Miley Cyrus being Batgirl. That voicemail made it REAL. I can't WAIT to see this!!!!!!!!!!!!
John Rambo (like Rocky Balboa) is one of those characters that can never be recast and any attempt to do so will result in absolute failure.
