Rambo 5 a go

For reasons that may have involved an exorbitant amount of booze, we missed the announcement in a Hollywood Reporter article a couple of weeks back discussing the appointment of Alli Shearmur as president of motion picture production at Lionsgate, that RAMBO 5 is pretty much a go. Check it out:

On the development horizon are “Warrior,” which Gavin O’Connor co-wrote and will direct; “Conan,” a fast-tracked project with multiple scripts in the works; “Severance Package,” with Brett Simon writing and directing; “Rambo V,” to be written and directed by Sylvester Stallone; “Korean Wedding” from writer Jason Filardi; and “Kane & Lynch,” a video game adaptation that will star Bruce Willis.

Say whaaa? Slow down there, cowboy. This thing is locked and loaded? When did this happen? Either way, considering the fourth RAMBO, aptly named RAMBO, was pretty kick ass, it’s a safe bet this one will be too. Where’s Rambo going in this one, though? Back to Burma? Any thoughts?
