I wish I could watch RAMBO: LAST BLOOD, the fifth and apparently final installment in the RAMBO franchise, right now, but the fact is that we still have almost five months to wait before the movie reaches theatres. Thankfully, star Sylvester Stallone is doing his best to hold us over (while building our hype) with posts on his Instagram account.
Stallone has been sharing color-drained images from the film for a while, but a few hours ago he did something different: he shared a behind-the-scenes video that shows Rambo getting his hands on various weapons in the film. He is seen working on a project involving a pitchfork, sharpening a knife, firing a gun, launching an arrow from his bow… And I'm very anxious to see him using these weapons on deserving villains.
Directed by Adrian Grunberg from a script by Stallone and Matt Cirulnick, RAMBO: LAST BLOOD will find our hero John Rambo,
who has been working on a ranch, crossing the U.S./Mexico border to help find the kidnapped daughter of one of his close friends. He quickly finds himself up against the full might of one of Mexico’s most violent cartels.
Stallone is joined in the cast by Adriana Barraza as Rambo's friend Maria, Yvette Monreal as Maria's granddaughter Gabrielle, Sergio Peris-Mencheta as villainous cartel leader Hugo Martinez, Óscar Jaenada as Victor Martinez, Paz Vega as Carmen Delgado, "a reporter who covers the Mexican drug trade and teams up with Rambo after her younger half-sister is kidnapped", and Joaquin Cosio in an unspecified role.
RAMBO: LAST BLOOD is scheduled to be released on September 20th.
