This Friday, we will finally see the return of Sylvester Stallone as John Rambo in director Adrian Grunberg's RAMBO: LAST BLOOD. Yesterday, we shared a new "relentlessly savage" red band trailer for the film, and today we have word from Stallone himself that he really wants to see John Rambo hit the screen again one of these days in a RAMBO prequel.
Stallone says:
I always thought of Rambo when he was 16 or 17 – I hope they can do the prequel – he was the best person you could find. He was the captain of the team; he was the most popular kid in school; super athlete. He was like Jim Thorpe, and the war is what changed him. If you saw him before, he was like the perfect guy.
RAMBO meets THE BREAKFAST CLUB? I'm there! C'mon, Hollywood, make this happen!
In the meantime, we still have RAMBO: LAST BLOOD to look forward to. The MPAA recently slapped the film with an R-rating for strong graphic violence, grisly images, drug use, and language. Sounds good to me! The new RAMBO movie is all set to snag an opening weekend of $20 million. That sounds about right to this guy. So let me ask you while I have you here, do YOU plan on seeing LAST BLOOD this weekend? Let us know below!
RAMBO: LAST BLOOD sees:
Vietnam vet John Rambo take on the Mexican drug cartels after the daughter of one of his friends is kidnapped.
Avi Lerner’s Millennium is behind the film, which is directed by Adrian Grunberg (GET THE GRINGO) from a screenplay by Matthew Cirulnick (PAID IN FULL). Kevin King Templeton and Les Weldon are producing, with Lerner, Trevor Short, and Boaz Davidson exec producing. Stallone's costars include 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 Yvette Monreal is taking on the role of the younger half-sister in question. It will hit theaters in wide release via Lionsgate THIS FRIDAY.
