Sly Stallone seems to be getting busier with age. It's like he's finally figured out what movies have always worked for him and isn't straying far from that model. So far he's brought back his two most iconic characters with the films Rocky Balboa and Rambo. And ofcourse he's just finished production of the greatest action film yet to be seen, The Expendables. Now Stallone has officially signed on to both write and direct the fifth installment of the Rambo series, according to Variety.
The film's storyline is already set in place, detailing Rambo's quest to rescue a girl who's been kidnapped by human traffickers along the US/Mexico border. Shooting on the film is set to begin in Spring of next year.
At this point I'm all for anything Stallone wants to do. Rambo, while not a great film, was certainly entertaining and I thought Rocky Balboa was one of his most poignant performances. The plot for this Rambo seems like a bit of a departure, so I'll be interested to see how it pans out.
