Sylvester Stallone just can’t stop revisiting past glories. Not content with getting Rocky Balboa (AKA Rocky 6) into production, he’s finally sealed a deal to bring grizzled warrior John J. Rambo back.
A group of small companies, including Millennium Films are stumping up $50 million to make Rambo IV with Stallone starring. But the film, which has been in development hell for years, still doesn’t have a finished script or director attached at the moment, but the plot concerns John Rambo living a quiet life as a recluse in the U.S. -- until a young girl goes missing, and he returns to macho form and takes justice into his own hands. The film will be shot in the US and Mexico.
