It does sound a bit confusing, I know. Sylvester Stallone is going to write and direct the next Rambo piece – that’s Rambo 4.
The plot is still not known but rumor has it that it’s about a kidnapped girl and a Vietnam vet who saves her. Stallone tried to sign up Ridley Scott or Renny Harlin but apparently they seem to shun the Rambo sequel.
Truth be told, I liked the first Rambo (First Blood). I loved Robinson Crusoe as a kid, so anything the reminds me of that (DIY tools and weapons) gets a nod. Another reason was the director – Ted Kotcheff, a Toronto-born son of Bulgarian immigrants. It was the only “Slavic” name in the biz.
hmm, what’s wrong with this list:
ridley scott
renny harlin
wait a minute…stop right there. renny harlin? people are still willing to *pay* this guy to direct?
and since you can’t get scott or harlin, the next top choice is…stallone? *sigh*
