There's a Rambo reboot running right at you. The Hollywood Reporter says the project is called Rambo: New Blood and will not feature Sylvester Stallone, but rather a younger actor assuming the titular role. "The company is looking at Rambo as a character akin to James Bond," the magazine writes.

The well-known action series kicked off in 1982 with First Blood; the hilariously titled sequel, Rambo: First Blood Part II, hit in '85, followed by a third installment in '88. In 2008, Stallone returned to the role once again in...wait for it...keep waiting...it's gonna be worth it...Rambo.

The reboot will come from Israeli director Ariel Vroman, who helmed this year's Criminal, starring the murderers' row of Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot, Kevin Costner, Gary Oldman and Tommy Lee Jones. He also did the Michael Shannon serial killer flick The Iceman. First-time screenwriter Brooks McLaren is handling the script. Good luck, everyone.

I don't know if this is gonna work, the original was such a classic action film.

Goes to show Hollywood has ran out of ideas

If they ever remake/reboot The Breakfast Club, all hell will definitely break loose.

Same if they ever remake/reboot The Godfather.

Will it be racist like the last one? I did like that scene where he used the knife on the government puke.

The evil Vietnamese scum torturing and raping. Rambo's loving cutting of their throats. The stupid Russia bashing.

Hope they don't remake Cobra. What an evil piece of shit.

There were no Vietnamese in the last Rambo movie. It was set in Burma. And all the movie did was highlight the actual horrible things that happen there. Rambo may have gone overboard in his violent killing of the soldiers but that's who the character is. Rambo is not written as a heroic character. He's severely damaged from his time in the war. The first movie (and the book it's adapted from) make it clear that he needs psychiatric help. He never got it though and over the years he's gotten progressively worse. He deals out the punishments that fit the crime. Remember that scene where he rips the child molester's throat out with his bare hands? The worse the villain, the more violent the death. Though there were no Russians in the last Rambo movie either so I think you may be mixing it up with the 3rd movie. Which wasn't racist either, by the way.

Exactly.

It was a right wing Reagan loving film.

Again, I assume you mean the third movie as opposed to the last one. But like I said in my previous post, Rambo is more anti hero than hero. He's only portrayed as "good" because he's not the one starting the fights he finds himself in. But he's severely damaged. His mind is gone. All he knows is killing. No sane individual will look at a Rambo movie and say "that's the way to handle things". The character is nuts. Besides, with Rambo 3 and Rocky 4, Sly basically won the Cold War single handedly.

If one really wants to get insight on the Rambo character you have to watch Rambo: First Blood to begin with.

Right wingers are not the only people that likes action films.

Not quite! Chuck Norris protected the mainland in Invasion USA.

I know we're all tired of Reboots but I'm a Rambo Fan and this could work if the script is do'able and the action is HIGH...The Studio can cast an unknown and they should give it a july 4th weekend release date....I'm in if they plan to invest Big Bucks on the location and special effects...

I'm sick over this... I really hope it falls through like previous attempts to do a "Rambo" without Sly.

.

After years of hearing about a possible fifth film starring/directed/written by Sly, I saw this news and my first thought literally was "FUCK THE WORLD"
