LOS ANGELES - Rambo is back in business. Sylvester Stallone will reprise his role as gun-toting John Rambo in the upcoming "Rambo IV," said Ben Nedivi of Millennium Films, which is producing the project with Emmett/Furla Films.

The 59-year-old Stallone also intends to bring boxer Rocky Balboa out of retirement. He will write and direct "Rocky Balboa," the sixth film in that franchise, with shooting set to begin next year.

Nedivi said the $50 million "Rambo IV" will recapture the rawness of "First Blood," which launched the franchise in 1982.

Production is set to begin after "Rocky Balboa" wraps.

Michelle Bega, a spokeswoman for Stallone, said the actor wasn't available for comment Friday.

A new "Rambo" script hasn't yet been written, but the story calls for the reclusive Vietnam veteran to return to his vigilante ways when a young girl is kidnapped.

The first three films grossed a combined $614 million worldwide.

wow!! not only is Rocky Balboa gonna be fighting with his walker, Rambo gonna come out from the mountains with his cane and his M-16 ready for action!!!

Both ideas are a bit retarded and make me wonder how someone quite intelligent like Stallone can come up with shit like this, BUT it makes much more sense to shoot another Rambo flick than to make another Rocky movie....a 60 year old boxer is just ridiculous...a 60 year old veteran is at least a little bit more credible.He should´ve done some more Rambo movies earlier in his career, instead of doing all those Rocky sequels.

Wow, work has got to be extremly slow for him to bring Rocky AND Rambo back. He needs to leave the past behind.

How about the sequel everyone has been dying for..."Cobra 2"!

"Oscar II"

"Judge Dredd II"

"You Didn't Stop! So My Mom Will Shoot Again!"
