NEWS FLASH

Rambo coming out of retirement

The red bandanna and the hunter's knife are back: Sylvester Stallone is set to reprise his role as Vietnam vet John Rambo, 17 years after his last outing.
Miramax/Dimension Films have sold Rambo IV's movie rights to a different production company, clearing the way for filming to start next January in Bulgaria, India and the US.

Stallone, now 58, will don combat trousers for a fourth time, this time to slug it out against American white supremacists bent on killing his wife and daughter. In the new film, the grunting killing machine has turned middle-class family man and has "assimilated into the tapestry of America," according Stallone, who is also the movie's scriptwriter. He promises a film in the vein of Straw Dogs and Deliverance.

Since he was last seen taking on the Soviet army alongside Afghan mujihadeen in Rambo III, our hero has continued toiling for the American military. However, workplace stress has forced him to leave the big city for a quiet, rural life. Unfortunately, local racists dislike the fact that a part-Navajo man has moved into their area, and so kidnap Rambo's 10-year-old daughter, forcing dad to set up a rescue operation.
If Rambo IV is successful, there could even be more Rambo films in the pipeline. "It's a franchise," said Avi Lerner, chairman of studio Nu Image/Millennium Films, "If No. 4 works, then you have a No. 5."

In a statement, Stallone said: "I've signed the deal and I have the old headband, machine gun and bow and arrow ready to go. I am looking forward to showing movie fans the real action hero again."

The Rocky star is keeping himself busy these days. Last week, it was announced that he would write and direct a biopic of the American writer Edgar Allan Poe. He is also due to shoot a film based on his own screenplay about the murders of rap stars Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G.
