It’s been 37 years since actor and cinematic trailblazer Sylvester Stallone led the beefcake era of the 80s with Ted Kotcheff’s novel adaptation, First Blood, centered on a stoic war hero fresh from battle and a world of survivor’s guilt triggered by an unruly sheriff. Folks who saw those events unfold in the 1982 hit movie know the unyielding nightmare that ensued, unleashing the name John Rambo into commercial circuitry, and ultimately, household fandom with years of multimedia and merchandising in tow before bookending with a trilogy by 1988. Now, twenty years later and following a fourth outing from Stallone with Lionsgate taking the mantle from Orion and Tristar, it still appears that our titular walking one-man army still has a few more suckers to bring the receipts to with the impending release of Rambo: Last Blood. Past press reports have all but built a world of hype surrounding this […]
Following his departure from the Rocky films with Creed 2, fans now have a timetable to share with action star Sylvester Stallone for director Adrian Grunberg’s forthcoming franchise finale, Rambo: Last Blood. A September 20 release is now in tow from Lionsgate, and with that, the official logline for the long-awaited fifth and finale entry into the nearly four decade-old action saga about a stoic war hero torn between his resolve as a soldier and a man fighting for his own peace of mind. When the daughter of one of his friends is kidnapped, Rambo (Stallone) — who has been working on a ranch — crosses the U.S.-Mexico border and quickly finds himself up against the full might of one of Mexico’s most violent cartels. Also starring are Paz Vega, Sergio Peris-Mencheta, Yvette Monreal from a script by Stallone and screenwriter Matthew Cirulnick. Read more at The Wrap.
