Rambo VS. Osama: Stallone Script in Works
NY Post
It's Rambo to the rescue. Sylvester Stallone plans to resurrect his
famed macho action hero to take on the Taliban. Stallone, 55, is at his
Miami home working on the script for a fourth film featuring former
Green Beret John Rambo, London's Sunday Times reports. In the new story,
Rambo parachutes into Afghanistan to battle leaders of the Taliban. One
report says Stallone is toying with the idea of his character capturing
terror chief Osama bin Laden alive. Stallone couldn't be reached for
comment yesterday. But it wouldn't be the first time Stallone's hero has
gone marching with guns blazing into Afghanistan. In his last Rambo
flick, the brawny fighter went behind Soviet battle lines to rescue his
former superior. In that 1988 film, "Rambo III," Sly joined Afghan
fighters to oppose the Russian invaders. Earlier this year, Stallone
said he had mixed feelings about coming back 13 years later for one more
Rambo go-round. "I don't know if I'd look good in a thong anymore. In
my fantasies, I'd love to do one more, but I don't think it would be in
good taste at this age," he said in an interview. But his feelings have
apparently changed since the attacks of Sept. 11. Bob Weinstein of
Miramax Films said last March that he hoped to convince Stallone to do
one more Rambo movie. "We'd love nothing more than for Stallone to be
involved. We think it's a billion-dollar property," Weinstein said. If
"Rambo IV" goes before cameras before the end of the year, it could be
ready by next summer. Stallone's "Rambo" series began in 1982 with
"First Blood" and gave rise to two more action movies in which the
fearless one-man army kicked the villains' butts. His three "Rambo"
films and five "Rocky" movies have grossed more than $2 billion
combined.
