On Friday, September 4th, Harry @ AICN posted about a conversation he had with Sly about the plot of the next Rambo movie. Tentaively titled, “Rambo V: The Savage Hunt,” the story follows Rambo, who is brought to the Pacific Northwest to lead a Black Ops team, as they hunt down a genetically enhanced soldier created in a secret muilitary project. Although Sly is still working on the story, it’s obvious that he’s ready to take Rambo in a new an unexpected direction.
Later Harry updated the report with a voice message from Sly himself [which you can hear] talking about his plans for Rambo. You can read and hear the report here.
I like the new direction that Sly is leading Rambo. Almost reminds me of the plot of Hunter (which I would still like to see Sly do). I also like the proposed title for the film, but I would drop the “V” and just call it “Rambo: The Savage Hunt.”
