Sylvester Stallone to make new 'Rambo' film

Sylvester Stallone is set to make a new 'Rambo' film - at the age of 58.

The Hollywood star says he is ready to reprise the famous role, and has already been in talks with movie producers about making a fourth instalment of the hugely popular series.

He said: "We're in the kitchen and we're cooking. I've had meetings about this and it looks good. We'll see what we can come up with."

It is now rumoured that filming on 'Rambo 4' could begin later this year, but as yet no details about the possible storyline have been released.

Stallone - whose mother Jackie recently starred in British reality TV show 'Celebrity Big Brother' with his ex-wife Brigitte Nielsen - is also working on a sixth 'Rocky' film.

The veteran actor, who starred in and wrote the five-film series, first shot to fame playing the boxer in the phenomenally successful movies, winning an Oscar for his performance in the first film.

Sylvester Stallone and wife Jennifer Flavin

HOLLYWOOD - Movie hardman Sylvester Stallone is making a fourth Rambo movie, 17 years after the last film was made.

The news comes shortly after Stallone announced plans for a sixth Rocky film in 2006.

Rambo IV will see former Vietnam veteran John J. Rambo retired into a quiet life until he gets involved in the case of a missing child.

The movie will be shot between Mexico and the United States.

Filming is scheduled to start in the spring.

I saw a preview for "Rocky Balboa" in the theater and had the same reaction (as did others), but I've read two articles about it saying it's a good movie and no, it's not an embarassment. On Ebert & Roeper it got two thumbs up too. So I'll see what Rotten Tomatoes has to say once it opens.

www.comingsoon.net has an interview with Stallone about Rambo IV - where he suggests that Rambo is a "complex and interesting character", and the new movie will be more "political in nature".

I guess you can't get more politically incorrect than Rambo...

I caught a bit of First Blood Part 2 the other day on AMC, which contained the following scene. Rambo, having escaped from being tortured by Stephen Berkoff and his rather striking Vinnie Jones look-alike gay lover, runs through a fully populated Vietnamese peasant village, which is then completely and utterly destroyed barely minutes later... by Rambo... surprisingly enough...

Then there was Rambo III - where one man is able to defeat an entire Soviet army battallion - while commenting that "he's no tourist" and being cheered on by the Mujah Hadeen.

I don't much like the Rocky films personally - even the originals weren't much cop. The boxing never really looked convincing - Stallone's stance and guard are completely unrealistic.

Reminds me of Chuck Norris in his "Walker, Texas Ranger" show...he got so old that it should have been called "Texas Ranger With A Walker".

He wasn't that great when he was younger..

Ever see Delta Force - features a scene where Norris manages to hide and fire a rocket launcher via the exhaust pipe of his dirt bike.

He's a bit more spry at least that Steven Seagal. That guy is terrible.

adriane is dead?

She's not dead; just too old to play opposite a 60 year old egotistic actor. Who's the new chickie? There's got to be a chickie

did you know that Walker Texas Ranger is one of the most popular TV shows every year in France? Something to remember when they start acting all culturally superior
