NEWS | Do us all a favour and retire!

60-year old Sylvester Stallone has just finished with Rocky Balboa – that’s right, in case you’ve been living under a rock, Stallone has reprised his role and done one more movie – but wait, theirs more - not wating any of his once great franchises to miss out, Rambo 4 is now in the works.

Rambo IV: In The Servant’s Eye goes a little like this…
"The next chapter finds Rambo recruited by a group of Christian human rights missionaries to protect them against pirates, during a humanitarian aid deliver to the persecuted Karen people of Burma. After some of the missionaries are taken prisoner by sadistic Burmese soldiers, Rambo gets a second impossible job: to assemble a team of mercenaries to rescue the surviving relief workers."

And how does one come up with such a lame plot in an effort to extend the life of a lame franchise? Well it’s Stallone all the way. And when we say all the way we mean all the way. Stallone will produce and direct the film based on his own screenplay, with production tentatively slated to begin shooting in January of 2007 in Thailand.

Someone get me a rock to hide under, please!

Little known fact | In the book on which the original Rambo movie, First Blood, was based, John Rambo actually dies. Oh if only the movie had gone the same way…
