First Blood Re-Release

Fuckin’ right! it appears that Rambo First Blood will be re-released for a limited run in theaters! We get this kick ass news thanks to our good friends at slashfilm:

On May 15th, Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo will die for the first time on the big screen in 430-plus theaters around the country. Yes, 1982’s First Blood will have a digitally re-mastered one-off showing complete with the alternative ending that, in a parallel dimension, left no sequels…and probably no Slashfilm. I kid. Included in the screening is a special “never before seen” interview with Stallone in which he’ll extend his arms countless times to emphasize the film’s “epic” creation and grin somewhat painfully while reminiscing, I imagine. We’ve pasted all gazillion of the participating theaters after the jump because we like ya. And click here for more info.

I loathe the amount of remakes that are coming down the pipe; just like all of you. For quite some time I have been pleading with the winds that they re-release the films as an alternate option, so it brings me great joy to see them test the waters with a limited theatrical re-release of First Blood.

If the numbers are good, I sincerely hope that we will see more classics re-released rather than being remade into shitty films. There are scads of beloved classic films that could stand a rerelease; I welcome this news and hope First Blood starts a trend!

International friends – what films would you like to see re-released?
