Sylvester Stallone announced he would once again return to the Rambo franchise for at least one more appearance, but the plot had the fans all puzzled. Rambo was going to be stepping into the world of borderline supernatural having him hunt down a genetically altered man beast in the artic.
Well this news made me happy, as Sly announces a new plot for Rambo that is more in line with the franchise.
“I’m letting you know that Rambo has changed course and the story about hunting the man/beast will be done using another character in the lead. ‘Rambo’ himself will be heading over the border to a violent city where many young women have vanished. There will be blood.”
So the man beast story, which was based on the James Huggins novel Hunter, will be getting a pure adaptation from novel to screen and will not be used as the basis for Rambo.
That’s a much better plan.
