 Watch outOsama, John Rambo is headed your way.
Sylvester Stallone may bring his one-man army out of retirement and send him back into Afghanistan 13 years after his last mission, London's Sunday Times reports.
As you may recall in 1988's Rambo III, our hero joined Afghan fighters to oppose Russian invaiders. Stallone'salter egoslipped behind Soviet lines to rescue his formerGreen Beretcommander.
In the new movie, Rambo will kick some Talibanbutt, several sources report. Stallone is in Miami, reportedly working on thescript. The movie, presumably Rambo IV couldgo before the camerasbefore the end of the year for a release next summer.
Stallone, 55, might be getting a little old for action movies. But don't be tricked byinsurmountable odds. Remember in Rocky III when Mr. T's Clubber Lang said of the aging champ, "I pity the fool."
In the originalflick, 1982's First Blood, Rambo, aVietnam vet disenchantedwith his country, gets harassed in a small town by local law enforcement. When a small town sheriff tortures him in jail, heunleashes hell.
In the first sequel, he returns to Vietnam to rescue a band ofall-but-forgottenprisoners of war.
The Rocky and Rambo series havegrossedmore than billion.
