“Rambo” gets “New Blood” remake without Sylvester Stallone

PanARMENIAN.Net - "Rambo" is officially getting a reboot. Despite previous chatters about Sylvester Stallone returning to the franchise, the upcoming remake called "Rambo: New Blood" is reportedly in the works without the original actor. Instead, a younger actor is expected to take over the iconic role, AceShowbiz reports.

Ariel Vromen is going to sit behind the lens for the new and improved John Rambo saga while Brooks McLaren is booked to write the script. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the project will be tackled in a manner akin to that of James Bond.

The "Rambo" franchise started in 1982 with "First Blood" based on David Morrell's novel of the same name. It was followed by three more movies with the last one led and co-directed by Sly Stallone in 2008. Last year, the actor tweeted about working on a follow-up called "Rambo: Last Blood".
