Report: Lionsgate confirmed “Rambo V” will be in the works, and will be written/directed by Stallone…

While this article at the Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Alli Shearmur has left Paramount and she has landed a job to take Lionsgate in the lead as the companies president and boss…the article also says that Lionsgate has Rambo V confirmed with Sylvester Stallone on board to write, direct and star in again.

Quote from the article:

“On the development horizon are “Warrior,” which Gavin O’Connor co-wrote and will direct; “Conan,” a fast-tracked project with multiple scripts in the works; “Severance Package,” with Brett Simon writing and directing; “Rambo V,” to be written and directed by Sylvester Stallone; “Korean Wedding” from writer Jason Filardi; and “Kane & Lynch,” a video game adaptation that will star Bruce Willis.”

Lionsgate has been confirming Rambo V for a long while now, but Sly Stallone himself has been pretty quiet about it lately. If Lionsgate keeps confirming it, then I guess it’s true.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Sly starts working on Rambo V next because he needs to before he gets too old. I’m glad he’s doing another Rambo.

Rambo IV did leave open for another movie as I would like some answers to the strange ending at the end of Rambo IV.

I hope Sly writes a good plot for Rambo V, he did an amazing job with Rambo IV, I’m sure he won’t dissapoint in V also. Maybe this is why Sly is taking another break from movies ’cause he’s writing a script for the next Rambo, who knows.
