Sylvester Stallone to Return to Iconic RAMBO Role?

According to Filmfutter.com, Splendid Film has acquired the rights to an all-new installment of RAMBO. A press release from the studio last week revealed the news that Sylvester Stallone himself will once again return to portray the iconic character.

The release reads (translation courtesy of Comingsoon.net):

"With 'Rambo V' Sylvester Stallone returns in his iconic role. This time he goes up against a Mexican cartel. Stallone, who has also written the screenplay, describes the new Rambo as his version of 'No Country for Old Men.' Like the last film, 'Rambo V' is produced by Avi Lerner ("The Expendables 1-3")

Stallone wrote, starred in and directed 2008's most recent adventures of John Rambo. The film took in $113.2 million worldwide and was produced on a mere $50 million budget. In 2009, a synopsis for a fifth film was issued which seemed as if Stallone would adapt James Byron Huggins' novel "Hunter" as the basis of the plot. The synopsis is as follows:

John Rambo could track anyone - or anything - on earth. Now the military desperately needs him for a mission that his ultrasensitive instincts tell him he should refuse. A beast is loose somewhere north of the Artic Circle. It has already decimated a secret research facility and annihilated a squad of elite military guards. And the raging creature is headed south toward civilization, ready to wreak bloody devastation.

It's a job that Rambo and his 22-year-old hunting partner, Beau Brady, can't turn down, but they and a team of highly-skilled Special Forces kill team discover that The Prey is a terror beyond their wildest imagination - a half-human abomination created by a renegade agency through a series of outlawed genetic experiments. It has man's cunning, a predator's savageness, and a prehistoric power that has transcended the ages. And even if Rambo and Beau survive its unrelenting hunger for human blood, they'll still have to contront the grim reality that it may have grown immortal.

Would you like to see Sylvester Stallone portray this iconic character once again, or is it time to pass the baton to a younger version of the iconic warrior?
