Sylvester Stallone drops sci-fi angle for ‘Rambo V’
Stallone sends email clarifying plot of ‘Rambo 5′
Looks like Sylvester Stallone has terminated plans to take Rambo into science fiction.
The 63-year-old revealed this past summer that the next Rambo movie, A Savage Hunt, would feature John Rambo leading a squad into a secret military base to shut down a man-beast mutant “supersoldier” project gone wrong.
The sci-fi plot was based on the novel Hunter by James Byron Higgins. Stallone owns the rights to the book and now plans to use it as source material for another project.
“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,” Stallone wrote in an email.
Rambo heading to Mexico was the first rumored story for the film.
Stallone’s next film, The Expendables, opens in theaters in August.

[...] The good news is that Rambo V will no longer have Rambo going all sci-fi and taking down a mutant supersoldier. The bad news is there’s going to be a Rambo 5. [...]
