Sylvester Stallone recently dropped some new information about his upcoming fifth installment of the John Rambo series
Rambo V: A Savage Hunt to
AICN, the first item being the new title. He also said that the film will indeed take place in the United States, but that it will be structured differently from the sequels we've seen in the past.
According to Stallone himself,
Rambo V: A Savage Hunt will take place in the Pacific Northwest, in the general area where
First Blood took place. Rambo will come in contact with a secret U.S. Military instillation that is conducting SAVAGERY experiments on soliders. Their plan is to create brilliant, instinctual killer soldiers that have no qualms about killing other men in combat. In Sly's conversation with
AICN, he brought up the ancient Immortals, a group of children that were raised to kill since birth.
The story has the experiments working out for the military, until one of the killers becomes unstoppable and sets off on a rampage. John Rambo is brought in as part of a Black Ops Squad to capture and kill this "worse than Rambo" soldier.
AICN also has an image of the 1-Sheet that Sly will be bringing to the Toronto Film Festival, which you can check out below:

and well to stay on topic, here are some more Rambo plot details, the official Synopsis word by word out of Stallone's mouth.
AND OFFICIAL DETAILS ON RAMBO 6
Official "Rambo 5" synopsis: 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 confront the grim reality that it may have grown immortal.
Also within the article Stallone confirms a Rambo 6, slated it will be the finale, in the saga and be based upon James Byron Higgins 'Hunter' Novel
The economic crisis is out of control.. but then I guess, This is how peope stay in business in Hollywood......by making shit!!

Meant Smallville "thread".
"In case anyone wants to know, Here's the news about the next Rambo movie. I don't care for the Sci-Fi aspect of it. Sounds too fantastical for me."
"Rambo 5 sounds like it'll be more of a direct sequel to "First Blood" (1982) than any of the over-the-top sequels were. According to Aint it Cool News, the film will see the muscly Vet return to the misty greens of America's Northwest - the same terrain portly Brian Dennehy hunted him down in in the original film.
The tentative title (it'll change - the last "Rambo" went through about five different titles before Sly, and Lionsgate, decided on a keeper) for the new film is "Rambo V : The Savage Hunt". In it, "....there is a U.S. Military installation that is doing experiments on elite soldiers as part of some sort of program where they're attempting to tap into that SAVAGERY that we have deeply embedded into us. The plan is create brilliantly instinctual killer soldiers that have no qualms about taking life. Sly brought up the ancient Immortals, which were cartoonishly glimpsed in 300. In reality, they were children trained from the time they were infants to kill", says the site. "Well as happens with Government Experiments to create the perfect killer - it goes exceptionally well... and then exceptionally badly. And Rambo is brought in with a Black Ops squad ("Like in PREDATOR") to hunt, capture or kill this worse than Rambo killer."
"The film, which Stallone's convinced (or intending to be) will be the last "Rambo" film, is in the early stages of development says the site."
Looks like Rambo is taking the "Crystal Skull" route. Too bad. Another series changing genres despite it's fans wishes. What's Stallone thinking? Maybe that Jintropin finally got to his brain.
The poster looks pretty interesting... A little lame-ish, but it works for being this early in the production process. I do really like the title... It's just badass enough for the "First Blood" series. Lol.
It would make a great crossover.
Let me guess, John Rambo is a part of the Project ! His blood has been used in the past to create the super soldiers, am I right ?
