Sly asked The Wrestler star to be in his next Rambo film after meeting up at the Four Seasons Hotel in LA.
A source said: "It was weird seeing two movie tough guys sipping tea on the veranda. They chatted about the Oscars then Sly begged Mickey to sign for Rambo V. Mickey said he was up for it."
Mickey - who flew out of LA yesterday with his dog Jaws - is lined up to play the baddie in the film, due to be shot later this year.

Err
i don't get it man, in rambo films the badguys are always guerilla militias in one country or another, so how is rourke going to play a bad guy?
what, is rambo going to be taking on arms dealers who supply assault weapons to our inner-city youths?
i don't know, but i'm curious to find out.

I'd like to see Mickey as Bad guy. He would definitely bring depth and dimension. As far as it being a Rambo film, I'll just have to wait and see.

Departed Rourke was not offered the part on Rambo but a part in the next Rambo film. Better to keep posts to yourself and look stupid then to type and remove all doubt or some sh*t like that LOL

Despite what some say i would rather enjoy seeing Mickey Rouke as a bad guy in the next film. As long as the story is good. Like a old friend from Vietnam gone nuts. Or how about this. I came up with a plot idea for Leathal Weapon 5 years ago when they were rumors that they wanted another one and to kill riggs of and this is what i came up with. The plot and story is simple but believable. Its no secret in Nam their was alot of drug smuggeling going on by them and us And Riggs Company " Unit" found out about a American Special Forces team were also smuggeling it out and turned them in and they spent the rest of thier military career in military prision untill one day getting released and coming after Riggs. I think that storyline could work for Rambo 5. Because he was a specials forces soldier. I dont see how with the right touches it couldnt work. Opinions anyone?

CB your a moron. Rourke would make a terrible Rambo villain. Tsk, tsk, tsk. What else would you expect from someone who thought Benjamin Button was the best movie of the year.
