Rambo Pulled Out of Retirement

Its time for the good old red bandana again, because Sylvester Stallone is back! The talented actor will write, produce and direct in the fourth sequel of the Rambo series and once again assume the role of Vietnam veteran John Rambo. It`s been a while since Rambo drew first blood in his 1982 hit, but fans are looking forward to two more hours of action packed Stallone.

In the upcoming film, Rambo will be hired by a group of Christian human rights missionaries to protect them against pirates while delivering humanitarian aid to the Karen people of Burma. As you may expect, things go wrong and when the missionaries are taken prisoner by Burmese soldiers, Rambo enlists the help of a team of mercenaries to rescue the surviving relief workers. Sources have revealed that most likely some people will die in the process, by a variety of different weapons.

The fourth installment has been officially titled `Rambo IV: In The Serpent`s Eye` and will begin filming in January of next year in Thailand, after a minor postponement due to the military coup which took place in the film`s filming location, last month.
