If you're a fan of action-packed films, you'll be thrilled to hear that Rambo is making a comeback with a prequel in the works. Directed by Jalmari Helander, known for his work in "Big Game," this new project titled "John Rambo" is being launched by Millennium Media at the prestigious Cannes market. This event is where upcoming films seek funding or distribution partners, and Millennium Media, famous for franchises like "The Expendables" and "Has Fallen," is no stranger to successful ventures.
While details about "John Rambo" remain scarce, it's confirmed that the film will be set during the Vietnam War, serving as a prequel to the iconic "First Blood" released in 1982. Although no final casting decisions have been made, original Rambo star Sylvester Stallone is aware of the project but isn't involved yet. The screenplay is crafted by Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani, renowned for their work on "The Mauritanian" and "Black Adam," with filming scheduled to commence in Thailand starting October.
Jalmari Helander's recent success with the WWII action film "Sisu," which transformed John Wick into a seasoned Finnish commando battling Nazis, suggests he's well-equipped for this challenging endeavor. As the anticipation builds, fans worldwide eagerly await more updates on this highly anticipated prequel.
