New Delhi:
Remember the much popular Rambo series starring Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone in the lead? Well, the franchise was touted to be one of the biggest action flicks and Stallone became the action star.
According to the media reports, the Rambo franchise is coming back with its fifth installment and will have Sylvester Stallone reprising the role of John Rambo.
The reports suggest that in the fifth installment, Stallone will be seen living on a ranch in Arizona, deeply troubled and wrestling with PTSD as he picks up casual work wherever he can.
When a longtime family friend and estate manager Maria informs the former soldier that her granddaughter has gone missing after crossing into Mexico for a party, he sets off with her to find the youngster.
In pursuit, Rambo uncovers a sex-trafficking ring and teams up with a journalist whose half-sister has also been kidnapped. He must deploy all his skills to save the girls and bring down a vicious crime lord.
While the makers are yet to zero-in a director for the movie, the production of Rambo V is likely to begin in the first week of September and will be shot at locations such as London, Bulgaria and the Canary Islands.
The fifth installment in the 36-year franchise will be brought to Cannes this week by Millennium Media, Screen Daily reported.
Avi Lerner and Kevin King are attached as producers, with Matt Cirulnick writing the screenplay.
The previous films in which Stallone played Rambo consist of "First Blood", "Rambo: First Blood Part II", "Rambo III" and "Rambo".
