Sylvester Stallone Announces Plans For Rambo 5: Movie To Be About 'The whole Mexican Situation' [PHOTO]

Do you remember a time when a movie could just be good, and not have six sequels that completely ruin it? No, well neither does Sylvester Stallone. Stallone has told MTV, that he is pursuing a fifth and final Rambo movie. The real question is if there is any money in it.

Splendid film announced a press release saying, "With Rambo 5 Sylvester Stallone returns in his iconic role. This time he goes up against a Mexican cartel. Stallone, who has also written the screenplay, describes the new Rambo as his version of No Country for Old Men. Like the last film, Rambo V is produced by Avi Lerner (The Expendables 1-3)"

Sylvester Stallone said,"I know there is [another story to tell]. It's one thing where you lay down the final culmination of your life where you can articulate it, but also act on it where [Rambo] realizes what his destiny really is. It's not to be a farmer, it's not to be obscure; it's to go out in a blaze of glory in a heroic fashion. But is he really doing it for himself or is he going it because that's just his id? That's who he is."

Stallone has since taken complete control over John Rambo from David Morrell, the writer of "First Blood." Stallone's Rambo not only lives, but he goes on to become a mascot for the armed forces, a complete 180 from what he represented in that original film. 

The idea behind the movie is that Rambo will die somehow, in a neo- Western kind of movie.

"I like the whole Mexican situation, what's going on down there. So I'm working on a formula for it right now." Stallone said.

Some critics are questioning the reasons behind this project, Cinemablend, says, "Regardless, a fifth Rambo makes just as much sense as a fifth Terminator or a fifthDie Hard, so why stop now? It's all mirrors, this endless sense of reflection these cinematic heroes pursue. A vain desire to see themselves continue to produce the same heroics, continue to exist in the halcyon days of the past when they towered over bad guys and fired the biggest guns. Stuff like Rambo (which Stallone wrote, directed and starred in) feel more like extra-expensive home movies, utilizing several bits of footage from earlier films and re-asserting the strengths and abilities of these heroes from yesterday."
