Rambo fans, brace yourselves! A thrilling prequel titled "John Rambo" is in the works, helmed by the visionary director Jalmari Helander, known for his action-packed films "Sisu" and "Big Game." According to Deadline, Millennium Media, the powerhouse behind hits like the Expendables and Has Fallen series, is set to unveil this new project at the prestigious Cannes market during the Cannes Film Festival. This market is where filmmakers showcase their upcoming projects to secure funding and distribution partners, and "John Rambo" is poised to make a significant impact.
While details about the plot remain under wraps, "John Rambo" promises to take us back to the Vietnam War, serving as a prequel to the iconic 1982 film "First Blood." As of now, no casting decisions have been finalized, and although Sylvester Stallone, the original Rambo, is aware of the project, he is not currently involved.
The screenplay for "John Rambo" has been crafted by the talented duo Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani, known for their work on "The Mauritanian" and "Black Adam." Production is slated to kick off in Thailand in October, promising an authentic setting for the Vietnam-era story.
Helander's recent success with the WWII action film "Sisu," which transformed the concept of John Wick into an elderly Finnish commando battling Nazis, showcases his capability to handle intense, action-driven narratives. This makes him an exciting choice to breathe new life into the Rambo franchise with this prequel.
