Stallone Says Rambo Prequel "Worth Pondering"

POSTED BY Jame Gumb | FRIDAY JULY 30 AT 4:33 PDT 

While Sylvester Stallone may have ruled out Rambo V, he certainly hasn't ruled out another film involving the iconic character. In an interview with Empire, Stallone left the door for a prequel wide open.

"I certainly think this is worth pondering," was his response. "It's intriguing to find the whys and wherefores of how peope have become what they are. The traumas, the loss and the tragedy of being in Vietnam would certainly be a great challenge for a young actor, and it would be ironic that Rambo directs younger Rambo having played it for twenty years plus..."

I, for one, would love to see Rambo's backstory developed into a feature-length film. But in order to get people interested, there has to be a twist. For example, what if Rambo's psychotic tendencies stemmed not from his service in Vietnam, but rather from an ill-fated childhood field-trip to J. Edger Hoovers' office?

    ummmm.... this wasn't for Empire. He answered it on a Q&A at aintitcool.com, and Empire just repeated it..

    Hopefully they'll go with Sly's secrect child; Milo Ventimiglia who played a good Rocky's son in Balboa.

    Or they could also go with Amy Winehouse, for obvious reasons:
    she's already got the veiny arms,
    I suspect her of being a man now
    And she'd have no trouble playing a messed up son of a bitch.

    :D
