9 Insanely Ambitious Upcoming Movies You Won't Believe
5. A Bollywood Remake Of Rambo WITHOUT Slyvester Stallone
Sylvester Stallone has and always will be synonymous with John J. Rambo. The man has retained the role for 37 years (!) and his entries have ranged from the outstanding (First Blood, 1982) to the down-right barbaric (Rambo, 2008) .
We are on the cusp of Sly hanging up his machine gun for good in 2019 with his last outing, the aptly named, Last Blood and with that we can celebrate the retirement of one of Hollywood's truly great action heroes.
Not so fast.
Bollywood smelt cash in the water when director, Siddharth Anand, decided to come aboard and cast the hulking Tiger Shroff as his titular lead. The film is currently entering its pre-production stage and will be filmed in India and various other countries. When will it hit screens? Next year.
Yes, that's right. One year after Rambo leaves our screens forever, he'll be back and better than ever.
It's a bold move by Impact Films and one that could take advantage of the character's resurgence into the limelight, or it could be a victim of the over-saturation of a beloved hero.
Did you really expect a premise as outlandishly brilliant as a one man army taking down a face-less enemy to go down so easily?
