Okay, gonna make this one short and sweet – VERY sweet.
The other day I wrote an article about cukoo-crazy Lionsgate wanting to change the title of JOHN RAMBO to RAMBO TO HELL AND BACK. I thought it was silly, but I wasn’t completely appalled like some others. Anyway, over at Aint It Cool News, Harry – very happy to have Sylvester Stallone calling him – reports that the muscled-one himself was partially responsible for the title change – and may be responsible for changing it back to JOHN RAMBO.
Stallone said: “You know Lionsgate jumped the gun on this. I just was thinking that the title JOHN RAMBO was derivative of ROCKY BALBOA and might give people the idea that this is the last Rambo film, and I don’t necessarily feel that it will be. He’s not an athlete, there’s no reason he can’t continue onto another adventure. Like John Wayne with THE SEARCHERS.”
Harry apparently expressed his displeasure with calling it anything OTHER than JOHN RAMBO, and Stallone’s response is: “Alright, that’s the title. JOHN RAMBO.”
So more important than the title being changed back (for now), is the news that there’s a potential FIFTH Rambo picture in the works. Stallone doesn’t quit, does he? I’m just waiting for LOCK-UP 2 to be announced, and the circle will be complete.
