Despite all it’s off camera drama, it appears things with the new Rambo movie are still moving forward with the recent new that Matt Marsden (Black Hawk Down, Anacondas 2) has joined up to play some sort of mercenary along side Sylvester Stallone. The good folks over at MovieHole give us this little bit of info:
British chap Matt Marsden will join Sylvester Stallone for “Rambo IV”, says Variety The sometime-actor sometime-singer will play a mercenary in the film, says the trade. Interestingly enough, “Lost” star Matthew Fox was rumoured to be up for the same role about twelve months back. Guess they were aiming a tad too high, there?…. or something.
I still believe this whole movie is a terrible idea. I just don’t see how anything good can come of it. Keep in mind that I LOVED the Rambo films when I was a kid, but this just seems like pushing it way too far.
Now, having said that, I need to admit that I thought the exact same thing (but maybe not quite as bad) about the most recent Rocky movie, and I ended up just loving that film. So who’s to say right? Still, I just get a nasty feeling in my gut whenever this new Rambo movie is mentioned. Come on Sylvester, you scored with Rocky 6… just accept victory and move on… leave Rambo in peace.
