Yesterday came the surprising news that Entertainment One was co-developing with Avi Lerner and his Nu Image production company a Rambo TV Series. Stranger still, they apparently said that not only would star Sylvester Stallone consult the series about one of the two roles that made him the action icon of the 1980s, but that he would STAR in it to some capacity.
Well Stallone’s representatives have shot that down like it was a Soviet putz in Afghani airspace. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the source said, “Sylvester Stallone will certainly not reprise his role as the iconic John Rambo for the small screen.”
Talk about throwing some cold water over your Cambodian blindfold. Alas, someone else will have to step into the big boots that according to Hollywood won the Vietnam War and made Reagan’s press team reportedly giddy.
