Washington, Oct 9: Hollywood action star Sylvester Stallone is all set to reprise his role of Vietnam veteran John Rambo, in the third sequel of the Rambo franchise.
The Rocky star will also produce and direct the film based on his own script titled, Rambo IV: In The Serpent’s Eye.
According to Production Weekly, the latest movie finds Rambo being recruited by a group of Christian human rights missionaries to protect them against pirates while delivering humanitarian aid to the persecuted Karen people of Burma.
After some of the missionaries are taken prisoner by sadistic Burmese soldiers, Rambo gets a second impossible job: to assemble a team of mercenaries to rescue the surviving relief workers.
Rambo 4 starts shooting in Thailand in January.
Meanwhile, Stallone will also be reprising his role as legendary boxing champion Rocky Balboa in the new film Rocky Balboa. His character in the movie had retired long back, but is drawn back to the boxing ring one last time. (ANI)
