Deadline reports that FOX has closed a development deal with
Sylvester Stallone to executive produce Rambo: New Blood, a television continuation of the long-running film series. The show would focus on Stallone’s John Rambo and his son J.R., described as an ex-Navy SEAL for the series, and will be written by Die Hard and The Fugitive screenwriter Jeb Stuart. Though unconfirmed, Stallone is expected to reprise his role as John Rambo.
Entertainment One and Avi Lerner’s Millennium Films will produce the series, which has put the previously-reported fifth film, Rambo: Last Blood, on hold.
