We reported on the news of a fifth Rambo feature last week, and it seems that the information, especially the plot info, was WAY off. To clear up the confusion, Stallone personally called Harry Knowles of AICN, and left him a voicemail. The trades had the plot of the film to be “Rambo fighting his way through human traffickers and drug lords to rescue a young girl abducted near the U.S.-Mexico border.” This was apparently pretty far from the truth. The actual plot for the film is this:

JOHN RAMBO could track anyone – or anything – on earth.  Now the MILITARY desperately needs him for a mission that his ultrasensitive instincts tell him he should refuse. A BEAST is loose somewhere north of the ARCTIC CIRCLE.  It has already decimated a secret research facility and annihilated a SQUAD of elite MILITARY GUARDS.  And the raging CREATURE is headed south toward civilization, ready to wreak bloody devastation.

It’s a job that RAMBO and his 22 year old hunting partner, BEAU BRADY, can’t turn down, but they and a TEAM of highly skilled SPECIAL FORCES KILL TEAM discover that the prey is a terror beyond their wildest imagination, a half-human abomination created by a renegade agency through a series of outlawed genetic experiments.  It has man’s cunning, a predator’s savageness, and a prehistoric power that has transcended the ages.  And even if RAMBO and BEAU survive its unrelenting hunger for human blood, they’ll still have to confront the grim reality that it may have grown immortal.

Sounds a little out there to me but you can’t say it doesn’t at least sound better than the first plot, which was overly familiar. It’ll mark the first time the Rambo films have ventured into the sci-fi realm, and I, for one, can’t wait to see what Sly comes up with for the creature design. The film also got a title, Rambo V: The Savage Hunt, as well as a concept poster (below).

What’s your take on John Rambo going into the sci-fi arena?
