John Rambo (2008) - Sylvester Stallone

Depois de Rocky Balboa, Rambo's back in action:

Sylvester Stallone means to bring back his two most famous characters over the next twelve months. Having completed work on Rocky Balboa, which is due out this winter, the ageing action hero will direct and star in Rambo IV for release in summer 2007.

Rambo was one of the iconic film characters of the 1980s. Conceived as a psychotic anti-hero by author David Morrell in the novel First Blood, he was turned by Stallone into a misunderstood hero in the 1982 film adaptation, in which Rambo was the target of a manhunt in his home country.

The movie was a hit and it spawned a phenomenally successful 1985 sequel, Rambo: First Blood Part II in which Rambo returned to Vietnam to rescue prisoners of war. There was a backlash against the film's over the top comic book action and Commie-bashing politics but Stallone ignored the criticism and made 1988's Rambo III bigger, more spectacular and even more anti-Communist (the plot had Rambo fighting the Russians in Afghanistan... alongside the forerunners of the Taliban!). However, the result was less entertaining than its predecessors and audiences had moved on to more sophisticated action films like Lethal Weapon and Die Hard - Rambo III was an expensive disappointment.

Arriving eighteen years later, the fourth installment will go back to the series' grittier roots - like First Blood, it's a tough adventure movie set at home in America. The plot will involve John Rambo being forced to come out of retirement when his daughter goes missing.

The cast also includes James Brolin (The Amityville Horror), Kim Dickens (Hollow Man) and Jenna Boyd (Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants).

Até tenho medo do que vem aí.

Gostei do First Blood mas os outros 2 rambos são de cortar os pulsos.
O Stallone evolui muito como actor ao longo dos anos (ex. Copland, Get Carter), pode ser que saia daqui algo de jeito.

Sylvester Stallone irá produzir e realizar um script da sua autoria intitulado 'Rambo IV: In the Serpent's Eye', a a sua produção já está agendada para Janeiro na Tailandia.

The next chapter finds Rambo recruited by a group of Christian human rights missionaries to protect them against pirates, during a humanitarian aid deliver 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.

Com script do Stallone é qualidade garantida. Ninguém mais conseguia escrever diálogos que fizessem sentido nos seus lábios.
É preciso salvaguardar que se continuam a fazer filmes cujo enredo não seja demasiado complicado para o George Bush.

Bem se for do nível do Rambo I e II já não é nada mau.

Ms não acredito muito tem sempre tendência para piorar, tal como aconteceu com os Rockys.

Entrevista com Brian Tykler, o compositor:

CD: Sounds like you've got a lot of really cool assignments this year, and...

BT: Oh, there's one more! I guess I can go ahead and announce it here, it's not on the internet yet. We're going in and looking at doing it, working out the details now, but I'm doing the final installment of the "Rambo" films!

CD: Oh, really!

BT: Yeah, which Stallone is directing, and it's going to be incredible. I've read the script, and kind of like he did with "Rocky", he's bringing it home, to the feeling of the original. There's some other big shoes to fill, because of course Jerry Goldsmith did those. You know, there's always this kind of tie with Jerry and myself somehow... "Star Trek", the "Timeline" thing, the "Alien" thing, now "Rambo", it's like he's everywhere I go, he's been there. (laughs) So it's like my idol has laid the groundwork yet again for me to try and do my best, something that can honor that tradition. They're shooting that in Thailand right now.

CD: Do you know yet, are you going to come up with entirely original material, or use some of his stuff as well?

BT: I don't know yet. I know that we definitely want to echo the feel of the "First Blood" score, the first one. It was so soulful, the theme... I don't think it will be as regional as the second score, where it kind of... it had some stuff echoing the Vietnam war. I think we're going to have stuff sticking with John Rambo, with him, rather than the music telling you, "you're in Burma"... the movie is in Thailand and Burma. It's really... I mean, I just read the script, and really, again, I grew up with that as well, I'm a big fan, and I think people will really be pleasantly surprised, or their wish will come true with the movie. With this series, as with "Rocky", I really loved what he did with "Rocky Balboa"... I remember thinking at first, "another one?" But it completely worked and hit home, it was honest, and this is as well. Anyway, this is later in the year, my last assignment for this year.

CD: That's something I'm looking forward to, because I was one of the many people who was so skeptical about "Rocky Balboa" when he announced that, and it came out so well...

BT: Yeah, he really knows what he's doing. I'm glad, because "Rocky V" left me hanging out in a lurch a bit, as a fan, I was thinking, "that wasn't really a proper ending, was it?" And then, after all this time, he was doing the film to say... well, obviously, he owns enough not to work another day in his life, he has PLENTY of money. There's no... he was doing that, and he's doing this, because he wants to bring it to a close that fans will be happy about. He wants to give it the respect he feels it should have, and close it in a way he can be proud of. Yeah, I loved it, when they fired up that Bill Conti fight music, ooooohhhhhh.

Recorde-se que o habitual compositor da série, o mítico Jerry Goldsmith, faleceu em 2004.

Se o Stallone conseguir o milagre de fazer um filme parecido com o Rocky Balboa, mas agora com o Jonh Rambo, então o filme será bem sucedido. Agora se ele volta ás palermices que marcaram o 2 e o 3 filme da série, então o regresso do Jonh Rambo acaba por ser inglório.
Esperemos que, tal como Rocky, este 4º filme se baseie mais no 1º filme do Rambo Fúria do herói.

Bem... se ele fizer um filme à Rocky Balboa vamos todos adormecer num Rambo, porque ele vai perder 90 minutos em posse contemplativa a esforçar-se por articular as palavras e não vai sobrar tempo para os tiros. Será um Rambo estilo estilo Thin Red Line, onde o John Rambo se vai questionar quanto à justiça da guerra, e se o facto de ele ter usado munição com urânio empobrecido terá contribuido para a poluição do meio ambiente e sido uma das causas do documentário do Al Gore.

lamento discordar, mas o Rambo III é para mim o TOPO dos filmes do rambo... a parte em que ele foge a correr de um helicoptero que esta a disparar para ele com duas metrelhadoras colossais é para mim a melhor cena de acçao EVER :D

Giribi, quando disse fazer um filme parecido com o Rocky Balboa, era mais no sentido de ele recuperar o Jonh Rambo do 1º filme da série, tal qual fez com o Rocky.

Ó Giribi,

olha que essa ideia do Rambo ir na linha do Thin Red Line nunca me tinha ocorrido mas não me desagrada nadinha. Já sugeiste isso ao Stallone? O moço anda numa fase boa, às tantas até aceitava a tua ideia...

Não sei se já alguém aqui teve oportunidade de ler os livros do rambo (um deles serve de base ao 1º filme e os outros dois são por sua vez é que sao baseados nos filmes). Na vertente livro o Rambo demonstra um lado bem mais humano e preocupado com o mundo, é giro :D
