Rambo V Sly Guy Gets Script

Conan the Barbarian writer Sean Hood has just submitted his screenplay for Rambo: Last Stand to the studio says Empire and FEARnet.

Despite the fact that he seemed done withe franchise Sylvester Stallone was involved in getting things started with the film. "I met with Mr Stallone twice last year," says Hood. "He gave me a book, an older screenplay, and about twenty pages he'd written himself to use as inspiration for the last chapter of the Rambo saga."

He would not name the book, but did indicate that Rambo 5 isn't based on any of the ideas that have been talked about before like the sci-fi tinged "Rambo V: The Savage Hunt"--nor the prequel that Stallone mentioned last summer.

"It's more in line with the small-town thriller of First Blood," says Hood

He is also quick to say that "As of now, I don't know whether Mr Stallone will actually do it. Right now, as I understand it, he has his hands full with The Expendables 2 and Bullet to the Head But...my hope is that he'll eventually be inspired to do one more Rambo film, with the tone of Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven"
