Sylvester Stallone may be heading to Tv after a televisual series based on his iconic franchise Rambo found a home with Fox ‘after lengthy negotiations.’
The new series title Rambo: New Blood, will follow John Rambo and his son J.R, an ex-navy SEAL, as they try to work together with the show exploring their ‘complex relationship.’ With the character of Rambo playing a major role, it is expected that Stallone will reprise his famed role as the Vietnam war vet but as yet that isn’t confirmed. However, with the man himself serving as executive producer on the project, it would be remised for the action star to not once again don the bandanna.
This isn’t the only Stallone-centric film franchise to hit the small screen however with media outlets reporting earlier this year that The Expendables will spin-off on to Tv after the poorly received third sequel failed to set cinema’s aflame last year. The show will also see Stallone serve as executive producer alongside the franchise’s producer Avi Lerner and NCIS’s Shane Brennan, who will also serve as the series show-runner.
With films such as Ghostbusters, Power Rangers and even Star Wars: The Force Awaken’s looking to tap into movie-goers sense of nostalgia. It looks as if Stallone may be cornering the market of nostalgia for his own franchises on the small screen.
