 Sylvester Stallone taled to ComingSoon.net about his upcoming Rambo IV: In the Serpent's Eye.
"I've been working on this thing called Rhinestone. Slimestone Cowboy. (everyone laughs) That's my contribution to birth control. Put that on and nobody wants to touch. Just kidding, sorry, that's what keeps me sane. No, that would be it, because Rambo is a character that I think was not fully expressed in the last one," said Stallone. "Even though Afghanistan was the downfall, it was Russia's Vietnam. What happened was it was about 10 days before the movie came out, Gorbachev comes over and basically kisses Nancy Reagan on the cheek and the cold war, 50 years later, is over and now I'm the bad guy. It's true. Why are you red bater? I said two weeks ago we were dropping bombs on these guys. So any time you do a film that deals with a political subject, you don't know, even though I'm doing it again. It's extremely volatile. But, yeah it would just be Rambo because it's a character I think that is completely out of sync with the way things are. He's so primitive and he's so broken, his spirit, that he lives this monastic life out on the jungle. I think it's an interesting character study. I haven't seen anything like it lately."
"Early on everyone should do, every time they do a big film, they should do a little film. It really does keep you grounded. I would probably like to direct "Poe" after this. I wouldn't even be in it, I would just be behind the camera. It's something that I've wanted to do. I talk about it so much, I feel like I've made it 50 times. It'll probably bomb anyway, but I'll do it. It's one of those tough subjects, but it's a fantastic character piece. So that's what I would probably do and then after that who knows."
"I wouldn't say this is a veteran's journey. It's more like the veteran mentality of the Vietnam War, which is juxtaposition today. The soldiers today I think are vastly different. A different breed. I think they're a little bit more aware. The other guys are a bit more naïve, and they went head-long into these crazy situations. Look at the death toll. 52,000 and by today's standards that's unbelievable. A quarter of a million suicides after that from people who were damaged by the war. It's just in his attitude and his demeanor that you know he's still quite distraught by what he's been through, but yet he can't escape it, damned if he does and he's damned if he doesn't."
Stallone’s next Rocky Balboa hits theaters on December 20. |
