Stallone is looking to reprise the role.

I'm not sure how this would work. Much like the Scream television series how do you make this episodic?

No thanks, I'd rather remember Rambo from the movies and cartoon

And it's occured to me. He's a one man A-Team. Every week he goes out and does his Rambo thing to help some poor schmuck who is in trouble. And for a seasonal arc, he has to fight some government baddie intent on capturing/killing him for the crime of vagrancy.

This series would work best if it didn't star Stallone (cast someone about the age he was in the first) and if its story focused on and had to do with him being ex-military.

Also, the title of it should be "Rambo: First Blood"

 

[SpideyFan866]

Or just First Blood

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

I'm not sure to be interested in a Rambo TV show without Stallone as Rambo.
Wait & See.

Same here. Rocky/Rambo are forever Stallone icons.

But as you said, wait and see. Sly wouldn't go into this unprepared for sure.

 

[SpideyFan866]

Yeah, He definitely wouldn't sign off on it, nor be gung ho to join the creative team and possibly star if he didn't have faith in the product.

Same thing goes for the new "Creed" film. He wouldn't be willing to participate in that and co star if he didn't think it could work.

 

[Teelie]

If he starts to star in this series and be heavily involved in other television series, I wonder how that will impact his movie career, specifically his Expendables franchise.

 

[terry78]

Other people do it, so who can say.

 

[Asgard]

It could be a situation like The Phantom. Rambo takes a merc under his wing and after Rambo retires/dies, he takes his place traveling the low places and righting wrongs.

 

[cabel]

I would like to see a prequel series, covering his younger years, recruitment, training, and ultimately his experiences in Vietnam.

 

[terry78]

Who is old enough to remember the Rambo cartoon? Ah, the days when we could have children's properties based on R rated material. The Savage Dragon cartoon was pushing it though.

 

[Human Torch]

Not sure I can see Rambo as a TV series,but I'd give it a watch if Sly plays Rambo again.

Stallone says he ain't reprising the role, so you can all get back to fancasting a young Rambo reboot now.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

in all honesty, I just can't see this working... and if so, definitely not past a half season, much less a full one...
