"Rambo Origin Film in Development by Sisu Director"

Get ready for more action with Rambo's return in an exciting prequel titled "John Rambo," directed by Jalmari Helander, known for his work on "Sisu" and "Big Game." According to Deadline, Millennium Media, the powerhouse behind the Expendables and Has Fallen series and also involved in 2008's "Rambo" and 2019's "Rambo: Last Blood," is set to unveil this new project at the Cannes market.

The Cannes market, a pivotal event during the Cannes Film Festival, is where film projects seeking funding or distribution partners are showcased to potential investors. This is the perfect platform for "John Rambo" to gain the necessary attention and support.

Details about the plot of "John Rambo" are scarce, but we know it will be set during the Vietnam War, serving as a prequel to the iconic 1982 film "First Blood." While no casting has been finalized, original Rambo star Sylvester Stallone is aware of the project but not currently involved.

The screenplay for "John Rambo" has been penned by Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani, acclaimed for their work on "The Mauritanian" and "Black Adam." Filming is scheduled to kick off in Thailand in October, promising an authentic backdrop for this Vietnam War story.

While a Rambo prequel might come as a surprise, Helander's recent success with the action-packed WWII film "Sisu" showcases his ability to handle high-octane, intense narratives. "Sisu" reimagined John Wick as an elderly Finnish commando battling Nazis, proving Helander's adeptness at crafting gripping action sequences.
