Hunter<\/strong>, a film adapted from the 1999 science-fiction novel by James Byron Huggins.<\/p>\nThe film will deal with a skilled tracker named Nathaniel Hunter who is hired to track down and kill genetically altered beasts that escaped a top-secret military installation.<\/p>\n
Hardcore Stallone fans with excellent long-term memories will remember that Stallone bough the rights to the book way back in 2009…to use as a plotline for Rambo V<\/strong>. Yes, that sequel was supposed to plug John Rambo in the place of Nathaniel Hunter and take the Rambo <\/strong>franchise in a new sci-fi direction.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/The-Hunted-RamboV-224x339.jpg\")
The film was going to be called Rambo V: The Savage Hunt <\/strong>and it went so far as to have a one-sheet made up to pass along during the Toronto Film Festival. That version of the film stalled. There will be a Rambo V<\/strong>, it’s shooting now as a matter of fact, but the story will have him taking on the Mexican drug cartels.<\/p>\nNo word on whether or not Stallone will be directing and\/or starring in the film. At this point he is still looking for a screenwriter to adapt the book.<\/p>\n
The article also go on to list a number of other projects Stallone has in the pipeline for Balboa Productions. They include:<\/p>\n
\n- Samaritan: <\/strong>A dark take on the superhero with a script from Bragi Shut. No word if this film is based on the character from Kurt Busiek’s Astro City <\/em>line of creator-owned comics.<\/li>\n
- Ghost: My Thirty Years as an FBI Undercover Agent: <\/strong>Adapted from the memoir of Michael McGowan, a 30-year field operative who ran an unprecedented 50 undercover missions.<\/li>\n
- An as yet untitled special-ops film: <\/strong>An action film to be written by retired Army Ranger Max Adams.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The above films with the exception of Samaritan <\/strong>will be backed by Chinese financier Starlight Cultural Entertainment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Stallone is dusting off an old RAMBO V premise to make a new film, HUNTER out of it. <\/div>\n
