And here I thought we'd be wise enough to let some franchises just fade away.  Looks like Stallone is hard at work on a fourth Rambo movie.  Wow, who would have thought.  And its news to me as well, didn't see this one coming!

The plot of 'John Rambo' follows a group of Christian aid workers who recruit Rambo to guide them up the Salween River to deliver medical supplies to the oppressed Karen tribe. When the missionaries fail to return from Burma, the aging Vietnam vet leads a team of mercenaries back into the war-torn border region to rescue them.

"It's the best of all of the 'Rambo's since the first one, for sure," says Stallone. "I wanted to do one more, but I also wanted to touch on something that has been going on for 60 years. It's the longest civil war in the world. The most important thing is you provide entertainment, but you also put a light on this savage existence that the people in Burma have to live."

"A group of Christian aid workers" hire Rambo?!  Oh, this has to be good.
