A reboot of the classic 1980s action franchise "Rambo" that starred Sylvester Stallone is being developed.
Brooks McLaren has been tapped to pen the script and Ariel Vromen to direct the feature, said The Hollywood Reporter.
Titled "Rambo: New Blood", the new reboot would not see Stallone return as the action hero, like he did in the 2008 outing, but would see a younger actor inhabit the role.
