Sylvester Stallone<\/strong> recently disclosed that he planned and pitched a Rambo<\/strong> prequel in which he would have been de-aged with AI. However, he ultimately scrapped the project, and now, a separate prequel movie, titled John Rambo, with The Recruit\u2019s Noah Centineo playing the eponymous character, is in development.<\/p>\n Stallone spoke about his unmade Rambo AI prequel in multiple recent interviews. He told ScreenRant<\/a> that he wanted to recreate Rambo\u2019s origin story using AI and focusing on his life before Vietnam. \u201cI wanted to do the first AI\u2026 not retroactive\u2026 but I wanted to rewrite history of the earlier Rambo because I wanted Rambo to be the nicest guy in the school, the valedictorian, the prom king, and all that stuff,\u201d Stallone recalled.<\/p>\n The iconic actor then discussed how this project would have dealt with what happened to Rambo after he arrived in Vietnam and how it impacted his \u201cbon vivant\u201d demeanor. \u201cHe thinks it\u2019s going to be a three-week hit-and-run, and you see him being tortured and captured, his friends murdered, one thing after another, and [his] life in Saigon,\u201d Stallone elaborated before noting that he thought that they could accomplish this by de-aging him with AI.<\/p>\n According to the 79-year-old action star, he and his collaborators \u201cprocrastinated too long,\u201d and the team behind John Rambo took over. \u201cI hope, you know, good luck,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n In a separate interview during an appearance on The Playlist<\/a>\u2019s Bingeworthy podcast, Stallone revealed that he even pitched the project as an AI experiment, not receiving an entirely favorable response. \u201cEveryone thought I was crazy,\u201d he explained. \u201cAI is sophisticated enough to go through Saigon to see him at 18 years old and basically use the same image. So it isn\u2019t as big a stretch,\u201d Stallone further stated.<\/p>\n Notably, Jalmari Helander is directing Noah Centineo-led John Rambo from a script by Rory Haines & Sohrab Noshirvani. The movie currently doesn\u2019t have a release date.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Tamal Kundu on ComingSoon<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post A Rambo AI Prequel Was Planned & Scrapped by Sylvester Stallone<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sylvester Stallone recently disclosed that he planned and pitched a Rambo prequel in which he would have been de-aged with AI.
