Sylvester Stallone once had a radical idea to use artificial intelligence to digitally de-age him back to his teenage years for a Rambo<\/em> prequel.<\/p>\n During an appearance on The Playlist\u2019s Bingeworthy<\/em> podcast, the actor revealed the pitch he had for the film, saying he envisioned technology recreating John Rambo at 18.<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone thought I was crazy,\u201d Stallone said. \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<\/p>\n Though a Rambo<\/em> origin story starring Noah Centineo is already in the works without his involvement, Stallone admitted it won\u2019t be easy for any other actor to take on the role.<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s very, very hard,\u201d said Stallone. \u201cHe may do a stellar job, but you\u2019re overcoming this because I went through it with Get Carter. Everyone loves the original, and then you\u2019re always fighting that prejudice.\u201d<\/p>\n Stallone also reacted to I Play Rocky<\/em>, an upcoming Peter Farrelly-directed drama about the making of his breakout film. Anthony Ippolito has been cast as the young boxer, which caught Stallon off guard.<\/p>\n \u201cI was shocked to read [about] it,\u201d he said. \u201cI have zero to do with it. Since I lived it, I thought I might be able to participate and give them some insight.\u201d<\/p>\n The actor is also turning his attention to his own story. His memoir, The Steps<\/em>, arrives May 5 and traces his early struggles in New York into his Academy Award triumph with Rocky<\/em> in 1977, while also revisiting his decades of iconic roles.<\/p>\n On the TV front, Stallone will return in Tulsa King<\/em>, which kicks off its third season Sept. 21. The series has already been renewed for a fourth.<\/p>\n <\/a> Marlon Wayans Wants AI to Power a ‘White Chicks’ Sequel: ‘I’m Down for That’<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Joe Rogan Reacts to \u2018Fire\u2019 AI Soul Remake of 50 Cent\u2019s “Many Men”: \u2018AI Is F*cking Scary\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Will Smith Seemingly Trolls People Who Called Him Out About Alleged AI Fans \u2014 With a Crowd of Cats!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Lupita Nyong’o and Mandy Moore Team Up to Fight for Women’s Health Research on Capitol Hill<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n ‘Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta’ Stars’ Son Acted in Self-Defense in T-Hood Death, Says Police<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated News<\/h3>\n
