I want to write these screenplays! According to Variety, while Sylvester Stallone is trying to breathe new life into “Rambo”, Columbia, Revolution Studios and MGM are definitely teaming to co-produce and co-finance “Rocky Balboa”, the sixth film in the Rocky series.
ROCKY - Not having seen an entire Rocky movie start to finish, I really don’t have an opinion about the degree to which the world needs another installment in the fighter’s saga but I sure would love to take a crack at writing the screenplay. My Rocky Balboa would be succumbing to the demons of online black market hyrododone and pushing for international recognition of wheelchair boxing, a sport that he spins into the media spotlight when his failed consecutive hip and knee replacements force him to find another venue for beating the snot out of people.
RAMBO – Geriatric special ops team? No way. Too cliche. But can’t you picture Rambo suffering from Alheimer’s Disease? He has periodic episodes of dementia and commando crawls through the local Piggly Wiggly, thinking his Swiffer is an AK-47, biting the caps off bottles of YooHoo and chucking them at the bag boys. No, it’s not politically correct, but I’d pay $8.50 to see it, especially if Rambo has a medical sidekick that makes him stop exploding jars of olives long enough to check his cholesterol.
Yeah, I gotta write these! Somebody get me the number for Stallone's assisted living center!
