John Rambo has knocked at the Lionsgate and they’ve answered.
The studio – not surprisingly, since they’re the current owners of the past films – were more than happy to give the new sequel – “
John Rambo” – a home.
The publicity site for Lionsgate gives little else up other than they now own the title.
Oh… besides this little synopsis :
"
In Thailand, a group of Christian aid workers recruit John Rambo to guide them up the Salween River to deliver medical supplies to the Karen tribe of neighboring Burma (aka Myanmar). When the missionaries fail to return, Rambo is persuaded to take a group of mercenaries back into the war-torn border region to find them. What follows is a descent into hell on earth."
