Goodbye, John Rambo.

Hello, Rambo to Hell and Back.

That is the new title of the Sylvester Stallone vehicle, according to Lionsgate's publicity site. Rambo to Hell and Back is slated for release January 25, 2008.

Set in Thailand, Rambo revolves around a group of Christian aid workers who recruit Rambo to guide them up the Salween River to deliver medical supplies to the Karen tribe of neighboring Burma (a.k.a. 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.

Stallone writes, directs, produces and stars as Rambo. The pic was filmed on location in Thailand.

Graham McTavish as "Lewis,"
Rey Gallegos as "Diaz,"
