Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here. That’s what AB King says, and if anyone’s got his radar tuned in to catch every little bit of RAMBO news out there, it’s AB King. He sent us the link to the story that originally appeared over at JoBlo.com:
RAMBO IV (or JOHN RAMBO or whatever it'll be titled) is gearing up for production, but we haven't heard much by way of official casting. Now we hear that Western regular Sam Elliot may apparently be assisting Stallone's former Green Beret with his familiar drawl and masterful mustache. An LA-based actor auditioned for a role as a young mercenary in the flick, and claims that aside from the previously announced Matt Marsden and an unknown actor named Sai Mawng as the villain, Elliot just joined up this week. The new movie finds Stallone again directing himself as the old soldier, this time aiding persecuted Burmese residents and rescuing captured missionaries from local warlords, which will no doubt require bullets, blades and possibly explosive-tipped arrows. And, apparently, the "cooler" skills of Wade Garrett.
