Stallone: The timing was perfect to return with new ‘Rambo’ film
Youngstown Vindicator – Jan 29, 2008
By BARRY KLTNWRANGE CUNTY REGISTERLS ANGELES ? Sylvester Stallone was in a hurry. He was moving quickly but gracefully down the hall at the Four Seasons hotel in Los Angeles like a young John Rambo ? not like an older Rocky Balboa. Just as he got to his destination he was intercepted by two young men in dark suits. They had a question you don?t hear every day in Hollywood. ?Do you have time to take a call from the Dalai Lama??Stallone declined saying he was late for an interview to promote his new movie ?Rambo? which opens Friday. He ducked into the room closed the door behind him and left the Tibetan spiritual leader?s emissaries in the hall… Despite his warnings to the aid workers they insist on getting involved in the ongoing civil war in Myanmar. Later he must lead a rescue mission to get them out of the country. Stallone filmed the action film in Thailand with a crew of 500 (in contrast his ?Rocky Balboa? crew numbered about 60) that had to use elephants to move all the equipment through the jungle to where the movie was shot. ?There was nothing glamorous about it? the filmmaker said. ?It was the hottest season in 94 years they were burning down half the country to clear lands and there were poisonous snakes and centipedes the size of your foot. It was very rough and there was at least one moment when I wondered if perhaps it would have been a better idea to film this movie in Puerto Vallarta. ?f more concern to Stallone was whether the public is ready for another Rambo adventure.
