The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

Lionsgate has secured major rights from Millennium Films for the Rambo and Expendables franchises. They will have global distribution rights to the upcoming Rambo prequel as well as lead production for any Rambo-related TV shows. They also have the rights to develop and produce Expendables movies, TV shows, video games and other (but not necessarily true sequels).

Expendables was a good idea they never really delivered on and the last two movies pretty much tanked it. I don't know what's stopping another studio from gathering a bunch of over-the-hill action stars for their own movie where they're not mercenaries running around like they're all in their 30s. Would be a lot easier to get Tom Cruise, Matt Damon, Liam Neeson, Vin Diesel and Keanu Reeves for Original Movie 1 than Expendables 5.

Would be set in about 1951 if the same amount of time as passed in universe as in the real world since The Mummy. 1958 for Mummy 2 and 1963 if counted from Mummy 3.
 
Wow, this is a surprise

That would have been fun news to see him return, had this been done years ago. 2015, he was still good to go, 2020 was pushing it, but time and age has not been kind of him. He's had health problems and surgeries due to years of performing his own stunts, gained a lot of weight, lost some, now he looks nothing like the action hero we all knew. He looks like a background officer worker in some hypothetical Office Space 2, even has glasses now.

I feel bad for him, but how he's going to be a co-star and be presumably some kind of co-action hero in this film, doesn't look so good.

Reminds me of Richard Dean Anderson in the Stargate: SG1 direct-to-video films, where they tried to hide his weight gain, he didn't do much, and all the action stuff was left to other people.

I hope they have a good story toe tell, and he's just not back fora paycheck. Two sequels, a spin off film that in turn had four sequels ... it's saturated and thinned.
