A couple of weeks ago, the 72nd annual Cannes Film Festival kicked off, and celebrities and filmmakers from all over descended upon the south of France for two weeks of wining, dining, and of course, watching new movies. Over 20 entries competed for the prestigious Palme d’Or – including Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood – and aside from screenings, plenty of distribution and production deals were undoubtedly inked behind the scenes.
While it might seem out of place for a festival which places emphasis on artistry, it’s interesting to hear that Rambo V: Last Blood made an appearance. Veteran screenwriter and actor Sylvester Stallone went to Cannes, not only to promote the new movie but to attend an event to celebrate his work and contribution to the industry, where it was announced that First Blood would be getting a 4K restoration. In addition, attendees got a sneak peek at some promotional images of the fifth film, and it seems a select few got a rare glimpse at an unreleased trailer.
As reported by MovieWeb, the teaser provided a look at a much older John Rambo, as he prepares himself for one last fight. As of now, there aren’t too many details about the film’s plot, other than a basic outline. The aging Vietnam veteran will team up with a reporter in order to save a girl, who has been kidnapped by a ruthless drug cartel in Mexico.
Although Stallone recently shared a behind the scenes look of the movie’s production, it’s not entirely sure when Lionsgate will release the first official trailer for Rambo V: Last Blood, though there are rumors that some leaked footage from Cannes has been circulating the web. Either way, with a release date of September 20th, fans won’t have to wait long to see their favorite soldier back in action.
