hey guys in today's video I wanted to talk about Sylvester Stallone his
upcoming movies in 2020 and beyond can you believe this man's gonna be 74 this
year age clearly does not slow him down oh do me a favor by the way smash that
like button just destroy it the way Rambo would after he found out Murdock
betrayed him and Rambo First Blood Part 2. Murdock, I'm coming to get you
so the first movie I want to talk about is actually the only one coming out this
year it was originally slated for November 20th of 2020 but has been moved
to December 11 either way still in time just for Christmas it's called Samaritan
it's a dark take on the superhero genre after the success of Joker I wouldn't be
surprised to see a lot more superhero films venturing into and exploring that
darker territory thanks Joaquin Phoenix. now the story set 20
years after an epic battle of the city's villain and hero missing or worse
there's little else known aside from the fact that a young boy searches for the
legendary superhero Sylvester Stallone play Stanley Kaminsky, a sanitation worker trying to
live a normal life while harboring a dark secret it's a safe bet that he's
probably the missing hero as far as the antagonist goes that's played by
Pilou Asbaek along with natacha karam who plays a dangerous and unpredictable
hench person to the main villain the movie is directed by julius avery who
most recently wrote and directed 2018's Overlord i haven't seen that movie
myself but let me know in the comments section if you have and if it's any good
the synopsis certainly sounds interesting it's a small group of
American soldiers find horror behind enemy lines on the eve of d-day as far
as Samaritan goes in addition to starring in the film Stallone will also
act as a producer through his company Balboa productions Balboa productions
formed last year and seems to be off to a pretty good start
Braden Aftergood the executive in charge of scripted development out Balboa
productions says my goal is for us to be the go-to place for action
I appreciate that statement as grandiose but Blumhouse has done an
extraordinary job owning the horror space there's no reason why we can't own
the action space in a similar way Stallone himself gets a bit more specific
about what he's looking for saying this I like stories that deal with modern-day
mythology which is pretty much what Marvel is. You take situations like the
trope of the loner the stranger in town and you watch them cope with the forces
that be to me that's very intriguing that plays out in the genesis of the
Western all the way out to the horror genre the situations like the trope of
the loner the stranger in town watching him cope with the forces that be
that's First Blood that's Rambo Part 1 all the way it's literally the
kind of stories that Stallone himself fell in love with 40 years ago when he
made Rambo one in case you're wondering this is
not the first time Sylvester Stallone is playing a superhero on screen in 1995 he
played the title character in Judge Dredd and more recently in 2017 he had a
small role in guardians of the galaxy vol 2 where he played a character by the
name of Stakar Ogord and although this was a small part it does set up the
possibility of a much larger role for him down the line in the Marvel
Cinematic Universe in guardians volume 2 Stallone's character is a respected leader
of the Ravagers a gang of the space pirates from the first film now in the
comics the character is also known as star hawk a hero who has worked
alongside the Fantastic Four as well as Thor and it's likely we'll see him as
star Hawk sometime in the future hey let me know in the comments section by the
way if you're excited to see Stallone appear as Star Hawk in the future films
with Marvel and what do you guys think about Samaritan so the next film
Stallone is slated for it's currently in pre-production and likely to start
filming this summer in 2020 it's called Little America and it's set in a
dystopian future where America is a bankrupt wasteland Stallone plays a former
Army Ranger hired by an Asian billionaire to find the man's daughter
in Little America a walled-off ghetto within a Hong Kong where expat Americans
have fled the thumb really sounds like John Carpenter's Escape from New York
and escape from LA those were also sci-fi actioners where the hero was
sent in on a rescue mission within a walled-off crime-ridden crumbling
section of America speaking of Escape from New York a remake of that movie has
been on the cards for years but never gotten off the ground so perhaps little
America could fill that gap for the time being in the film Stallone is teaming up
with the highly skilled sister of the missing woman along for the ride so it'll be
fun watching sly's ranger navigate that dark underbelly of little america
Michael Bay is executive producing so you can expect some big glossy action
he's known for directing and producing numerous hits such as Armageddon the
rock the latest Ninja Turtles movie and numerous Transformers films Little
America is going to be directed by Rowan Athale who most recently directed strange
but true which tells a story of a woman who five years after the tragic death of
her boyfriend arrives on the doorstep of his family to tell them she is pregnant
with his child though skeptical the family find
themselves trying to prove her right only to discover that the truth is much
more terrifying than they could have ever imagined that certainly sounds
intriguing they had that's my watch list let me
know in the comment section if you guys seen him what'd she think about that
film. Rocky (Stallone): "You got me curious". As far as a little America
goes there's certainly already a lot of buzz and excitement and confidence in
the film as international buyers at Berlin's European film market went wild
for Little America as a lot of the international distribution rights
Stallone certainly still has it riding that
Creed 2 and Rambo Last Blood momentum for sure so what do you guys think of a
Little America? personally I think it sounds a like a lot of fun and I'll
certainly be better see it opening weekend. Apollo Creed: "You got me curious Rock". Well next on
the docket would be the long overdue Expendables 4 this has been in
development for years now with part three coming out nearly six years ago
and while the series did suffer from franchise fatigue with the new one being
released every other year the bigger issue I found in part 3 were twofold one
it was pg-13 how are you gonna get the most amazing action heroes of the 80s
and 90s from r-rated movies watered down for pg-13 audiences and to the whole
appeal of the Expendables are these action legends we want more of them not
less like when they brought the amazing Jean-Claude Van Damme aboard for part 2
instead we got a new younger team that the audience for this film just doesn't
really give a crap about at least we got Wesley Snipes and Antonio Banderas that
was pretty cool but did we really need Fraser? talk about scraping the bottom of
that 90's barrel of people who were relevant back then. now I'm still waiting
for Steven Seagal to show up perhaps in part 4 as far as fans go I know many of
you would love to see Keanu Reeves Expendables could really use John wick
to help give the franchise a much-needed shot in the arm let me know in the
comments section who you'd like to see in part 4 and speaking of part 4 it's
still really early in development there's not even a storyline out there
is it now but in the interim there is a graphic novel where the team of
Expendables go straight to hell it only seems fitting the potential seems pretty
insane and is definitely more suited towards a graphic novel than feature
film the graphic novel has been co-written by Sylvester Stallone and
Chuck Dixon with art by Graham Nolan if you couldn't tell by the title the story
takes place after the team of Expendables has been killed in action
and find themselves in the middle of the raging battle has been going on for
eternity in you guessed it hell here the team will run into some rather evil
historical figures for example in the sample artwork we see our hero Barney
Ross and a fistfight with none other than Adolf Hitler Saddam Hussein Osama
bin Laden and Joseph Stalin the concept is certainly over-the-top but well
suited for a graphic novel at the very least this should help keep fans happy
and certainly keep people continue and talk about this franchise until we
finally get more concrete info on the next film now Creed 3 is currently in
development the Sylvester Stallone has said numerous times now that he no longer feels a need
to take part in that franchise although Stallone initially got me and a
lot of other fans excited about the spin-off series I do agree with them as
much as I'd like to see him in part 3 Michael B Jordan is certainly strong
enough lead himself to continue that franchise alone but the only reason I
don't mind this happening is because we have not seen the last of Rocky so let's
talk about rocky 7 or Rocky Balboa 2 or who knows what they'll end up calling it
here's an interview he did with Collider somewhat recently any last thoughts
about Rocky Balboa? are we gonna see Rocky Balboa again? um right on the cusp err I
really have a good story it's whether mmm yeah you know it's it's Rocky they
see the thing is rocky outside I'm probably done with Creed I am okay yeah
that's that's there's nothing walking through there
okay but yeah that fist bump was the year that ciao. but I have I have a thing
that it's politically we would say vital right now and it's it's it's it's that
too is it's it's right on the edge also it deals also with the foreign country
you know and what you've heard a little bit about it and they want it badly okay
yeah and it's like oh should I do this because Rocky making a Rocky film and
when people like Michael I want to direct Creed I go and think very carefully
about this yeah as you will now have two years of no life right and no guarantee
is going to be a hit and if you don't find I was blessed
three times with mr. T, Carl Weathers and Dolph Lundgren these are so rare I cannot
tell you John how hard it is to find someone I can get Big Bear you
but some of that visually you go he doesn't have to say a word I get it I'm
fine I wouldn't get in that ring or Carl Weathers there's no better film fighter
as a boxer they Carl Weathers yeah it's if it's I have some 40 minutes of him
you know with eight millimeter it's a miracle you know he's not a boxer yeah I
said thank God I found this guy so the basic premise Rocky 7 is that Rocky
Balboa would be training a young street fighter who is illegally living in
America the young fighter is angry he's someone who got stuck in this country
when he came to see his sister rocky takes him into his life and an
unbelievable adventure takes place that sees him south of the border Stallone says
that's very very timely and he also confirmed that based on this scenario
that the movie would tackle immigration issues in the US this certainly sounds
like the premise of the very underrated Rocky 5 with the very timely element of
the immigration issues occurring in America right now what do you guys think
about Rocky 5 by the way do you agree that it's underrated let me know in the
comments section below also how excited are you about a new Rocky film so next I
want to talk about another one as Stallone's most iconic franchises none
other than Rambo 2019s Rambo 5 was originally going to be a monster movie
instead in Rambo last blood we got Stallone
battling the Mexican cartel after his friends daughters kidnapped for human
trafficking purposes interestingly there is sort of a horror element to that film
as Rambo's man-cave becomes somewhat of a sadistic house of horrors where his
objective is not justice against the cartel but rather vengeance with the
motivation to inflict as much pain as he can against his enemies with the success
of Rambo last blood there's no reason why we can't see our favorite Vietnam
vet ride again and a new outing the preliminary title for Rambo 6 would be a
savage hunt and would take place in the Pacific Northwest maybe inspired by all
those Bigfoot sightings over there perhaps there's a pretty good article
written up about it on the website bloody disgusting it seems that
somewhere in that area there is a US military installation that's doing
experiments on elite soldiers as part of some sort of program where they're
attempting to tap into that savagery that we have deeply embedded in all of
us now there were rumors that this was going to be somewhat like universal soldier
but Stallone has squashed those rumors back in 2009 he clarified it's going to be
more of a predator type monster movie he stated it's not a universal soldier it's
not me fighting a super soldier it's actually a feral beast it's a thing it's
this amalgamation of fury and intelligence and pure unadulterated rage
is before men became human this is when they were still inhuman and so what
Rambo confronts is something that is everyone's nightmare Stallone continued
Rambo's going against a feral beast that has absolute cunning and intelligence
and a will to survive that is only matched by rainbows and that's what
makes it uniquely different man's conscious fighting his dark dangerous
uncontrollable subconscious sorry similar to the plot and Forbidden Planet
when the doctor couldn't control his mind and his subconscious took over and
became a savage killing machine it's your worst nightmare you're battling
your primitive self according to report A Savage Hunt's plot was inspired by James
Byron Huggins is 1999 novel Hunter which Stallone had at one point acquired the
rights to now in that novel at Beast a half human abomination created by
renegade agency through a series of outlawed genetic experiments is loose
somewhere north of the Arctic Circle and a tracker by the name of Nathaniel
Hunter is tasked with taking it down before it reaches civilization this
sounds really awesome so at the end of Rambo Last Blood we see Rambo bloodily
ride off into the sunset perhaps his next adventure will see him
come face to face with this savage beast let me know what you guys think in the
comments section would this make for a great Rambo plot or what so those are
the films Stallone currently has in the works he's going to be busy he's gonna
keep producing great content for us all entertaining us let me know what you
guys think of the comments section as far as what you're most looking forward
to seeing and as always thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe oh
