Sylvester Stallone to Take On a Monster in ‘Hunter’

There was a report going around some time ago about how the original concept for “Rambo V” was going to be about Rambo hunting a Predator-like creature. That concept never came to fruition, thankfully, but the basic premise is still in the works.

According to Deadline Sylvester Stallone is still adapting the James Byron Huggins novel “Hunter”, but will instead make it a straight adaptation and not turn it into a Rambo story.

The story centers around a man named Nathaniel Hunter, a tracker and world renowned hunter, who is asked by the military to help track down an bloodthirsty inhuman beast living in the arctic.  Hunter comes to learn that the beast may have been the creation of the military, but he’s determined to stop the creature before it makes its way to nearby civilization.

The book was originally going to be turned into “Rambo V”, but thankfully everyone came to their senses.  While the idea of Rambo dealing with a monster is cool on paper, it would have been a super ridiculous move for the character.

At this point there’s no word on a director or writer working on the project, so stay tuned as we wait to hear more.
