If you’ve been out at the theaters supporting Sylvester Stallone’s recent reemergence as an action hero in “Rocky Balboa” and “Rambo” then you’ll be happy to hear that there will be more opportunities for the 62 year old movie star. Reuters has the details on Stallone’s new movie deal:

Boxoffice comeback champ Sylvester Stallone has inked a lucrative deal to direct and star in two action films with “Rambo” producers Danny Dimbort.

Several scripts are being considered for follow-ups to his surprise hit sequels to “First Blood” and “Rocky.” With Nu Image/Millennium’s new Writers Guild of America interim deal speeding up the process, the first script is expected to be ready by the fall, with production set to begin shortly thereafter.

This news follows on the heels of Stallone making the statement that there won’t be another Rambo film. So this raises the question of could Stallone still capture this same success with a character and storyline that doesn’t have 30 years of fanbase built into it? I’m not so sure he can, but that’s not to say I wouldn’t be interested in seeing what he has to offer. If Harrison Ford can be a 60+ action hero, why not Stallone?
