As a Stallone fan, I'm definitely going to see it if it's made. Although...
An odd thing about the series is that apart from "First Blood" (which is the best one by far), they didn't put a definitive face on the villain. I don't mind Rambo going on a one man mission, but without a compelling villain (like Brian Dennehey in "First Blood") rather than an organization, army, country, faction, etc...it sort of reduces the humanity and the ability to relate to the Rambo character. Maybe it's just me.
The best comparison I can think of is Bond films. The villains are usually always fleshed out, have a face/personality, and are often just as important as Bond himself. Ironically, Stallone's "Rocky" series does this very well.
A post above mentioned Benicio Del Toro. That would be awesome. Much better than Rambo just mowing down characters we don't get to really know.
