Sylvester Stallone Bringing ‘Rambo V: Last Blood’ Preview to Cannes, Along With ‘First Blood’ Restoration!
We’re still waiting on the trailer for this September’s Rambo V: Last Blood, but it’s surely coming soon as Deadline is reporting today that Sylvester Stallone will be at Cannes later this month and he’s bringing a sneak preview of the new film along with him. But that’s not all. Stallone is also bringing “a full 4K DCP restoration” of Rambo: First Blood!
“Exclusive images from Rambo V: Last Blood will be unveiled, as well as a video montage of his career followed by a screening of Ted Kotcheff’s Rambo: First Blood in the Grand Théâtre Lumière,” the site notes. It’s all part of a tribute to Stallone’s career on Friday, May 24.
Deadline adds, “StudioCanal was behind the restored print. The restoration of the Rambo trilogy was made from the original camera negatives, which were scanned in 4K resolution 16bit in Technicolor Hollywood. Then the full restoration was completed at Éclair in Paris. Grading was done respectively for theatrical by HDR Dolby.”
Sounds like we’ll probably be getting 4K Ultra HD releases just in time for Last Blood!
Rambo makes his last stand on September 20, 2019.
In the new film, John Rambo is now living in a ranch in Arizona, troubled with his past. When long-time family friend and estate manager Maria informs Rambo that her grand-daughter has gone missing after crossing into Mexico for a party, he sets off with her to find the youngster.
What ensues is a violent descent into hell as Rambo uncovers a sex-trafficking ring. He teams up with a journalist whose half-sister has also been kidnapped and must deploy all his skills to save the girls and bring down a vicious crime lord.

“Old-school American horror is back as Adam Green’s iconic Hatchet series returns in a blood-soaked, fully Unrated collection, uniting all four films for the first time.
“Unleashed at a time when the fun of 80s slashers had all but disappeared from the cinematic landscape, Hatchet ushered in a new era of terror with its unapologetic brutality and introduction of Victor Crowley, the modern bogeyman, who ruthlessly hunts those who dare tread into his swamp. With each installment, the stakes escalate, delivering bigger, bloodier scares and a relentless barrage of inventive kills. So gather all your pieces, because it’s time to return to his swamp and learn once and for all that some legends truly never die.”
Other films coming soon from Dark Sky Selects include The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers, and Faces of Death. Stay tuned for updates.
