HugeReview.com's Christian De Matteo has been all hopped up on the new Rambo film (In development) ever since he saw the trailer.

It seems that the Weinstein Company filed suit against Nu Image because NI offered distribution to Loinsgate, when Weinstein has right of first refusal.

The original plotline followed a "retired" John Rambo going out to find a missing child, however the reported plotline as of this writing is that Rambo is living a secluded life in Bangkok, Thailand, earning a living by turning war material into scrap metal.  A group of Christian Missionaries and local people are being tortured and murdered in Burma by a brutal wing of the Burmese military. 

HISTORY: The democratically elected government of Burma was overthrown in a coup by the military in 1962. As the military government tightened its grip on the people, the crushed their opposition and protestors by the thousand - some 3,000 died in 1988 alone.  In '99 the junta declared complete martial law, and  even changed the name of the country to Mayanmar.  After all these years of protesting against the military government - and being thwarted and crushed at every turn, the democratic forces left in the country, along with the Buddhist monks, who are also having their rights trampled, are finally joined by regular citizens when the government causes fuel prises to skyrocket this summer (2007).  One-hundred thousand people march against the government, and are brutally dealt with, the Buddhist monks are targeted and many were killed.

My guess is that this history is the backdrop of the film.  Here is the link: CLICK TO SEE TRAILER
