Sylvester Stallone is all set to write and star in 'Rambo 5' movie, it has been revealed.

The movie will reportedly see the troubled Vietnam vet square off against a Mexican drug cartel and the 67-year-old star referred to the project as "his version of No Country for Old Men", Metro.co.uk reported.

The 'Rocky' actor previously said that if his damn body holds up, it'll be really good to play John Rambo again, otherwise it won't be Rambo fighting but it would be Rambo fighting arthritis.

Stallone first played John Rambo in the 1982 movie First Blood, returning to the role for sequels released in 1985 and 1988 before reprising the character two decades later in the 2008 movie.
