David Morrell, best-selling author of 'First Blood' with its lead character Rambo, has commended the film treatment currently being touted as the fourth installment in the Rambo film franchise as being "impressive and remarkably well researched" says XTV World.
The premise of the equally-popular and controversial treatment envisages John J. Rambo now working at the United Nations, when Islamist terrorists hijack the institution holding the world ransom. Rambo tries to take the terrorists down, knowing that his Afghani-adopted son, Tomask, is part of the terrorist mission.
The commendation marks another major step in reviving the 1980s action film franchise. Praising the treatment's understanding of the sensitive relationship between contemporary global geo-political situation and its impact on human spirituality, Morrell says "Alpha1Media's ambitions to give the character some meaning are commendable." The title of the treatment, 'Holy War', refers primarily to the spiritual warfare of the archetypal warrior-sage found in ancient religious cultures, with Rambo perceived as its modern archetype.
