Sylvester Stallone has signed a multimillion-pound deal to direct and star in two new action films.The actor will join forces with Rambo producers Danny Dimbort, Avi Lerner and Trevor Short of Nu Image/Millennium Films following the success of his recent Rambo and Rocky sequels. He told the Hollywood Reporter: “The past year and a half of working with Avi, his partners Danny and Trevor and his film family has been nothing but a high point for me and my career and an extremely rewarding experience. Avi is a real gentleman and a man of his word.”Stallone’s 2006 film Rocky Balboa grossed $70 million, while the fourth installment in theRambo franchise took $18.2 million in its opening weekend in the US last month.The 61-year-old is said to be looking at scripts for further movies in both series, despite previously insisting that the recent sequels would be the last.He is also separately working on a remake of 1974 vigilante drama Death Wish.Studio boss Harvey Weinstein recently said he wants to make a fifth Rambo movie before Stallone gets too old.
