Sylvester Stallone Talking With Robert Rodriguez About Bringing ‘Cobra’ Back to Life
Published 1 week ago on September 16, 2019 By John Squires
At the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, Sylvester Stallone had announced early plans to revive the 1986 action film Cobra in the form of a “streaming TV series.” Stallone of course played Marion Cobretti in the R-rated movie, a tough-on-crime street cop who must protect the only surviving witness to a strange murderous cult with far reaching plans.
In a new chat with Fandango while out promoting Rambo: Last Blood (arriving in theaters this Friday!), Stallone informs us that he’s actually developing the project with Robert Rodriguez!
“I’m talking with Robert Rodriguez right now about Cobra, which looks like that could happen,” Stallone told the site.
“It’s basically his baby now,” Stallone added, again noting that the idea is to turn Cobra into a TV series rather than bring the character back to life on the big screen.
Fandango notes that the potential project could very well be for Rodriguez’s El Rey Network, which is merely an educated guess at this point – but probably a pretty good one.
