John Rambo one of the best-known characters to come out of the 1980s, and helped make Sylvester Stallone into the mega-star he is today. Quentin Tarantino sees a new future for Rambo, however, in Adam Driver, the director said on The Big Picture Podcast.

Tarantino is known for his auteur films like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2, and Pulp Fiction, but he seems to be considering, if only in fun, an adaptation as his next project.

"If I just wanted to make a good movie, that I knew would be good, I would take David Morrell’s novel for First Blood and do the novel. Not the movie that was made out of First Blood. I would do the novel. And Kurt Russell would play the sheriff, and [Adam Driver] would play Rambo. Every time I read it, the dialogue is so fantastic in the David Morrell novel that you’re reading it out loud. It would be so good. But now I want to do more than that. But if it was just about to make a good movie, that’s out there."
