This is exactly what I thought of, and that was a great remake. I'm actually disappointed that it's just a spitball in this case.Whether I'd want Tarantino to direct it himself aside, I don't mind the idea at all. Sort of akin to the Coens re-adapting True Grit in a way (presumably; I haven't read it) to the book. Driver would be ideal casting, at least.
First Blood is nearly a perfect film, there's nothing to revisit.

its tarantino, most of his movies are like remakes on some movie he really likes but with his weird twists to them
Stallone talks about the first Rambo script here in Stern and what he did to make it into the movie it became. Pretty interesting stuff. Starts @ 3:15 and is only 2 minutes. Worth a listen!

They could get alot of free advertising from Fox News for portraying abusive police as villains.
I don't know if he would shy away from it, especially if it had a critical lens to USA in regards to 9/11. Adam Driver did The Report, which was all about the lies and cover-ups about Abu Gharib and Guantanamo Bay torture and failures of United States policies after 9/11. Had some brutal torture scenes in it. It's an excellent investigative thriller, btw! But Tarantino might have done it in bad taste, considering his past films and racism.I'd rather he not, you know, put a former marine who probably saw things in his time while serving after 9/11, in a role that could bring back bad memories. I don't know if Driver would even take it as I've noticed he seems to avoid military roles.
Just seems rather in bad taste.
