earlier this year after the revelations of his private life, but the
Governator appears to be ready for another bash at the big screen.*
The ex-California governor is apparently going to “test his
post-scandal popularity” by taking a role in a new Western
entitled _The Last Stand_.
A Lionsgate executive says: “It’s an old-fashioned Western
specifically designed for a 63-year-old broken-down guy with a moral
decision whether Arnold decides to stand up for his town.
“We always needed an iconic figure for it.”
According to _Deadline_, Schwarzenegger will play a border sheriff
who’s tasked with keeping an escaped drug dealer from crossing
the border into Mexico.
Not counting Arnie’s cameo appearance in 2010’s _The
Expendables_ (and, frankly, who does?), _Stand_ marks the Austrian
oak’s first big movie project in seven years (after 2004’s
_Around The World In 80 Days_).
With director Kim Ji-Woon having likened his film to a blend o_f Die
Hard_ and _High Noon_, this sounds like a promisingly gung-ho return
for Arnie. Thank God he’s back.
