I’m sure, you were like me growing up! A huge Arnie fan. We didn’t care about the extra curricular babies or anything. All we cared about was that big ol oak kicking all kinds of shit out of everything. Well, let the rejoicing begin. Arnie is making his return and it started shooting today. Directed by Kim Jee-woon (The director of the brilliant The Good, The Bad, The Weird) Arnie is a former LAPD officer how starts working as a small town sheriff. When a drug kingpin is on route to mexico, he passes by Arnie ville. And no doubt Arnie will start kicking shit yet again. Given the one time California governor has put on a few years, I wonder how much shit he can actually kick.
The Last Stand also stars Forest Whitaker and Johnny Knoxville. The ass kicking beings on January 18th, 2013.
Synopsis:
Schwarzenegger stars as Sheriff Owens, a man who has resigned himself to a life of fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction after leaving his LAPD post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with failure and defeat after his partner was crippled. After a spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy, the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the hemisphere is hurtling toward the border at 200 mph in a specially outfitted car with a hostage and a fierce army of gang members. He is headed, it turns out, straight for Summerton Junction, where the whole of the U.S. law enforcement will have their last opportunity to make a stand and intercept him before he slips across the border forever. At first reluctant to become involved, and then counted out because of the perceived ineptitude of his small town force, Owens ultimately accepts responsibility for one of the most daring face offs in cinema history.
