Kim Ji-woon to direct next big Schwarzenegger movie

[Mike Manson]

Kim Ji-woon who directed A Tale Of Two Sisters, The Good The Bad The Weird, and I Saw The Devil is currently scouting locations for his US Debut, the next big Schwarzenegger movie The Last Stand.

Arnold Schwarzenegger comeback movie 'Last Stand' release date set

Arnold Schwarzenegger's comeback film Last Stand is to be released on January 18, 2013.

Studio Lionsgate announced the official US date, which comes ahead of the Martin Luther King holiday weekend.

Last Stand sees Schwarzenegger playing a disgraced Los Angeles policeman who is moved to a small town, only to find himself tackling a major drug lord and his biker gang escorts.

Schwarzenegger's character is the only person that can stop the criminal and his entourage crossing the border.

A Lionsgate executive recently told Deadline: "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."

South Korean director Kim Ji-woon will start shooting the film in September. Ji-woon has previously directed The Good, the Bad, the Weird and I Saw the Devil.

I'm kinda excited about this. With Kim Ji-woon directing it, it could be a good comeback for Arnie...

And as far as an Arnold movie...I might be interested but it sounds like something for Eastwood again not Arnie

One of my first thoughts was that Arnie should try doing this movie without his accent. Not saying it would be easy, or even possible, but it would be something new and different which would be fitting for a comeback. Has he ever done this in any of his films? None come to mind.

 

[illuminati_guy]

^^ no, he haven't. not sure if he could make it work lol

anyway looking forward to this one. i hope this is gritty ass movie and arnold will have cool one liners
