TWO months after putting his Hollywood return on hold following a damaging sex scandal, Arnold Schwarzenegger is ready to get back into the saddle.
The former action star turned politician is scheduled to start shooting the Western movie The Last Stand in September, a film industry source said on Monday, despite being embroiled in what could be a messy divorce from his wife, Maria Shriver.
‘It’s an old-fashioned Western specifically designed for a 63 year-old broken-down guy with a moral decision…We always needed an iconic figure for it,’ an unnamed movie executive told industry website Deadline Hollywood on Monday. Deadline Hollywood first reported the story, and Schwarzenegger’s participation was also confirmed by Entertainment Weekly magazine.
Representatives for the former Terminator star, 63, declined comment on the reports, as did a spokesman for the Lionsgate film studio that is behind the movie.
But an industry source who asked to remain anonymous confirmed to Reuters that the movie was going ahead as planned with Schwarzenegger in the lead role.
Schwarzenegger said in May that he was halting discussions for a new Terminator movie and all other Hollywood projects in order to focus on personal matters following an admission that he fathered a secret child 13 years ago with his family’s housekeeper.
