Arnold Schwarzenegger makes 'Last Stand' his next movie

Aside from his brief cameo in "The Expendables," Arnold Schwarzenegger hasn't made a movie since he was elected California governor in 2003. That's about to change.Schwarzenegger's return to the big screen will be in a western called "Last Stand," which we're guessing he hopes isn't a prophetic/ironic title. Deadline reports that he'll play the sheriff of a Texas border town who has to decide, a la "High Noon," whether to stand up to outlaws, in this case members of a drug cartel.
After he left office Schwarzenegger announced he was considering several movie projects and working on an animated series called "The Governator" with comics legend Stan Lee. The revelation that he had fathered a child with a housekeeper cooled those talks, but Lionsgate, which is producing "Last Stand," is betting that by the movie's release next year, that will be old news.
Schwarzenegger is also attached to a project called "Cry Macho," but that will take a back seat to "Last Stand." Director Jee-woon Kim ("I Saw the Devil," "The Good, the Bad, the Weird") is directing, and filming is scheduled to start in September.
Will you go see Arnold in the movies again? Does this sound like a good role for him?

I will not be seeing Arnold in that movie or any other. It's his
last stand with me. Political figures, go to jail or get indicted for a crime, when they cheat on their wives and divorce. Mel Gibson wasn't even married to his baby Mama, and his movie was a box office bomb, Arnold deserves the same.
He ran my home state into the ground (more quickly than otherwise would have happened). And he could have done a movie then, thrown some cash our way. Turns out he was busy with other things.
So, nope. Not interested, though it would be kind of funny to watch him play a Texas sheriff. Maybe one day, if it's on basic cable and there's nothing else on. As far as paying for it- not a chance.
Of course I'll watch his movies. I like him as an action star and bodybuilder. I don't give two ***** about california and such. :)
i dont believe some people condeming others need to look at themselvs first ill go see his new movie, he is a great actor ive seen all his movies,keep up the good work arnold .
I'll always give his actioners or comedies a shot. I'd much rather watch Arnold than some of the Johnny-come-lately interchangeable types Hwood's been throwing at us the last few years.
