| Arnold Schwarzenegger |
His return to action already includes an animated superhero as The Governator announced a next movie role in Kim Jee-Woon’s, and a return to his most iconic role as the Terminator for nearly five director Justin Lin. Well, how about we have another project in the fast-growing slate of Arnold Schwarzenegger, but this time it is to throw a drama. Vulture reports of the action icon will have a role in a play called Cry Macho by director Brad Furman (The Lincoln Lawyer) and Al Ruddy, producer take on such acclaimed dramas like “Million Dollar Baby and The Godfather. In fact, there sounds like Cry Macho could return to his first real action.
The plan is to have at the moment for the shooting this summer, but funds are not raised at the film festival in Cannes next month. So what’s the story? Apparently it’s on N. Richard Nash based novel of the same name (he apparently wrote the screenplay before he died in 2000) and would play a damaged-goods Schwarzengger horse trainer who has just been on the pasture by his useless boss. In exchange for some retirement money, the rider agrees to the head of the 11-year-old son from his rich Mexican ex-wife kidnapped. Of course, things take an unexpected turn when the ex-wife is all too happy to rid of her juvenile delinquents.
Apparently, Schwarzenegger has been with the project more than a decade before the policies became his focus. Could be a nice departure from the action of each is expected by Schwarzenegger after his return. I’ve never been entirely convinced by his dramatic chops, but I’m willing to give it a shot. Hell, if Dwayne Johnson seeks to play a country singing sensation, then it can try Schwarzenegger without my having a bleat.
What do you think?
