Schwarzenegger to return to film - Blu-ray Forum

Sounds interesting.

Quote:

Arnold Schwarzenegger is looking to return to the movie business and told Krone.at (via TheArnoldFans.com) that he is looking at three possible scripts. Here's a translation of the quote:

"Currently I'm reading three scripts. One topic/script, which I considered a long time ago before governor, is delighting me particularly. In it I would play an older [German] soldier, who gets the order at the ending of the war to kill a bunch of kids. But he doesn't do it and get them to safety at the risk of his life and it has all kind of adventure. This script is based on a true story!"

TheArnoldFans says the movie that Schwarzenegger is describing is With Wings as Eagles, which was written by Randall Wallace (Braveheart, We Were Soldiers).

The story is based on the true life story of a German officer who doesn't agree with his Nazi party and instead helps the American POWs escape.

There is no confirmation on what the other two scripts are.

More Arnold is a good thing. I hope he does come back to movies playing the lead. I remember reading awhile ago he only wanted small parts in movies now but maybe he changed his mind.

This is awesome news. Better the gym Arnie!

doctorD · 01-17-2011, 03:31 PM

I was hoping he might have more of a role in Expendables 2. Here's to fingers crossed that we get news of that.

Oh, God! That sounds like a pretentious Uwe Boll film. NO ARNOLD! WALK AWAY!

Blu-ray Fanatic · 01-17-2011, 03:51 PM

What are some Uwe Boll films? I don't think I've ever seen his films.

His non-video games adaptions; Attack on Darfur, 1968: Tunnel Rats, Auschwitz, Max Schmelling, Final Storm, and Rampage.

This would be great but. I heard Arnold say like a week ago on tv. That he is not returning unless he get a more mature and older gentlemen type scripts or something to do with politician stuff. So, I don't think he is gonna returning to do anymore terminator movies. But, either way. I would like to see Arnold back on screen again.

Darkhawk9587 · 01-17-2011, 06:31 PM

Good. I figured he'd make a return. I wonder if one of the three scripts he is looking at is the Expendables 2!?

thePhoenix · 01-17-2011, 06:37 PM

Arnie in a WWII movie, sounds awesome!

Actually, I was thinking it sounded exactly like a Randall Wallace type of film.

As long as he's still "Ahnald", I'm all for him returning to the world of filmmaking.

I'd like to see him back on screen too. Hopefully he is successful with the new direction he is taking. Moving away from being an action hero is a great idea.

I hope Expendables 2 is one of the scripts he is looking at.

Guydowood · 01-17-2011, 10:35 PM

Perhaps John Milius can finally do the King Conan movie since Arnie has aged into the role. Since there will never be a True Lies 2, there is a chance he could be in Avatar 2 & 3. Most likely he will have a larger role in Expendables II since that is a go film for Stallone and other then that who knows what he will do.

Marcus Wright · 01-17-2011, 10:44 PM

This sounds epic.

McCrutchy · 01-17-2011, 11:18 PM

I would love to see Schwarzenegger come back and do some serious work in drama or war films. The man is incredibly successful and I have a feeling that somewhere inside his larger than life roles, a good actor has developed over the years. If he applies himself, I think he could retire as Academy Award Winner Arnold Schwarzenegger, but that's only if he wants to do so.

I agree actors need to branch out some more but some actors just fit perfect in certain genres and Arnold just fits perfect as an action hero. If Stallone can keep doing it so can Arnold. If anything he should do what Stallone does and direct and act.

I would really like to see a reboot for the Evil Dead franchise with Swarznegger in it.
That would be cool, especially if he was younger.

First official pictures of the new upcoming WW2 movie are up.

Here is he starting as a promising nazi.

Here is where movie takes off when he is older and on a higher position.
