This has me excited. I’m a huge fan of big action flicks, the have to fun, the have to have the right level of humour or none at all, and above all they have to be about beating insurmountable odds. That’s why I love Arnie movies so much, from The Terminator and Predator, he had me hooked. I knew who he was before then of course, during my mad gym phase I trained with bodybuilders and that guy was idolised by the majority.
So it’s wonderful news to hear that he’s going to be returning to the big screen. The BBC have him reprising his role in the fantastic True Lies with James Cameron directing.
Currently the rest of the cast is yet to be secured, I seriously hope they manage to get both Tom Arnold and Jamie Lee Curtis, with an on screen visit by the superb Bill Paxton.
Oh joys, what could be better? Still, politics are set to interfere no matter what:
Wary of offending post-9/11 sensibilities, Cameron is promising “a James Bond type film and not a pre-terrorist action film” – whatever that is.
Fine, just stop the talking and get the casting going! Who is in for this? Politics aside, wouldn’t it be great to see Arnie back in a great action flick from Cameron, and what an excellent choice for him, True Lies had excellent cast chemistry and was just so much fun.
