No, it's not a trailer. Dammit. It's a picture of an old looking Arnold Schwarzenegger on the set of his upcoming movie The Last Stand. And that's it.
But it's Ah-nuld, dammit! And no matter how old he gets, he will always be THE action hero of my youth. The fact that he's tackling action movies again puts a big old smile on my face. Big!
Directed by I Saw the Devil's Jee-woon Kim, the film sees Schwarzenegger play a former LAPD officer who has retired
to a quieter life in a small town called Summerton Junction, near the
Mexican border. His big problems start when a drug kingpin (Eduardo
Noriega) escapes police custody and makes a run for the border - with
only Owens standing in his way. Desperate, he deputizes the locals to
fill out his force as the druglord and his lieutenants loom ever closer.
I think this has a lot of potential. We'll see Arnold play his age, but still kick ass. It's the first of four Schwarzenegger movies due out in 2013, and I look forward to them all!
The Last Stand arrives in theatres Jan. 18.
