First look at Schwarzenegger and co-stars on the set of The Last Stand

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

A few weeks ago, rebounding action star Arnold Schwarzenegger shared a photo from the set of THE EXPENDABLES 2; yesterday, the man was at it again, tweeting from the set of the next stop of his comeback tour: Kim Ji-Woon’s THE LAST STAND. As you can see above, Arnold is on set with Luis Guzman, Johnny Knoxville (wearing god-knows-what) and Jaimie Alexander – the latter rockin’ a tommy gun! This movie seems off the rails already, and I dig it!

Schwarzenegger stars as Sheriff Owens, a man who has resigned himself to a life of fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction after leaving his LAPD post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with failure and defeat after his partner was crippled. After a spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy, the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the hemisphere is hurtling toward the border at 200 mph in a specially outfitted car with a hostage and a fierce army of gang members. He is headed, it turns out, straight for Summerton Junction, where the whole of the U.S. law enforcement will have their last opportunity to make a stand and intercept him before he slips across the border forever. At first reluctant to become involved, and then counted out because of the perceived ineptitude of his small town force, Owens ultimately accepts responsibility for one of the most daring face offs in cinema history.

In addition to the folks in the above image, THE LAST STAND stars Forest Whitaker, Harry Dean Stanton, Zach Gilford, Rodrigo Santoro, Eduardo Noriega, Peter Stormare and Genesis Rodriguez (pictured below). The film comes out on JANUARY 18, 2013.
