So it was announced yesterday that The Gov, the Term, The Schwarz…has officially committed to starring in Kim ji-Wwon’s action chase film THE LAST STAND. To be honest, judging by the talkbacks (or lack thereof), I’m surprised the story didn’t garner more attention. Hopefully this will help…
Per a Lionsgate press release, the official synopsis for THE LAST STAND has been disseminated. No use bullshittin’, let’s get right into this sucker!
Written by Andrew Knauer, subsequently retooled by Jeffrey Nachmanoff – in THE LAST STAND:
Schwarzenegger will be starring 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 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.
Nice, The Schwarz in a gnarly Mexican standoff, Kim ji-Woon style. Sounds f*ckin’ epic to me!
THE LAST STAND starts filming this September. We’ll be sure to keep abreast every step of the way!
