Two months after putting his Hollywood return on hold following a damaging sex scandal, Arnold Schwarzenegger is ready to get back on the saddle.
The former action-star-turned-politician is scheduled to start shooting the Western movie “The Last Stand” - to be directed by Korea’s Kim Jee-woon - in September, a film industry source said on Monday, despite being embroiled in what could be a messy divorce from his wife, Maria Shriver.
“It’s an old-fashioned Western specifically designed for a 63-year-old broken-down guy with a moral decision .?.?. We always needed an iconic figure for it,” an unnamed movie executive told industry Web site Deadline Hollywood on Monday.
Schwarzenegger’s participation was also confirmed by Entertainment Weekly magazine.
Representatives for the former “Terminator” star, 63, declined comment on the reports, as did a spokesman for the Lionsgate film studio that is behind the movie. But an industry source who asked to remain anonymous confirmed to Reuters that the movie was going ahead as planned with Schwarzenegger in the lead role.
“The Last Stand” is expected to be released some time in 2012.
