Now, finally, Schwarzenegger is ready to take on Hollywood again. His fully fledged comeback vehicle, The Last Stand, is released next month.The Last Stand is an upcoming action drama film written by Andrew Knauer and directed by Kim Ji-woon. The film will be Arnold Schwarzenegger's first leading role since Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in 2003. This will be the first American production for Kim Ji-woon and cinematographer Kim Ji-yong.
After leaving his LAPD narcotics post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with remorse and regret, Sheriff Ray Owens (Schwarzenegger) moved out of Los Angeles and settled into a life fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction. But that peaceful existence is shattered when Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega), the most notorious and wanted drug kingpin in the western hemisphere, makes a deadly yet spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy.
With the help of a fierce band of lawless mercenaries led by the icy Burrell (Peter Stormare), Cortez begins racing towards the US-Mexico border with a hostage in tow. Cortez’ path takes him straight through Summerton Junction, where the whole of the US law enforcement, including Agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker), will have their final opportunity to intercept him before the violent fugitive slips across the border forever.
Until now, Arnold Schwarzenegger's journey back towards movie stardom has been tentative to say the least. His appearance in The Expendables 2 basically amounted to him listing all of his catchphrases in chronological order like a sad circus bear. Then he spent the rest of the summer fruitlessly trying to develop a kind of monstrous Laurel and Hardy-style double act with Boris Johnson. If anything, that was worse.
