Lynne Ramsay’s next film will be a western called Jane Got a Gun starring Rodrigo Santoro, Natalie Portman, Michael Fassbender and Joel Edgerton.
Right, so you must all know by now that Arnie is making his big, explosive, swash-buckling return to leading action man status following his brief hiatus to run the government of California or something.

His first starring role since making the relatively short trip back to Hollywood from the L.A. governor’s mansion, Arnold Schwarzenegger creaks back onto the big screen in a routine actioner that bets big on nostalgia for the one-liners and stiff acting he perfected so long ago.

The Last Stand is a lesson in the saving grace of star power, even if it doesn’t burn quite as bright as it used to.
Arnold has breached our cynical armour and we can’t help ourselves. Want.
