Arnold Schwarzeneggar reading 3 scripts right now, including WITH WINGS AS EAGLES!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... yeah, this is kinda awesome if it comes to pass... Apparently Arnold has reported that he's currently reading 3 scripts including one of my old favorites from Arnie's unmade past. For me, there are two films that I would kill to see Arnold make. 1) is CRUSADE with Paul Verhoeven. Then the one that he says he's reading and particularly fond of... is WITH WINGS AS EAGLES! This could be a great film for Arnold. Wallace's script is awesome. I'm a little concerned that Arnold may feel that CRUSADE is now out of his age range, if that is the case, I'd love to see him produce that film, so it gets made (Arnie owns the Script). But WITH WINGS AS EAGLES gets to show off Arnold's ability with multiple languages, and really feels like a classic WWII flick. This is very good news...
Hi Harry,
Schwarzenegger said he's looking at 3 movie scripts now with one of them being with Wings as Eagles!!! Wow, Arnold has teased fans for 10 years on that one. At last this WW2 film may come our way!

Looks like Arnold Schwarzeneggar has gotten very excited about WITH WINGS AS EAGLES!
-
finally, good to hear the comeback is approaching!
-
Get to the choppa!...that does sound awesome if arnold returned on film.I have missed him.Anyone else love the sixth day?
-
He never could act, and now with all his plastic surgery he looks ridiculous. There is only one suitable roll for Arnold in the future. He and Keanu could play father and son robots. That would be awesome. Leave the other rolls to actual actors who look their age. For every potential Arnold roll in the future, just erase his name and write in Ed Harris. The world would be a better place.
-
unless it involves Sinbad, a kindergarden, tri-titties, Eliza Dushku and a hermie, and/or a role in a Batman movie. other than that... eh

The CRUSADE would be tha bomb with Paul Verhoeven (ROBOCOP director
by organicstudios

I'd rather he do KING CONAN, though.

I won't hold my breath - Arnie hasn't been in a good movie
by Quadrillionaire
since True Lies and that includes the Expendables.
-
Why did they deny us King Conan? WHY?! :(
-
Uhh... so what the hell is this Eagles movie supposed to be about?
-
Shit.
-
...he was looking pretty rough in Expendables.
-
I just had to chime in. :)
-
yea, it was quite disgusting... flabby skin hanging off loose muscle... eww...
-
...to borrow some HGH from Sly, and get himself back on the fitness wagon. He'll look like his old self in no time.
-
<<sigh>>
-
Feature-length film of the Arnold soundboard crank calls from the 90's. That or he redubs Vader in the next release of Star Wars. "You've got baggage, lady. Fuck you!"

All I want is Schwarzenegger and Stallone in a movie à la Tough Guys...
by JediRob
...with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglass. Modernized of course with them maybe as ex operatives. Expendables was only a taste of the possibilities.
-
Though I do hope he choses better than Ereaser, Colleteral Damage or 6th day.
-
Conan lived to be an old, albeit tough, monarch. That's the great thing about Robert E. Howard's character, you can take Arnold who has aged and write him a new story to fit in Conan's mythology. I would be ecstatic if John Millius could also return to make a new film or two just to give the character a proper sendoff. Arnold just needs to get back into Conan shape. Effects by Weta Digital, please.
-
"Hasta La Vista. Hitler." "You're one Ugly mutha fuher" and all that...SIGN ME UP!!!!
-
So yeah, Verhoeven crusade movie for me, please!
-
ach, is like lookink in ze mirror.
-
It's I COULDN'T care less you moron. What the fuck does "I could care less" mean? You are intending to say "It is inconceivable that I could possibly care a lower amount about this than I presently do. That, in fact, would be impossible". So you COULDN'T care less. Jesus.
-
I'm a Nazi you idiot!!!!
-
Negative numbers. His lack of caring is such a void, it extends into another dimension.
-
Arnold as a grandpa teaming up with his badass daughter Alyssa Milano
-
Arnie must have a beautifull singing voice!
-
...Will never happen, sadly. I've got more chance of waking up with Rae Dawn Chong sucking my cock than ever seeing that movie.
-
Goddamn I missed him at the movies and I am not talking that little bit part he had in Sly's flick. I am talking a full on role with no more stopping. Welcome back Arnie!!!
-
they could get Nick Stahl to play the older version of Danny.
-
If the person doesn't even care enough to think enough about how much he doesn't care. Indifference. It's what's for dinner.
-
...his next film will either be a family-oriented comedy or have a strongly patriotic theme (or both). I don't know anything about 'With Wings as Eagles', but if it involves Arnold putting on a Nazi uniform, it won't get made. The image of an American politician in a Nazi uniform is way too hot to handle. He'll probably start off doing some voice work for Dreamworks Animation. Obama is probably going to tap Arnold for a special cabinet position, and I think Arnold will take it, but that probably won't affect his film output.
-
Verhooven said "The story of the Crusades is the murderous attack of the Christians on the Arabs and the Jews. Do you think that’s a politically interesting situation?" If Arnold played a part in that, the shitstorm would lead to... I dunno... World Peace?

"The image of an American politician in a Nazi uniform is way too hot to handle"
by DVaderRIP
Good point. I don't think that will stop it being made, but it will probably make some people think twice.
-
There have been many pretenders to the great man's thrown. Nobody does it better.
-
No comment about Rae Dawn Chong sucking on my cock then? What about the blonde princess chick out of Conan The Destroyer?
-
Now please. After the new Conan bombs the best way forward will be to revisit the original with Milius and Schwarzenegger. And Crusade with Verhoeven would be awesome too. How come none of these cool projects get made and we end up instead with shit from Bay, Abrams and co and endless shitty comic book movies? I mean the action movie is virtually a dead genre now. Jesus.
-
Please kill yourself, Arnie is already working out and looks pretty damn good for 63. You will be a diseased wreck well before then I am sure.

I'd love to see Arnold really up his acting game now he's older.
by Mr Nicholas
-
I hope this new Pathfinder guy directed POS fucking bombs and the rights owners BEG Milius and Arnold to do King Conan. The world needs a new ultra violent Verhoven/Arnold team up. Crusade would be awesome. Release it the same time as the Total Recall remake just to rub their noses in the dirt.
-
1) Cast Arnie in EXPENDABLES 2. His team competing against yours on the same job. Then the two teams join forces for the finale. 2) Get Frank on the soundtrack. Been far too long since we've heard him in one of your movies.
-
I want the Cameron vision for the future war with Skynet! Fucking hate you McG!
-
....please no more schwarnzenbagel movies...that cameo of his in Expendables was so fucking cringe-inducing it reminded me just how bad an actor he is...and why he needs to stay away from the silver screen. Sorry guys...I don't hate the guy, he's just pure ham...
-
Is this a period piece or something completely different?
-
Perfect role for Arnie's return to the movie business.
-
People are going to ask about his Nazi father. They're just GOING to. How can you not? Crusade was the first thing that came to mind btu I don't know how diffused that script will be after Kingdom of Heaven. I haven't read Crusade so I don't know but it will certainly be controvercial. Christians going out and killing Muslims to get a golden ticket into Heaven is a hard sell in a puritanical world that believes Christianity is completely uncorruptible. I assume that's why Kingdom of Heaven downplayed that aspect and made it more of an adventure story.

Supposedly he has a role in the next Terminator film if he wants it
by Jaster
I frankly don't care one way or another. I don't really want an old man terminator. Yes, he was great in the first one, but ever since then has been sort of the Disneyfied version. Well until he "came back" in the last one for a CGI cameo.
-
He wasn't sure if he could get back into film making, but after myself and sly talked him into doing the expendables cameo he knew it was his first love He also personally asked me to write up a few scripts, and he's very interested in allof them
-
...a little classic. And yeah, I couldn't help thinking about a totally fucked-up sequel, with both he and Alyssa M. returning. I would dig that so hard. And give me the Terminator sequel where they send back a terminator to kill McG so his sequel never gets made.
-
But he can get himself into superb shape for any normal human being. Don't count on him taking his shirt off much, but the man is insanely competitive, and would love to shock everyone with his physical condition. Man has access to the world's greatest fitness and health experts, as well as the muscle memory of a seven-times Mr. Olympia. Oh, yeah...he can get enough of it back to be an action hero.
-
Schwarzenegger, not "Schwarzeneggar". On topic, it'd be good to have him back on the big screen.
-
You didn't think so in 2000. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/5700
-
That was ELEVEN years ago. The man's allowed to change his thoughts in eleven years free of penalty or scrutiny.
-
It might revigorate his coolness on the movie screen in ways that his last few films failed to do.
-
Because he's been governor for freaking 8 years! Guy had no time to work-out. Give him some time off to train, and he can be ripped like Stallone.
-
That's all.
-
And you're Mr Olympia, right? Twat. You look like this when you're 63 and you'll be doing alright : - http://gossip.whyfame.com/files/2010/02/arnold_schwarzenegger.jpg

nowah! Ahm vreely exciited tew retuurn tew dah big screen dere. Ah hope dat ahll uv jew vill come tew see me in mah nex pickcha vich ahh vill be filmink soohn.
-
REH's first Conan story centered around an aging King Conan, and the "from Governor to King" PR would've written itself. Of course, sadly, that ship has now sailed. It'll be interesting to see how well Arnold can make the transition back to films. More than any other action star, his career peak really centered around "event" filmmaking. Once he returned to routine action fare, he no longer had the same appeal with audiences.
-
I can't say your absence has been greatly felt for me, but I would rather watch you in some B-level actioner than put up with another Ashton Kutcher or Ben Stiller film.
-
...not bad. You wouldn't want to see it again though. Of course in Cali we have a governor prequel in Jerry Brown. If at first you don't succeed...
-
Absolutely!!! Do this, Arnold!!!

With the Cosmic Cube & the Infinity Gauntlet Showing up in Thor & The Avengers
by Wilford_Brimleys_Diabetes_Rage
Does anyone think That Arnold with a little CGI by Weta would make a pretty good Thanos ???
-
It's a tumah
-
This is the second time in as many Arnold articles where his name has not been spelled correctly. Kind of embarrassing.
-

Yes, but the boat hasn't left the station! There's always room for a Second Coming.
-
You sir, are my hero. Lol
-
Miss Arnie being in the movies..just wish I had a time machine grabbed the Inception script..took out three of the dreams...added at least 10 Arnie one liners and handed it over to him and Cameron in about 1992..that would have made an awesome movie.
-
He'll use the purchased image of Arnold and put it on a body double like young Dude in Tron.
-
I presume you wrote all of them?
-
I've got the book at home but have not read it yet. BTW when is Pillars of the Earth coming out?
-
here's the script anyway: http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine/clarke/38/scripts/WithWingsAsEagles.txt
-
Is a big concern for me. He looked very stiff in the expendables. I was a bit shocked.
-
I've read the script. Its depiction of catholic priests is very uncompomised to say the least. No way will that version from the Wild Bunch writer every be made.
-
Seriously. He's only got a few movies left and you want to see that one? Who is seriously talking about True Lies?
-
From memory was very poor. Jingle all the way, End of Days, The Sixth Day. I never saw them.

Don't doubt Arnold's ability to get back in shape
by Ben_Richards_Bomb_Collar
This guys has been busy with politics. If he wanted to get into good shape and focus only on that, he can do it easily. If Stallone can do it, Arnold can EASILY do it. I think a movie where he could speak his native language would be very interesting.
-
Yes, ma'am!
-
If "Crusade" is the same bla bla Europeans suck they are barbarous hypocrites see how bad they were they are responsible for all that is wrong and evil in the world and in the Middle East, mixed in with some anachronistic atheism and working-class-hero point of view crap, no thanks. Pass. If it's Wings of Eagles, don't know but the sight of Arnold in a German Army uniform (throw some Wagner music in there for background) may just spark some sort of horrifying white supremacist counter revolution which would then lead to the Impending Cannibal Zombie Race War Apocalypse. In which case, hope all of you kids have stocked up on bullets and bottled water. However... If Arnold can get into shape again, it should be for King Conan. The bad taste from this latest reboot coming out should be just about gone by the time Arnold hits the screen again in his first, best starring role. And just in case the sight of a 63 (or 65, by the time they film it) year-old-man running around shirtless may be a little too gruesome, well, they could always throw a shirt of mail on him. After all, I never understood why in these sword and sandal movies, the hero has to prance around in only a loin cloth. If you're constantly getting into knife fights, or full-on battles, you're not going to last in one piece very long without some f***ing ARMOR!!!!! And a HELMET, PLEASE!!!! Aragorn after Helms Deep would be missing an ear, an eye, and a nostril with all those blades swinging around since he didn't wear a bloody HELMET. Old Arnold Fan
-
Arnold movies were the coolest thing when I was a kid, but somewhere along the way he stopped making the really good stuff. I'd love to see him do something awesome again, but I do have to wonder if he's got it in him. That would be great! And I do hope he has a place in Expendables 2... what was there in the first was just the smallest of teases. If Bruce Willis is going to have a larger role, maybe as a villain... Just imagine a movie with Sly and Arnie vs. Bruce! Or maybe he can play General Kirby in that Sam Worthington "Commando" remake they are threatening to unleash upon us. Haha... ahem.
-
When Arnold played a robot? That WAS acting. He really got into the role and developed a whole mode of behavior and movement consistent with a robot, and Cameron was impressed by it. Arnold is naturally very animated and charismatic... playing a robot is a fucking stretch, not something that is natural to him.
-
He's out of toilet paper?

That movie he was the governor of california was good
by JohnWayneWasGay

We already heard him speak his native language on film in Pumping Iron. But that was more chit chat with Franco and a documentary.

Arnold's is all washed up. His action hero days are done.
by Snake Foreskin
He isn't the physical force he used to be. In fact, he looked downright puny next to Stallone in the Expendables. He looks like a weatherbeaten old man now. And he'll never gain any of his once impressive mass back. Stallone looks fantastic for his age. Arnold, not so much. Bruce Willis looked like he would have chewed Arnie up and spit him out in that scene from the Expendables. Which, by the way, was horribly executed. What a waste! Anyway, Arnold's glory days have passed him by. No more action films for him. Now he'll be lucky to find work in comedies. Not even action comedies. Maybe he can start playing the parts typically reserved for Gerard Depardieu.
-
Remember, Arnold's expertise was in LOOKING a particular way...whereas Stallone also had to box, run, jump, etc in addition to "looking" the part. Stallone was never close to "best" either in the way he looked or moved, but was plenty good to be convincing. On the other hand, Arnold was adjudged the best in the world, seven times. If he wants to get in shape, he will. He'll never be what he was, but his ego will probably demand one last "take the shirt off" hurrah.
-
Look at Clint Eastwood. Sure he's mostly behind the camera these days, but he was pretty bad ass in Gran Torino. I just hope he's not reading scripts that involve Christmas, Danny Devito or grade school.
-
All the same kids are cast only now they're 20 years older and run a drug empire. He has to take down each and every single one of them while dealing with his now very real tumors due to being old.
-
The kids are in their late 20s but they are all mentally handicapped with brain tumors due to radiation poisoning. Then we can still have all of the wacky "oh I have to take care of all these slobbering kids" shenanigans before he takes down the bad guys.
-
The "Penis goes in the Vagina" kid is now a serial rapist and Arnie is a bitter broke down cop, beating himself up for not putting it all together 20 years ago.
-
they can use the fact he got old. maybe even show him working back into shape to take out his younger self. Or maybe Harrison Ford will do it if he truly wakes up for Cowboys and aliens

I cannot stop posting this until it happens. Karl Thommason deserves to come back....NOW!
