A western star with an Austrian accent?
I’ve read this. It’s a contemporary action Western, and a pretty run of the mill B movie.
Lionsgate makes some interesting movies, but most of their stuff is direct to video. If Schwarzenegger is going with them, then the A-List companies (e.g., Paramount, Sony, etc) won’t touch him.
Maybe Arnold and Mel (Gibson) can console each other.
I’ll feel sorry for that Korean director if this is a total flop.

Read my lips...no I will not spend money to watch this person and haven’t for a very long time.
“...and now you know why Lili von Schtupp was tired.”
Please. Scandals mean little if anything in terms of box office draw. The real test is that Arnold is old and worn out. There may be some novelty factor in seeing him on the screen but no one goes to see a Schwarzenegger movie like they used to in the late 80s / early 90s.
Not a single FReeper (yet) recalls Ah-nolds first foray into westerns?
Hint: Kirk Douglas played the bad guy.
Strike one-A Western
Strike two-Schwazenegger
Strke three-A Koren director of a Western.
Bombs away!
I’ll never understand how it never happened that Arnold played John Christian Falkenberg. Jerry Pournell’s “Falkenberg’s Legion” stories would have fit Arnold like a glove.
