Although it’s still not certain whether the world wants Arnold Schwarzenegger back in cinemas following his sejourn into politics, we’re getting him, as he’s currently filming The Tomb, will appear in The Expendables 2, being released in August, and stars in The Last Stand, which will be released in January 2013. Now he’s lined up another movie, Ten.
David Ayer (End Of Watch) will direct from an original screenplay by Skip Woods (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, A Good Day to Die Hard). In Ten, an elite DEA task force deals with the world’s deadliest drug cartels. Specialising in complex mobile operations, the team executes a tactical raid on a cartel safe house. What looks to be a typical raid turns out to be an elaborate theft operation, pre-planned by the DEA squad. After hiding millions in stolen cash, the team believes their secret is safe – until someone begins assassinating them one by one.
“I am really excited about this project and the team that’s come together,” said Schwarzenegger. “David Ayer is incredibly talented and exactly what I want for a story this compelling.” Shooting should start later this year.
