Arnold Schwarzenegger tells Hollywood ‘I’ll be back’
“Exciting news,” he wrote on Twitter. “My friends at CAA (Creative Artists Agency, his talent firm) have been asking me for 7 years when they can take offers seriously. Gave them the green light today.”
The 63-year-old actor came to the end of his two terms as governor of California last month, leading to much speculation as to whether he would upgrade to national political office or return to the silver screen.
The star of Terminator, dubbed “The Governator”, had kept his acting career going while in office.
In between failed efforts to plug a say deficit now pegged at about $25 billion, Schwarzenegger took time to make a few motion picture cameos, most recently as a mercenary leader in pal Sylvester Stallone’s hit action thriller “The Expendables.”
His motion picture career had been on the wane before he announced a surprise bid for the governorship in 2003, running as a moderate Republican.
Schwarzenegger delivered the ominous line “I’ll be back” in the first “Terminator” film in 1984, and it has become his trademark phrase.
He returns to film as Hollywood suffers from a lack of brawny, laconic action men. The new breed of action hero is perhaps typified by Matt Damon, the mild-mannered headliner of the “Bourne” franchise.
