Arnold Schwarzenegger has two post-Expendables movies lined up, and currently they both seem remarkably similar, as both have Arnold as an unlikely hero going up against a small army of bad guys in the desert. Turns out one of them just got a little weirder though…
So following The Last Stand—the Lionsgate film about Sheriff Arnold stopping an escaped drug kingpin as he blazes through town with his army of henchmen–Schwarzenegger is set to star in Black Sands, about a guy who takes it upon himself to destroy the operations of a southwestern weapons manufacturer. Little is known about this second film, but word is that ArnoldFans.com managed to corner the former Governor and get him to acknowledge his role and that his character “is kind of an angel,” before refusing to say more. The site goes on to say the film is being compared to Constantine and Commando, though it’s unclear if they’re actually got a source on that comparison, or if are just leaping on the “angel” comment.
The one interesting note is that the film’s PR firm has apparently corrected the site on their incorrect (and widely picked-up) news that the title had changed to Black Sunday (it’s still Black Sands), but apparently didn’t feel the need to dispel any supernatural rumors…
While we’ve got more than a year to wait for The Last Stand, filming on Black Sands will begin in April, so it shouldn’t be too long before we hear more definitively just what the hell is up with this movie. I hope so, because a very few words are being stretched a very long way at present…
