Lionsgate have just confirmed that The Last Stand - Arnie's comeback vehcile after his time as Governor of California, - now has a scheduled release date of January 18, 2013. The film, to be directed by Kim Jee-Woon, takes place in a US border town where a disgraced Los Angeles cop takes a job to forget his past. Naturally that doesn't last when things are complicated by the arrival of a druglord and his violent entourage and a hostage. It's now up to our hero to stop the bad guy making it to the border...
Recent events (revelations of Schwarzanegger having a love child and his subsequent split from wife Maria Shriver) led to Arnold stepping away from his major cinematic plans (including a possible Terminator revival) but The Last Stand looks to be the first steps to him returning to the industry in which he made his fortune.
