Just An Actor Now

With the Governorship now behind him, Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to get back to making films.

He tells the Austrian publication Krone.at (via TheArnoldFans.com):


"Currently I'm reading three scripts. One topic/script, which I considered a long time ago before governor, is delighting me particularly. In it I would play an older soldier, who gets the order at the ending of the war to kill a bunch of kids. But he doesn't do it and get them to safety at the risk of his life and it has all kind of adventure. This script is based on a true story!" he says.

He's referring to is the  Randall Wallace’-scripted "With Wings As Eagles" which is based on the true life story about a German officer who does not agree with his surrounding Nazi party and instead helps the American POWs escape.

Arnie adds that age limitations mean he can't be the man of action he once was - "In the future I have to adapt my roles to my age. "Clint Eastwood also has done it in the same way. Extreme fighting or shooting is not possible anymore. I want to be more encouraged as an actor and I believe that I can manage this challenge. I am like a sponge, which is absorbing all the knowledge and always be willing to learn all new things."
