Arnold Schwarzenegger in talks for Last Stand

It looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger's return to the big screen will not solely consist of Governator riffs.

MovieWeb and Slash Film are both reporting that The Ahnuld is in talks to headline The Last Stand, the English-language debut film for South Korean director Kim Ji-Woon (The Good, the Bad, the Weird).

This would mark Schwarzenegger's first live-action starring role since he was elected governor of California eight years ago. MW describes the film's plot as follows:

"The story will follow the exploits of a drug cartel leader who blasts his way out of a courtroom, steals a car, and heads towards the Mexican border. Arnold Schwarzenegger will play a sheriff with an inexperienced staff who becomes involved with trying to stop the cartel leader from entering Mexico after the two parties inadvertently cross paths."

Liam Neeson was originally going to play the sheriff before leaving the project earlier this year.
