Arnold Schwarzenegger Back In “The Last Stand”

Arnold Schwarzenegger Back In “The Last Stand”

Former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is to make his return as a Hollywood leading man in Western movie The Last Stand.

Studio Lionsgate said the 63-year-old would “bring incredible magnetism” to the role of a border-town sheriff who battles with a drug lord.

The Last Stand will be Schwarzenegger’s first major film role since 2003′s Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.

The actor, who left office in January, had a cameo in 2010′s The Expendables.

Lionsgate president Joe Drake said Schwarzenegger “electrified the audience” in The Expendables, in which he appeared alongside fellow action veteran Sylvester Stallone.

“In this film, the Sheriff Owens character grapples with some really tough stuff but ultimately triumphs and we knew he’d truly elevate this high-octane ride,” he added.

No release date has been announced for the film, which will be directed by South Kora’s Kim Jee-woon.

Tsunami Hits Japan

A massive earthquake has hit the north-east of Japan, triggering a tsunami that has caused extensive damage.

Japanese television showed cars, ships and even buildings being swept away by a vast wall of water after the 8.9-magnitude earthquake.

The quake has sparked fires in several areas including Tokyo. At least 32 people were killed, officials said.

It struck about 250 miles (400km) from the capital at a depth of 20 miles. There have been powerful aftershocks.

The tremor, measured at 8.9 by the US Geological Survey, hit at 1446 local time (0546 GMT). Seismologists say it is one of the largest earthquakes to hit Japan for many years.

A tsunami warning was extended across the Pacific to New Zealand in the south and North and South America to the east.

The Red Cross in Geneva warned that the tsunami waves could be higher than some Pacific islands, Reuters news agency said.

Coastal areas in the Philippines, Hawaii and other Pacific islands were evacuated ahead of the tsunami’s expected arrival.
