While the domestic take for Escape Plan might only reach 25 million, due to horrible promotion, the Sly/Schwarzenegger film is a much bigger success overseas! BoxOfficeMojo.com reports that the current worldwide take hit nearly 87 million (well over the film’s budget). China alone just added over 20 million for a very successful “Schwarzie” opening!
There has been a lot of show business chatter on casting prospective for "Terminator 5" and here is what The Arnold Fans can tell you, so far. Obviously, Arnold has confirmed personally to The Arnold Fans via a San Diego Comic Con 2013 red carpet interview that he will be involved, which is amazing since he confirmed to us he would play the Terminator role. But to understand the casting rumors means the fans have to understand the plot direction this movie could go.
It was another flex-citing Halloween party for Arnold fans! For our 12th online costume party here at TheArnoldFans, you partied online with us while submitting your great costumes! ArnoCorps was blaring in our ears, stogies hit our lips and our eyes (some with red contact lenses) were treated to some fantastic character outfits.
The bad news is that Arnold shaved his awesome beard. The good news is that he did it for a very good cause: to clean up and look presentable in Washington, DC. Here he spoke with Senator Boxer, Senator Reid and other heroic politicians in attempts to fight for after-school program funding. The Oak, as many of you know, is the founder of the After-School All-Stars (ASAS), which provides comprehensive after-school programs that keep children safe and help them succeed in school and life.
We continue our coverage of the red carpet premiere of Escape Plan with our interview with a fantastic actor who brings a lot to his role as the warden: Jim Caviezel! I admire this guy a lot and can't think of a role he hasn't been great in, from Frequency to Deja Vu, and of course as Jesus in Passion of the Christ. The role of the antagonist, or villain, is a key role in any movie like this, and Caviezel goes all in...
It looks like that sequel to "Twins" is in the very close future, according to actor Josh Gad. Gad, who was recently in the Steve Jobs biopic "Jobs" and Disney's "Frozen", is co-writing the script with a Ray Dixon and focusing on the two brothers, played by Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger, meeting their improbable third brother, portrayed by Eddie Murphy.
Looking to add another piece of "Terminator" swag to your Cyberdyne-sized fortress? Then check out the "Terminator Vault" book, which is a behind-the-scenes look at the first and second movies in the epic film series! Boasting "a plethora of stills, concept art, storyboards and never-seen-before minutiae"...
During the New York red carpet premiere of Escape Plan, I had the opportunity and honor of interviewing Faran Tahir, one of the lead characters, who has some very funny and impressive scenes along with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Tahir plays Javed, a Muslim inmate "disappeared" for life in the top secret Tomb prison.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is not big on sleep or restrictions or rest. The Oak is always on the go and he has no desire to ever slow. Not only does he have Escape Plan out in theaters now and Sabotage out in April of 2014, he also just finished filming his latest zombie project! MAGGIE, directed by Henry Hobson, just wrapped on Friday, October 25th. That's right, we have two more guaranteed Schwarzenegger films coming our way in 2014!
Brandon Krum here with some tales of high adventure! It was Tuesday, October 15th at around 7pm. The Gillinator and I were positioned at our prime spot INSIDE the theater lobby during the Escape Plan Premier right next to the likes of MTV and other TV journalists! We had the opportunity to talk to some of the films biggest names, including Arnold himself!
