CinemaBlend says:
The Kim Jee-Woon directed action flick Last Stand has been slowly but surely building a solid cast, however the film was short one crucial player: The villain of the film, who may be facing off against Arnold Schwarzenegger at some point, had yet to be cast, until today.

The good guys just got a big boost in the war on drugs —Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The former governor of California returns to the big screen with his first leading role since 2003's Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Schwarzenegger plays a small-town sheriff caught up in a battle with a big-time drug cartel in The Last Stand (due Jan. 18).

The world has become a much stranger place with word that Johnny Knoxville, Forest Whitaker and Luis Guzman have joined the cast of Kim Ji-woon's Arnold Schwarzenegger led picture The Last Stand.
Production is now under way on Kim's modern western with Schwarzenegger in the lead - which leads me to believe Arnold's role in The Expendables 2 is not as large as we have been led to believe as he can't be both places at once - and Eduardo Noriega as the main villain. The casting of Schwarzenegger was already a bold step - can he be believable as a small town sheriff along the Mexican border? - but this supporting cast is a bit mind bending. I've always thought that Knoxville was a better actor than he is given credit for and if Kim can get them to mesh together it'll be something of a coup but, really? A Jackass, Ghost Dog and Terminator in the same movie? Weird.
This is quite the Mishmash of actors. A larger than life Action star with, a goofy latino actor who I never took seriously in any of his roles (especially after Waiting) an Academy Award Winner and the king of Nut Shots.
You've got that right. I think Arni wants his come back to be filled with a variety of character actors and most of them are good actors.
well i hope his role is at least average in the expendables 2 but then again id like a film where he has more focus or should i say "center of attention"
Some new release dates have been announced in the last couple of days, all for films set to hit theaters in 2013 beginning with the long-gestating release of Drew Goddard's The Cabin in the Woods starring Chris Hemsworth (Thor) as a young professional who visits a quaint cabin in the woods with a group of friends and ends up scratching the surface of something so massive and horrific that they can only begin to fathom it as time quickly runs out.
