Get ready for the bad guys of The Last Stand! The villains are now walking down the red carpet and are stopping off one at a time to speak with TheArnoldFans. I hope we don't piss them off. Not only did we speak with the lead villain, Gabriel Cortez, played by Edward Noriega, we also chatted with "the man in the orange suit" played by Billy Blair and the very psychotic Burrell, played by one very awesome Peter Stormare.
TheArnoldFans: What do you think about Arnold coming back to films after so many years out of the industry?
Peter Stormare: This is where he proves to Hollywood and his fans that he's back. Well, his fans are always with him but within the industry...this is like his Spencer Tracey. He's created a character where it's not all about the one-liner or flexing his muscles. He's come back with a big bang.
TheArnoldFans: What are your top three Arnold movies?
Peter Stormare: It's got to be Conan, of course. The Terminator and Total Recall.
Billy Blair, who plays "The Man in the Orange Suit" tells us that he's a big Arnold fan and that Schwarzenegger is "humble". When asked for his top three Arnold films, he admits he loves Conan but also throws in The Terminator and Kindergarten Cop.
TheArnoldFans: What's it like to take on Arnold Schwarzenegger and fight this iconic man of action?
Edward Noriega: The first time they told me I got to fight against Arnold Schwarzenegger, The Terminator, The Governator, the Big Guy, I was a bit scared but I have to say he's a really nice guy. He makes everything easy. It was nice working with him. It's wonderful for me to be a part of this action film. Arnold is a great artist and he doesn't even have to speak.
TheArnoldFans: Arnold is coming back as Conan in a new 2014 film. Are you excited?
Edward Noriega: Arnold coming back as Conan is great news for action movies. I'm a big fan of them. Arnold shot Conan in Spain and we're huge fans of him.
Gene Simmons from KISS even walked the carpet to show his support for Arnold. Simmons says he dosent want to do a soundtrack for a future Arnold film because he'd rather be the bad guy to take on Schwarzenegger!
After the film, Brandon and I ventured over to the After-Party where we mingled more with these on-screen villains and even meet some other bad guys who were NOT in the film including Derek Mears (one hell of a cool guy), who plays Jason Voorhees in the new Friday the 13th films, Terminator Salvation's Roland Kickinger, BAM from Jackass, and Neal McDonough (Quarles), the lead villain of Justified Season 2. What an incredibly fun night to hang out with some true bad-asses! However we were not sure why there were so many BAD guys here at a party for a film so GOOD!
Speaking of parties, don't forget to join the "Last Stand Big Fan" celebration happening this weekend! Here's your invitation!
