Up next, Indiewire caught up with Arnold in New York City for the "Maggie" premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival! In the article he speaks about his decision to make a smaller budgeted indie film, and how he predicted the globalization of the film industry decades ago! But the most exciting part to us is learning that Arnold has been in talks with some big name directors!
Arnold: "I just met Darren Aronofsky while I was in China. He and I talked about whether we could do something together. He's a director who's very talented that I'd love to work with and we may find something. Steven Spielberg and I have talked many times about doing something together. It hasn't happened yet but that doesn't mean it won't. So there are a lot of really creative directors out there. But I also like to go back to the ones I've worked with in the past. I'd love to do another film with Jim Cameron, John McTiernan, Paul Verhoeven, those guys. They've been so good and if you give them with the right project and support them as an actor-producer, if you protect them, they can do extraordinary work. It's just that the way Hollywood works, the new broom sweeps well. It's always about the new guy on the block. The old guys are always being forgotten."
There you have it, Arnold fans! Would you want Arnold to work with these top notch directors in the future? Let us know in the comments below and check out the full Indiewire interview for even more Arnold insights!
