If you’re not following us on our social media sites, you may have missed some Arnold news so let's get you caught up. We have a movie update on “Aftermath” and other Arnold tidbits including a new book foreword, an animated Terminator film pitch and a recent sighting of Schwarzenegger at Muscle Beach in California.
Muscle Beach Photoshoot
On December 12th 2016, Arnold Schwarzenegger visited the world famous Muscle Beach Gym in Venice, California. It’s world famous because Arnold and his era of bodybuilders, put it on the map. On this day, Arnold and some of his Gold’s Gym friends met up to take a photoshoot for the cover of an upcoming Muscle & Fitness magazine (possibly the March 2017 issue). In the background of the photo, a new banner reads “Muscle Beach History Museum: Coming Soon”. There better be a huge Arnold statue out front by the time it opens!
"Aftermath" Acquired By UK Distributor Signature Films
Signature Films are about to reach their fifth anniversary and they have decided to celebrate by continuing their partnership with Emmett Furla Oasis Films by acquiring UK distribution for Arnold’s thriller Aftermath which is now currently set for release in early 2017. Emmett Furla Oasis Films have also operated as a production company on Arnold and Sylvester Stallone’s film Escape Plan and are set to collaborate with Arnold in the same capacity for the Pump television drama series.
Aftermath also stars Maggie Grace who has previously starred in the Taken trilogy, Hannah Ware from Oldboy and Hitman: Agent 47, Glenn Morshower having starred in the TV series 24 as well as video games such as Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Mo McRae who has starred in Gridiron Gang and the TV series Sons of Anarchy, alongside an entire talented cast of actors and actresses.
Arnold Writes Foreword for New Book "Tools of Titans"
Arnold has written a foreword and also has a chapter within the second part of a book by number 1 New York Times best selling author Tim Ferriss titled Tools of Titans. The subtitle really explains a lot about the angle of the book “The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers”. It is also important to note that a portion of the profits from Tools of Titans will be donated to After-School All-Stars.
Arnold’s foreword also includes photographs with his idols and heroes. You can read Arnold’s foreword HERE and you can purchase Tools of Titans from the official website of the book HERE!
Animated Terminator Film Trailer Pitch
A trailer for an animated Terminator film by Bruce Stirling John Knox has been released to pitch the idea of an animated film via YouTube. The trailer graphically and atmospherically depicts a distant future in which the resistance fighters have defeated the machines, but then a conflict began in which humans split apart into factions and fought each other before having to reunite to face the returning threat of machines who had survived in small clusters throughout the planet.
Hopefully the quality of animated visuals and excellent narration in harmony with the positive response the trailer has received by achieving almost 70,000 views within a matter of days renews the potential of an animated Terminator film. We hope Bruce Stirling John Knox’s amazing work sees the light of day as a full animated Terminator film, set at the age rating that long-time Terminator fans would prefer and with Arnold being a key part of the project by providing his likeness and voice.
