Several Years Later, Arnold Schwarzenegger is BACK!
All of the grandparents of the world grab their scooters and head for the theaters whenever a new Clint Eastwood or Jack Nicholson picture is released. Mark my words, our generation will be doing the same for Christian Bale, Tom Cruise, and especially Arnold Schwarzenegger. Wait, did I just say Schwarzenegger? Heck yes I did! He said he’d be back…
This afternoon the star of Predator, Terminator, Total Recall and 400 other incredible action movies (we’ll let Junior slide) announced via Twitter that he’s ready to return to his rightful place in front of the camera.
“Exciting news. My friends at CAA have been asking me for 7 years when they can take offers seriously. Gave them the green light today,” said an excited Schwarzenegger.
Waiting for his return was much like counting down the days until the Olsen twins turned 18…
He most recently appeared in Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables in a cameo alongside Stallone and Bruce Willis.
This news has set the internet on storm with speculation on what he’ll do next. Shall I suggest a reunion with James Cameron on a film NOT titled Avatar?

R-Rated ‘The X-Files: I Want to Believe’ Director’s Cut Gets New Title and Streaming Premiere Date
After a slight delay, Disney has finally announced a new streaming date for the R-Rated director’s cut of The X-Files: I Want to Believe. According to Gizmodo, it’ll also come with a new title.
The X-Files: I Want to Believe Vrach Frankenshteyn begins streaming on Hulu on August 14.
The new cut was first teased in an interview with director Chris Carter on the Fail Better With David Duchovny podcast from last year, where he teased a much scarier movie he intended.
“Now I have a chance to go back and make the scary movie that I always intended to make,” Carter explained last year. “It’s not just doing a Director’s Cut to do a Director’s Cut. It’s really kind of bringing to life something that for me was on the page and never got to the screen.“
The director’s cut of the film was initially set to arrive on Disney+ in June, but quietly disappeared from the schedule without a word. Polygon reported the delay was “due to some last-minute adjustments being made to the film.”
The release’s new “Vrach Frankenshteyn” title certainly suggests those adjustments have been made, likely referring to a Frankensteining of bonus footage.
In the film, Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) have been out of the FBI for several years, with Mulder living in isolation and Scully having become a doctor at a Catholic hospital, where she has formed a bond with a critically ill child patient.
When an FBI agent is mysteriously kidnapped, and a former Catholic priest who has been convicted of pedophilia claims to be experiencing psychic visions of the endangered agent, Scully is asked to bring Mulder back to the bureau to consult on the case because of his work with psychics.
The brand new R-rated cut will “faithfully restore the filmmaker’s original vision.”
Look for it on Hulu next month.
