LOS ANGELES - Arnold Schwarzenegger has reset to zero the film to mark his return to the big screen: "Cry Macho," a drama about a down on his luck horses coach who is committed to remove a 9 year old boy.
Filming is set to begin in September. Brad Furman ("the Lincoln lawyer") lead. Producer Al Ruddy, a winner of the Oscar for "The godfather" and "Million Dollar Baby," maintain the project for years.
"I guarantee that you will get another look at Arnold Schwarzenegger, in the film" Ruddy said. "Arnold always plays these big muscle guys, but there is a sweetness to Arnold in real life, and we want to make this smooth screen." Now that Brad met Arnold, it is satisfied there are accessibility and vulnerability it he wants to highlight. ?
Funder of the project, QED International, will begin to offer international buyers at the Cannes Festival next week.
Deal of Schwarzenegger calls to the actor to receive $ 12.5 million more than 25% since the first dollar gross ticket sales. Ruddy and Schwarzenegger ends also in the negative on the film co-owning.
While the former Governor is also attached to a package of "Terminator" which is available to studios, with "Macho", it is opting for a film which is more a study of nature as a piece of the action all-out - although some elements of action have been added to take account of the star.
The film is based on the novel of 1975, "cry Macho," by n. Richard Nash, who also wrote the play The Rainmaker. Nash, who died in 2000, wrote the script, Ruddy was re-optioned over the years.
"I just would never let go of it," said Ruddy, 81. Actors ranging from Burt Lancaster to Pierce Brosnan expressed his interest in the lead role. And, at a given time, it seemed that Clint Eastwood could star in and direct.
Because he did not want to lose control of the property, Ruddy said, he has never taken in a studio, but has continued to seek ways for the package independently.
Schwarzenegger, 63, will play Mike, a trainer of horses including woman and her son is dead. His former boss made him an over, he does may not refuse: $400,000 to remove the sons of trust funds of the boss, who lives with his ex-wife in the Mexico. But when Mike locates the boy, a real troublemaker, the ex-wife wants not only to the kid. But that Mike and head boy in the States, with the Federales in their path, they develop a father-son bond.
""If it works, and I think that it will be,"has said Ruddy,"this could be a classic."" He has emotional line of history which really works. At the end of the film, I hope the public will laugh and cry at the same time. ?
