From Terminator to Governator to Motivator, Arnold Schwarzenegger has shown tremendous growth since first emerging in the public eye more than 50 years ago. Now, he is reflecting on how age, time and experience has changed him.

Ahead of the release of his new book, “Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life”, Arnold Schwarzenegger told People that, now that he is well into his 70s, he has discovered the benefits of redirecting his purpose. “All I’m trying to do is just try to use my talents and help other people. It’s the simple stuff that I do that really helped me get where I am today.” He added, “So today I feel good where I am. I feel I’m much wiser. I’m much smarter. I’m not as crazy. I think more about people. I think more about people’s feelings. In your 20s, you don’t do any of that.

While Expend4bles underperformed at the box office this weekend, the movie might find more of an audience once it hits streaming in the next few months. While I didn’t love the film, I still had a decent enough time with it. Director Scott Waugh, who previously directed Act of Valor and Need for Speed, kept the movie moving quickly and packed it with some good action, including a big fight between bad guy Iko Uwais and Jason Statham’s Lee Christmas. In our exclusive interview, Waugh explains how he made sure the fight was more two-sided than usual for a Statham scrap. Waugh also explains what it was like making an Expend4bles movie where Stallone’s role is pretty small. He also tells us about an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie he’s making, Breakout. He reacts to the surprising success of Hidden Strike, a Jackie Chan/ John Cena movie he...

The programs disappearing from Hulu include 18 titles from Disney’s 20th Television. Those titles, scheduled to be pulled from the platform on September 30, are: Ally McBeal Arrested Development Better Off Ted The Bob Newhart Show Breakout Kings Damien Dollhouse Don’t Trust the B—– in Apt 23 Hill Street Blues Legends Napoleon Dynamite Out There The Practice Second Chance Shots Fired Son of Zorn Speechless Touch Deadline also listed various Fox shows that will leave Hulu, with several disappearing on September 25: Alter Ego (Season 1) Beat Shazam (Seasons 4-5) Cherries Wild (Season 1) Cosmos: Possible Worlds...

This weekend sees the release of Expend4bles (read my review), and its director, Scott Waugh, is already planning a follow-up action movie. This time, instead of Sylvester Stallone, he’s tearing up with another action icon: Arnold Schwarzenegger. As previously reported, the film, Breakout, stars Arnold as “Terry Reynolds. When his stepson, Daniel, is framed and sentenced to 25 years in a foreign country, Reynolds makes a daring jailbreak to save him and must overcome an overzealous prison warden in a race against time to avoid capture and flee the country.”

Recently, we spoke to Waugh and asked him about making Arnold’s latest. While he admitted that the strikes have brought the film to a temporary stop, he seems excited about its possibilities: “I think Breakout’s gonna be a really cool movie for Arnold. It’s really gonna get back to real hard Arnold. There’s not much comedy...

Stern Pinball posted a new video (below) teasing its upcoming table, which we’ve heard is appearing at San Diego Comic-Con next week.

Europe has a brand-new media giant.

Vuelta Group, a private-equity fueled company headed by former Canal+ and Goldman Sachs executive Jerome Levy, made a very big launch on the European scene on Thursday, announcing its acquisition of Scandinavian independent film company Scanbox, German distributor/producer SquareOne Entertainment and French international sales company Playtime.

Vuelta (Latin for “to go around”) is planning future acquisitions in France, Italy, Spain and the Benelux region as it looks to build a pan-European television and film studio focusing on the production and distribution of European content across the continent.

The Vuelta launch is a further sign of consolidation in the European indie market, which has already seen several independent producers and distributors subsumed into Pe-backed studios such as Leonine and Mediawan or snatched up by global indie giants like Fremantle and Banijay.

The Veulta setup will see each of its subsidiary companies continue to operate...

Exclusive: SquareOne Entertainment CEO Al Munteanu says new European studio Vuelta Group is about “distributors who morph into producers — that’s our DNA, believing in film as a theatrical proposition, but also in TV production.”

As Deadline revealed this morning, Munich-based SquareOne has become part of Vuelta Group, a union of European film companies also including France’s Playtime and Scandinavia’s Scanbox, with more companies set to join this year.

SquareOne, founded by Munteanu in 2002, is well known as a distributor of movies including The Imitation Game, Book Club and The Wife. Recent Cannes market pre-buys include Breakout starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nic Cage’s sequel to Lords of War, and Daisy Ridley starrer Cleaner.

Munteanu, the former MTV and Rtl presenter, has been growing SquareOne’s TV (and podcasting) production footprint in recent years with the German adaptation of Your Honor, starring Sebastian Koch and Paula Beer, and Italian mafia series L’Ora.

Exclusive: A significant shakeup in the European indie film space is underway with the formation of new studio Vuelta Group, Deadline can reveal.

Headed by French media veteran Jerome Levy as Group Chairman, Vuelta has $50 million-backing from an unnamed U.S. private equity firm and has recently acquired Paris-based international sales firm Playtime Group (in a deal closed in the past week), German distributor-producer SquareOne and Nordic distributor-producer Scanbox.

Talks are underway for companies to join from Italy, Spain and Benelux, as well as another from France.

Amid the proliferation of platforms in Europe and consolidation from fellow U.S.-backed indie studios such as Leonine and Mediawan, Vuelta’s partners have taken the view that they’ll be stronger together.

The joint venture will focus on distribution as well as film and TV production. Each company will continue to operate autonomously and with their former branding but they will sit within the Vuelta Group,...

Arnold Schwarzenegger is open to joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe if the perfect role comes his way.

Breaking his four-year acting hiatus, Schwarzenegger is set to make a big return to the silver screen with the movie “Breakout”, as reported by Deadline last month.

Teaming up with director Scott Waugh, “Breakout” is an adrenaline-fueled film where Schwarzenegger portrays Terry Reynolds, a determined man on a mission to free his stepson from a foreign prison.

Hollywood icon Arnold Schwarzenegger has discussed the origin and the legacy of his most famous catchphrase, “I’ll be back,” revealing that he thought it “sounded stupid.” Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Schwarzenegger explains how he fought against the line while filming the first The Terminator back in 1984, arguing with director James Cameron over how it should be delivered.

“I think about how it was an accident. [Terminator director] Jim Cameron and I were debating how to say the line because I was not comfortable with saying “I’ll.” I said, “I think it’s stronger to say, ‘I will be back.’ ” Cameron said, “Are you the scriptwriter now? It’s just one word. Don’t tell me how to write. I don’t tell you how to act.” I said, “You tell me how to act every fucking minute! What are you talking about?!” So he says, “Arnold, you think it sounds weird.

The legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger won’t let age slow him down. The action icon is 75 years old but stays as motivated as he always has been. This motivation, which once led to his famous physique and an impressive Governor win, is why he will be seen in a new Netflix action comedy series, Fubar, a new introspective documentary, Arnold, a new action film Breakout, and a new self-help book, Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life. The Hollywood Reporter sits down with Schwarzenegger as he gets incredibly candid about his feelings on movies, politics, and his personal life.

One inevitable topic of discussion is Arnold’s future with the Terminator movies. When asked if the series was finished after the dismal reaction to Terminator: Dark Fate, Schwarzenegger feels the franchise will go on, but without him. “The franchise is not done. I’m done. I got the message loud and clear...

The timely action-thriller, set in present-day London, will see radical activists take over an energy company’s annual gala at the Shard – the tallest skyscraper in Western Europe – seizing 300 hostages in order to expose the corruption of the hosts.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has been a significant cultural force in Hollywood for more than 40 years, taking time out to launch a political career and generally conquer the world during that time. After becoming arguably the greatest bodybuilder to ever do it, Arnie parlayed his bodybuilding fame into Hollywood stardom, becoming one of the biggest action stars in the industry.

The streamer has released a trailer for "Arnold," which is set to debut next month and promises to unveil previously unseen footage of the Austrian Oak, alongside candid interviews with Schwarzenegger and various friends.

“When his stepson is framed and sentenced to 25 years in a foreign country, Reynolds makes a daring jailbreak to save him and must overcome an overzealous prison warden in a race against time to avoid capture and flee the country,” as per Deadline‘s report of the synopsis.

The “big-budget project” is Schwarzenegger’s first feature since 2019′s “Terminator: Dark Fate”. Up next, the actor will star in the Netflix series “Fubar”, premiering next month, while “Kung Fury 2”, shot in 2019, remains in post-production.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is finally returning to the action genre four years after his last film. "Breakout," a prison escape thriller from director Scott Waugh, is currently set to begin shooting later this year, according to Deadline. The film will end up marking the first time Schwarzenegger has appeared on the big screen since 2019, when he starred in the legacy sequel "Terminator: Dark Fate." Although the former action superstar and ex-governor of California has a number of additional projects in the works, "Breakout" seems to be the most classically Schwarzenegger-ian action movie on his docket and places the actor in the lead role.

Schwarzenegger famously stepped away from the limelight to pursue his political career for several years, prior to returning to acting. He made a small cameo in 2010's "The Expendables," which released near the end of his governorship, before becoming part of the main cast in the next two sequels.

A new Arnold Schwarzenegger action flick called Breakout, which he's making with The Expendables 4 director Scott Waugh, will be the actor's first film role in over four years. Schwarzenegger was last seen on the big screen in 2019's Terminator: Dark Fate, which was the sixth installment in the Terminator franchise that has spanned three and a half decades and owes much of its success to the star power of Schwarzenegger.

According to Deadline, Schwarzenegger, who will also star in the upcoming Netflix series Fubar, will be making his theatrical return as the leading man in the new action thriller which will center on stepdad Terry Reynolds, played by Schwarzenegger. The film follows Reynolds as he attempts to save his stepson Daniel after the latter is framed for a crime he didn't commit.
