    You gotta be kidding me. Mickey Rourke was laughable. Arnold doesn’t come close to having the acting chops to pull this off. The only guy who comes close is Jason Statham. I know he’s not Welsh but at least he’s from the North.

    This better be a April Fools joke.

    Not just the accent will be the problem.

    Isn’t he too old to play Gareth Thomas!!!

    Better joke would have been to say Kirk Cameron. He would appear believable due to his desperation to get noticed.

    I got fooled :)

    But yes, Jason Statham would be perfect for the role.

      I love Jason Statham. He was an olympic diver at one time so he is also a proper sportsman. I like Arnie too but he is far too old.

  10. The film was first announced on 1st April a couple of years ago, wasn’t it?

    OK I’ll admit it, you had me going for all of 5 seconds!
    Wouldn’t entirely surprise me though given some of the duff movies Arnie’s appeared in. Kindergarten Cop anyone?

  16. Obviously an April Fools, he wouldn’t use that term “girly men” in this context ever again.

  17. Jason Statham has been proposed on here- and he possibly would be a good contender to play Gareth Thomas.

    I wonder if Luke Evans might be a good option? Right age, decent body, Welsh (so accent not a problem) and has the bonus of also being gay and good looking?

  18. How stupid the powers in Hollyweed be? Incredibly stupid!!! Get rid of his Austrian accent? So far he hasn’t been able to. Learn to act? Another no go, there! Never mind the age difference. AHNIE seems to have forgotten he’s way over the hill. And the plastic surgery hasn’t helped. Must be an APRIL FOOLS prank!

    Last night when I tried to comment on this story, it was refused because Pink News thinks 7+9 is something other than 16 …..Who, one wonders is the genius behind that farce?
