Cinescape.com posted an item today from the L.A. Times saying that : SLY and ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER have been talking about working on a project together. ARNOLD wants an all-star ensemble cast movie, ala “The Great Escape.” SLY is said to prefer that they appear as adversaries. It’s further reported that it all comes down to when the two agree on a script for the project.
What’s interesting to me about this item, is that the SZ reported (via AIN’T IT COOL NEWS) almost the exact same thing way back on December 12, 1999. The question now becomes: is this the same item finally making it’s way to the “mainstream” press or has their been further movement towards the project coming to fruition? Stay tuned for further details!
