    He's back! Arnold Schwarzenegger returns to movies

    LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Arnold Schwarzenegger is changing his famous catch-phrase to "I'm back" from "I'll be back."
    The former governor of California said on Thursday that he was returning to his former role as a Hollywood action hero.

    "Exciting news," he wrote on Twitter. "My friends at CAA (Creative Artists Agency, his talent firm) have been asking me for 7 years when they can take offers seriously. Gave them the green light today."

    The 63-year-old actor's two terms as governor of America's most populous state ended last month, leading to much speculation as to whether he would upgrade to national political office or return to the silver screen.
    In between failed efforts to plug a state deficit now pegged at about $25 billion, Schwarzenegger took time to make a few movie cameos, most recently as a mercenary leader in pal Sylvester Stallone's hit action thriller "The Expendables."

    His movie career had been on the wane before he announced a surprise bid for the governorship in 2003, running as a moderate Republican.
    Movies such as "End of Days" (1999), "The 6th Day" (2000) and "Collateral Damage" (2002) each failed to hit $100 million at the North American box office. Only when he reprised his title role in the third "Terminator" movie, in 2003, did he pull in blockbuster numbers.

    Schwarzenegger originated the ominous line "I'll be back" in the first "Terminator" film in 1984, and it has become his trademark phrase for all occasions.

    He returns to film as Hollywood suffers from a lack of brawny, laconic action men. The new breed of action hero is perhaps typified by Matt Damon, the mild-mannered headliner of the "Bourne" franchise.

    Oh! I'm going to start waking at 2 a.m. just so I can get to the news before you!

    I'd love to see Arnold move into movie roles similar to what Clint Eastwood played in his 60's. Schwarzenegger can definitely make an impact on Hollywood in his golden years.

    Eastwood was born in 1930 so any movie Clint did after 1990 would be equivalent or prime for Arnold to emulate, imo.

    2008 Gran Torino
    Walt Kowalski

    2004 Million Dollar Baby
    Frankie Dunn

    2002 Blood Work
    Terry McCaleb



    2000 Space Cowboys
    Frank Corvin



    1999 True Crime
    Steve Everett

    1997 Absolute Power
    Luther Whitney



    1995 The Bridges of Madison County
    Robert Kincaid

    1993 A Perfect World
    Chief Red Garnett

    1993 In the Line of Fire
    Frank Horrigan

    1992 Unforgiven
    Bill Munny



    1990 The Rookie
    Nick Pulovski

    1990 White Hunter Black Heart
    John Wilson

    I haven't seen all those flicks, but the ones I have make it clear to me that an older actor can bring in a movie audience! Best of luck to Ahnuld on his return to the silver screen!
