If you’ve seen The Good, The Bad, The Weird then you know what kind of wild action is in store for Kim Ji-woon‘s Hollywood debut The Last Stand. Bringing along one of Hollywood’s biggest stars of the genre, Arnold Schwarzenegger, we’ve got the first poster for the film today which sees the icon standing tall as Sheriff of a town, which is about to be invaded by some nasty criminals. The film, described as a mix of Die Hard and High Noon, will have a trailer released later this week and attached to The Expendables 2, but for now check out the poster below via IGN.
Synopsis:
After leaving his LAPD narcotics post following a bungled operation that left him wracked with remorse and regret, Sheriff Ray Owens (Schwarzenegger) moved out of Los Angeles and settled into a life fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy border town Sommerton Junction. But that peaceful existence is shattered when Gabriel Cortez (Eduardo Noriega), the most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the western hemisphere, makes a deadly yet spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy. With the help of a fierce band of lawless mercenaries led by the icy Burrell (Peter Stormare), Cortez begins racing towards the US-Mexico border at 250 mph in a specially-outfitted Corvette ZR1 with a hostage in tow. Cortez’ path: straight through Summerton Junction, where the whole of the U.S. law enforcement, including Agent John Bannister (Forest Whitaker) will have their final opportunity to intercept him before the violent fugitive slips across the border forever. At first reluctant to become involved, and then counted out because of the perceived ineptitude of his small town force, Owens ultimately rallies his team and takes the matter into his own hands, setting the stage for a classic showdown.
Also starring Forest Whitaker, Johnny Knoxville, Jaimie Alexander, Luis Guzman, Peter Stormare and Genesis Rodriguez, The Last Stand arrives on January 18th, 2013.
