Schwarzenegger: New movie is me at my most vulnerable

There are a number of very good reasons why Arnold Schwarzenegger has remained an incredibly successful movie star over the last four decades. Acting is not one of them...

That may all be about to change with new zombie film, Maggie. Schwarzenegger plays a small-town farmer whose daughter is slowly turning into a cannibalistic zombie. As predictably ludicrous as that synopsis may sound, this is no crude B-movie. The 67-year-old is earning rave reviews for his underplayed and multilayered performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWU0D9K1g5E The former Governor of California explained what first attracted him to the project: “When my team brought me this script...I was intrigued. You’re used to seeing me play the ‘ubermensch’, the action hero bullets can’t seem to hit. In Maggie, I am the every man...savouring every last second with his daughter," said Arnold. “When I read it, I knew I had to do it. It is more vulnerable than any role I have played, more real, more emotional.” The themes of the film are grief, terminal illness, and the undying bond between parent and child. All a far cry from his previous canon, or indeed his recent meerkat advert.
