"The Last Stand" doesn't even nearly as much action, judging from the script alone.
"The Last Stand" doesn't even nearly as much action, judging from the script alone.
But there's a character named Lewis Dinkum, who's a reclusive, paranoid, and fiercely independent guy who lives by himself in Sommerton Junction. He has been hoarding stockpiles of weapons in his house for years. Lewis is a believer in nearly every conspiracy theory he has read on the internet, and he is determined to make sure that he can protect himself in the event of an alien invasion. That when the town is on the verge of being overrun by gangs, Sheriff Owens convinces Lewis to allow the local police officers to borrow all of his machine guns. In return, Sheriff Owens makes Lewis an official deputy.
http://www.latinoreview.com/news/exclusive-rodrigo-santoro-in-talks-to-join-the-last-stand-14874Rodrigo Santoro, best known for his role as Xerses in 300 is in talks to join Arnold Schrwarzenegger's comeback vehicle THE LAST STAND.
The Last Stand is about a Drug Cartel leader who busts out of a courthouse and speeds toward the Mexican border----and the only thing standing in his path is a sheriff and his rookie staff.
Santoro's role would be FRANK MARTINEZ one of the cops on the rookie staff.
According to a casting breakdown, Frank Martinez is described as Latino, 20s - 30s. An outgoing, laid-back, and personable man who also works as a police officer in Sommerton Junction under Sheriff Ray Owens. He is reliable but likes to occasionally cut loose and party when he has the chance. Frank is good buddies with his fellow officer Jerry. The two of them enjoy hunting together on weekends. Frank soon encounters the worst problem his town has ever had when violent gangs with ties to a drug cartel begin rampaging through the town.
Scheduled to go into production next month, the script was written by Andrew Knauer and Jeffrey Nachmanoff, with current revisions being done by George Nolfi.
It will be directed by Jee-woon Kim.
