California Special Election: No Westworld for Arnold

The California Special Election this November better be worth it.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has turned down the opportunity to co-produce and star in the remake of the 1973 Michael Crichton sci-fi thriller, Westworld.

The remake of sci-fi thriller “Westworld” is going ahead without the Governator. Arnold Schwarzenegger was to have co-produced and appeared in the movie, but those plans were put aside after his 2003 election.

The trade paper Daily Variety reported Friday that a director has been chosen for the remake: Tarsem Singh, who directed the 2000 thriller “The Cell” starring Jennifer Lopez.

Schwarzenegger, who starred in the “Terminator” and “Conan” movies, has not held any discussions about involvement with the film, his representative said Friday.

“It’s not even on the governor’s radar right now,” spokeswoman Sheryl Main said. “He’s concentrating on the special election that’s coming up in November. That is not even a blip on the screen.”

There’s no word on when “Westworld” might start production or be released.

The original “Westworld,” released in 1973, starred Yul Brynner as “Robot Gunslinger,” who stalks a pair of vacationers at a futuristic amusement park. The cult classic was written and directed by the novelist Michael Crichton.

Flap is positive that the California Nurses Association and California Teachers Association would love the Governor to retire from politics.

Flap loves the Governator’s movies ……so it is a tough choice.

But, somebody has to reform California and the Terminator is the MAN.

The original movie, starring Yul Brenner and Dick Benjamin can be purchased here.

Will Bruce Willis star?
