The shoot, has officially begun, will take place across
locations in New Mexico and Nevada.
Rounding out the cast are Zach Gilford, Forest Whitaker,
Luis Guzman, Rodrigo Santoro, Johnny Knoxville, Jaimie Alexander, Eduardo
Noriega, Peter Stormare and Harry Dean Stanton.
Korean action-suspense master Kim Jee-Woon is directing the
film, which is based on a spec script by Andrew Knauer that was subsequently
rewritten by Jeffrey Nachmanoff.
Schwarzenegger stars as Sheriff Owens, a man who has
resigned himself to a life of fighting what little crime takes place in sleepy
border town Sommerton Junction after leaving his LAPD post following a bungled
operation that left him wracked with failure and defeat after his partner was
crippled.
After a spectacular escape from an FBI prisoner convoy, the
most notorious, wanted drug kingpin in the hemisphere is hurtling toward the
border at 200 mph in a specially outfitted car with a hostage and a fierce army
of gang members. He is headed, it turns
out, straight for Summerton Junction, where the whole of the U.S. law
enforcement will have their last opportunity to make a stand and intercept him
before he 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 accepts
responsibility for one of the most daring face offs in cinema history.
