Okay, I admit a hulking actor like Arnold Schwarzenegger combined with the name of the title that says CRY MACHO does sounds like a parody of sorts to me. But that's not the case, since CRY MACHO is actually a drama based on the 1975 novel by the late N. Richard Nash. So naturally it won't be the usual muscular action genre approach we used to see in many Schwarzenegger's movie. Instead it's more of a dramatic role since Schwarzenegger wants to stretch some real acting performance for his return to the big screen. In this movie, he will play a "damaged-goods horse trainer who's just been ignominiously put out to pasture by his feckless boss. In exchange for some retirement money, the broken - and broke - horseman agrees to kidnap the boss's 11-year-old son from his rich Mexican ex-wife. Things take an unexpected turn, however, when the ex-wife is all too glad to be rid of her juvenile delinquent."
CRY MACHO will be directed by THE LINCOLN LAWYER's Brad Furman and produced by Al Ruddy, the producer of Oscar-winning movies including MILLION DOLLAR BABY and THE GODFATHER.
Hmm... Schwarzenegger's first live-action movie will be a dramatic role? Sounds interesting... (Which means we have to wait longer for his much-anticipated return to TERMINATOR franchise...)
