Schwarzenegger and Stallone Team Up for THE TOMB

For years fans have dreamed of an Arnold Schwarzenegger - Sylvester Stallone collaboration in a movie and now we get two such opportunities to see these big guys on the big screen together : the upcoming "The Expendables 2" and a new action-thriller called "The Tomb". The latter movie will be directed by Mikael Håfström ("The Rite", "1408") and is written by Miles Chapman ("Road House 2: Last Call") and Jason Keller ("Machine Gun Preacher", "Mirror Mirror"). According to an official press release, this is what "The Tomb" will be about :

"THE TOMB follows Ray Breslin (Stallone) who is the world’s foremost authority on structural security. He’s analyzed every high security prison and has gained a vast array of survival skills. But all Ray’s ingenuity and knowledge are about to be put to work in the most challenging test he’s ever faced: escaping from the master prison of his own design. Schwarzenegger, in the role of Church, plays a complex inmate with multiple shades of grey. He’s the guy who fights to keep the prisoners from losing their humanity in their darkest hour as they struggle together to stay alive."

Filming will begin this spring in Louisiana. No further cast details have been given and no release date has been set at this time. "The Tomb" is produced by Mark Canton ("300"), Randall Emmett & George Furla ("Rambo"), Robbie Brenner ("Machine Gun Preacher"), and Kevin King-Templeton ("The Expendables"). Arnold Schwarzenegger is also involved in the western/action/thriller "The Last Stand", which is directed by Jee-woon Kim and is scheduled for release on January 18, 2013.
