Arnold Schwarzenegger back on the big screen this summer

Arnold Schwarzenegger, California’s actor-turned-governor, has turned actor once more – at least for a single scene in the upcoming movie “The Expendables,” directed by Sylvester Stallone.

A preview of the movie, including a scene featuring three Hollywood muscle men – Schwarzenegger, Stallone and Bruce Willis — was released Wednesday. (The three worked together to launch the Planet Hollywood theme restaurant in 1991).

“The governor and Mr. Stallone are old friends and he was excited to support Mr. Stallone in this film,” said Schwarzenegger press secretary Aaron McLear.

Schwarzenegger taped his only scene on Oct. 24, 2009, McLear said. That was right in the thick of last fall’s water negotiations. The movie is set to be released on Aug. 13, 2010. The real question is whether California will have a state budget by then. And no, the governor can’t donate his earnings from the movie to pay down the deficit. McLear said Schwarzenegger didn’t get paid for appearing in the film. You can watch the trailer for the film, below.
