Hey folks, Harry here with an extra tidbit on COLLATERAL DAMAGE from the Monkey_King... Enjoy..
Andy Davis is directing for Warner Bros for a projected 2001 spring/early summer release. A buddy of mine, stunt coordinator Tom Muzila(Under Seige/Three Kings) was just hired on as the advisor and consultant to the director and writer on the film. The film is in it's 4th rewrite, based on Tom's ideas about the character Arnold portrays. Tom is going to setting up a meeting with Arnold within the month about a unique training session he plans to put the 'Terminator' through to coincide with his character in the script. I was told filming starts in June. Tom is also awaiting a copy of the much anticipated script from my writng partner and I, entitled 'The UnChosen One.' Take care Harry. Keep up the great site.

Hey folks, Harry here with the latest on that Ahnult fella from the Schwarzenegger/Stallone fan #1, A.B. King. ALso, in one of the half dozen or so emails that I have received from A.B. in the past couple of days, he claims that the reason the big man dropped TOTAL RECALL 2, was so he could do WITH WINGS AS EAGLES after COLLATERAL DAMAGE with Paul Verhoeven as the alleged director. So far, I haven't been able to get that confirmed. But we still have to look at the possibility that Arnold will be doing the Darabont/Russell directed DOC SAVAGE: MAN OF BRONZE instead. So... Here's A.B.
Harry, someone very close to the production of COLLATERAL DAMAGE sent me this small piece of plot info:
Arnold plays a fireman who's late to meet his wife and young 5 year old son at the doctors office, which happens to be next to the Columbian Embassy. From a vantage point of a block away he can see his wife and child waiting out front for him as the Embassy explodes. He watches his wife and child die. The FBI and CIA aren't doing too much about. Armolds wife and son were declared Collateral Damage. He finds out more info and flies down to Columbia himself, looking for a terrorist called the WOLF.
Basic retribution plot. Shows how far a man will be pushed when nobody else wants to do anything about it. Arnold has to play a 'real guy' in this one. No humor, no super-hero antics. Very realistic departure for Schwarzenegger. Film is targeted for a spring/summer 2001 release from Warner Bros. Tom worked with Andy Davis before on Under Seige and Above the Law. He doesn't have many kind words to say about Seagal either. Hope this helps.
