Arnold Schwarzenegger wants family movie with Patrick Schwarzenegger and Chris Pratt
The 77-year-old actor is open to the idea of a collaboration with his 31-year-old son and son-in-law
Arnold Schwarzenegger is keen to make a movie with Patrick Schwarzenegger and Chris Pratt.
The 77-year-old actor is open to the idea of a collaboration with his 31-year-old son and son-in-law - who married his daughter Katherine Schwarzenegger in 2019 - but insisted they wouldn't do so for the sake of it as the script would have to be good enough.
He told E! News of the possibility: "It's one of those things that if there's a great script, then of course, we would do it.
"But you can't just make up this stuff. You can't just say, 'OK, let's just put the three together in a movie and not have a great script.' "
The Fubar star called on filmmakers to make the project happen.
He said: "You don't have to talk about it, just do it."

Arnold - who, as well as Katherine, 35, and Patrick, 31, also has Christina, 33, and Christopher, 27, with ex-wife Maria Shriver and Joseph Baena, 27, with Mildren Baena - is also open to the idea of following in his son's footsteps and starring in The White Lotus.
Asked if he'd be interested in a role in the anthology series, he said: "Whenever I see something good, I am interested in it, so we will see."
The former Governor of California is delighted to witness Patrick's success because his son has always been interested in acting.
He said: "Patrick always had a love for show business. He has spent a lot of time on the set with me when he was a kid. He was doing his homework in my movie trailer, he was watching me shooting on stage. I think he got the desire right then and there."
Meanwhile, the veteran action star is excited about the new season of Fubar, even if he finds certain physical scenes "very, very tough" these days.
He teased: "The second season is a lot, a lot of great, great action, and also really funny moments.
"The actual sequences are very, very tough to do, especially when you do night shoots and all that. But it's a lot of fun."
While Arnold is proud of Patrick, he recently admitted he was shocked when his son stripped naked in The White Lotus.
During a joint interview for Variety's 'Actors on Actors' series, he told his son: "I couldn't believe [it].
"I said to myself, 'I'm watching your show, and I'm watching your butt sticking out there.' And all of a sudden, I see the weenie.
"What is going on here? This is crazy.
"Then I said to myself, 'Well, Arnold, hello. You did the same thing in Conan and Terminator, so don't complain about it.'

"But it was a shock to me that you were following my footsteps so closely."

Most iconic Fast and Furious villain still 'waiting for a call' for the sequel
Jason Momoa has opened up about plans to return for Fast and Furious 11, admitting that he's still 'waiting for a call' from movie bosses. The Dune legend made his debut as campy villain Dante Reyes in 2023's Fast X, and was clearly in his element alongside the star-studded cast, including Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris, Tyrese and co. After Vin confirmed that the 11th and final instalment will be racing onto the big screen in 2027, the 46-year-old revealed that he would love to 'f**k s**t up' once again. Speaking to Metro to promote his stunning historical drama, Chief of War, talk turned to his future projects, and whether we would ever see Dante again. 'Listen, they couldn't get rid of me if they tried,' he declared. 'But I'm just saying that I'm waiting for them to call. 'I'm ready to go. You can quote me, I'm ready to f**k s**t up.' The most recent Fast and Furious movie ended on an almighty cliffhanger, perfectly setting up Dante's desire to exact revenge on the gang after the events of the fifth movie led to his father's death. Jason's unhinged performance was a hit with fans and critics alike, with many branding his character the franchise's 'best villain yet'. Unpacking his efforts in a chat with Variety at the time, he shared that he had the time of his life with the role. 'I've never played a character that's, what's the word – he's evil and quirky and androgynous,' he teased. 'He's very sadistic and fun. It's very bizarre. 'I haven't played a villain in a very long time.' The Game of Thrones icon jumped right into character and actually improvised some of his most morbid scenes, including one where he enjoyed a cocktail with two of his dead henchmen. Director Louis Leterrier raved about his efforts in front of the camera, telling the Hollywood Reporter: 'What you have to realize is that Jason and I love each other. 'We found each other on this movie, and we realized that making each other laugh was a great way to create Dante. 'We really liked making each other laugh, and the extra points, the joker of our game, was to get Vin to crack up and come out of character as Dom Toretto. More Trending 'So we tried really hard, like when Dante calls Dom 'butthole,' but Vin is so focused when he is on set that it was impossible.' Fingers crossed that they can get him to crack in the next one… This article was first published on August 1. Fast and Furious 11 is slated to be released in 2027. Got a story?

Aimee Lou Wood wraps up on snowy festive set as she films exciting new Christmas advert
The White Lotus and Sex Education star Amy Lou Wood has been pictured getting into the festive mood as she is filming for Marks & Spencer's new Christmas advert Aimee Lou Wood has been pictured on a picturesque set of a Christmassy street filled with festive decorations and the streets lined with snow as she takes on her latest filming project. The White Lotus and Sex Education star, 31, is currently filming for the new Marks & Spencer Christmas advert. The upmarket food and lifestyle shop's Christmas adverts have become somewhat of a staple around the festive period – rivalling the likes of John Lewis, Aldi and other brands with its Christmas campaigns. And it seems M&S are pulling out all the stops once again and have this time recruited actress Aimee to be at the helm of this year's festive offering. Photos show Aimee shunning the scorching heatwave and imagining a chillier climate as she is dressed in a faux-fur, cheetah print inspired jacket with a collar and long sleeves. The gorgeous jacket is paired with some fashionable, black wide leg trousers and heeled boots with a pointed toe. Aimee had her long brunette locks styled down and in soft waves with a middle parting to frame her face. The actress looks to be getting into the festive spirit on set as she's seen pulling a funny face and pumping her hands up to the sky – in clear excitement over her next filming project. In other snaps, Aimee appears to be taking a break from wearing the thick furry jacket in the middle of the August heatwave as she folds it over her arms while standing with other actors on set. Aimee was embracing the cameras snapping photos of her on the set as she was seen holding two peace signs up and confidently pouting as a photographer snapped away. Other snaps see her with hair and stylist specialists to ensure her look for the highly-anticipated festive ad is seamless. Meanwhile, a broader view of the magical set gives us an early idea on what to expect from this year's advert. A festive, traditional high street is laden with massive baubles, traditional lamp posts decorated with snow and festive wreaths while a number of snowy trees are also pictured on the set. Finally, a shop is decorated with green busy garlands, bows and festive green wreaths while the floor is covered in a layer of snow. The stunning actress rose to fame on Netflix 's hit series, Sex Education, where she played the loveable Aimee Gibbs. She went on to become a massive star with a legion of loyal fans. Fans were over the moon when she was announced as a main cast member for series three of The White Lotus. She played Walton Goggins' young girlfriend, Chelsea, and became a huge hit with international audiences. She also stars in Netflix's Toxic Town and co-created BBC's upcoming series, Film Club. The Stockport-born star has been open about her life and previously opened up on learning to love herself while overcoming issues with low self esteem. While Aimee was still at school, her parents split up, and her mother's new partner paid for her to attend a fancy private school. However, she was the target of bullies and it further dented her confidence. Despite her difficulties, however, Aimee found solace in acting, studying for a drama A Level at Cheadle Hume School before studying at the Oxford School of Drama, and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). Barely two years after graduating in 2017, she got the role in Sex Education and the rest was history. She even scooped up the British Academy Television Award for Best Female Comedy Performance. In a 2020 interview with Glamour, Aimee shared how she had suffered from body dysmorphia all her life, revealing: "When I think back now, I was so harsh to myself. I actually wrote on my mirror when I was younger, "fat," in lipstick so that every day I'd go to it and go, "Okay, just remind yourself that that's what you are." Despite struggling with confidence issues, she threw herself into Sex Education's explicit scenes and made her first topless appearance. She said of her decision: "With the masturbation montage, even with all the unflattering angles I thought, 'Think of the young girls that are going to be watching this and going, 'Oh thank God, that's what I do,' or, 'we don't always look perfect'. "I remember before the first sex scene, I thought, "Right, okay. I'll start eating salads every day," and I just didn't. That was such a turning point for me, making that decision to go, 'Actually, I'm not going to alter how my body looks before this scene because this is how my body looks'."
