Arnold Schwarzenegger wants family movie with Patrick Schwarzenegger and Chris Pratt
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."

Arnold Schwarzenegger attends red carpet with all five kids - as son Joseph Baena is seemingly snubbed
Arnold Schwarzenegger celebrated Season 2 of 'FUBAR' with his kids — but one was seemingly snubbed during the event. While all five of the actor's children attended the red carpet premiere of the action series Wednesday in Los Angeles, the 77-year-old posed with them in two separate groups. Arnold first took photos with Katherine, Christina, Patrick and Christopher Schwarzenegger, whom he has with his ex-wife Maria Shriver. Katherine's husband, Chris Pratt, also appeared in the pictures. The family of six smiled for the cameras while surrounding the former governor. Arnold then posed with his son Joseph Baena. He had the 27-year-old with his family's housekeeper, Mildred Baena, following an affair during his marriage to Shriver. While none of his other children took photos with their half-brother, Arnold and Joseph didn't appear to be bothered by it. The actor smiled and proudly posed alongside his look-alike son and later spoke about the possibility of working with Patrick, 31, who recently starred in Season 3 of 'The White Lotus.' 'Well, it could be in the future. I don't know,' he told Extra. 'If there's a good script, you will, of course, think about that, but right now, just let him go and do his own thing. He's doing it very well. He's on a good ride right now. He's very popular. People come up to me now and just say, 'Hey, here's my contact.' And I say, 'Well, thank you… What do you want me to do with this?' ' ' 'No, no, no it's not for you…,' ' Arnold added. ' 'Give it to Patrick.' ' The interviewer, Terri Seymour, then floated the idea of the father-son duo working with his son-in-law, Pratt, 45. 'Could easily be… Who knows,' Arnold replied. In 2011, Shriver, 69, filed for divorce from Arnold following 25 years of marriage after finding out about his affair. Just this year, the author opened up about that 'brutal' moment. In her new book, 'I Am Maria,' published in April, Shriver detailed that the news of Arnold's infidelity came after she had just lost both her mom and dad. 'I was consumed with grief and wracked with confusion, anger, fear, sadness and anxiety,' she penned. 'I was unsure now of who I was, where I belonged. Honestly, it was brutal, and I was terrified.' Shriver added, 'As I sat on my hotel room floor in the dark, alone with tears streaming down my face, I thought to myself: Maria, this doesn't have to be the end of you.' Looking back at that difficult time in her life, Shriver concluded, 'I've also had to come face to face with other misguided beliefs — about aging, about being alone. I used to believe that if you didn't have a partner, you must be unworthy and unlovable. I've learned that nothing could be further from the truth.' This isn't the first time that Joseph has been seemingly snubbed by his half-siblings. The same thing happened at the first season premiere of 'FUBAR.' Meanwhile, in 2023, a source told Page Six that Joseph has a good relationship with Arnold but isn't close with the other children. 'The other kids don't love Joe,' the insider alleged after the event. 'It's a shame as he's a really good kid, and Arnold has always treated him like all his other kids — very fairly. But for whatever reason, the other kids take [the affair] out on Joe.' In March, Joseph got candid about choosing to go by his mother's surname. 'I think the main thing is I'm trying to do things on my own,' he told 'Good Morning Britain.' 'My family is very big in supporting from afar and not being so hands-on, I really appreciate that. I think it's really important growing up as a man to do things on your own. To figure it out, that's what I've been doing,' he added. These days, Joseph is also following in his father's footsteps as he is starring in the upcoming film 'Gunner.' 'I've been working really hard,' he shared. 'It was such an honor to be on the same film as Morgan Freeman, as Luke Hemsworth. Luke is amazing, they're both amazing actors.' Meanwhile, his half-brother, Chris, also 27, debuted his drastic weight loss in May. 'It was a big process,' he said while at the Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit in Los Angeles, per People. 'I started in 2019 when I was living in Australia. I was on this big trip. I made it a big [deal] like, 'Oh, I'm going to go out and do all this stuff, be in Australia,' and I just saw how much my weight was prohibiting me from doing the everyday activities.' It was a long journey for Chris, who had tried to lose weight for many years. 'I was doing meal delivery things in high school, and I remember feeling like a weirdo when I was bringing weird lunches to school,' he recalled. 'It's not an overnight thing, but it took a lot of trial and error.' Originally published as Arnold Schwarzenegger attends red carpet with all five kids - as son Joseph Baena is seemingly snubbed

He told E! News: "I think that it's one of those things that if there is a great script, then of course we would do it. But you cannot just make up this stuff, you cannot just say 'Okay, let's just put the three together in a movie...' and not have a great script."

Yashica Launching Affordable Answer to Fujifilm in FX-D Camera
By Jacob Osborn - News Published: 13 June 2025 |Last Updated: 10 June 2025 Share Copy Link Readtime: 3 min Every product is carefully selected by our editors and experts.

The name Yashica may ring a bell as the Japanese camera and equipment brand that ceased production back in 2005, but after a Hong Kong-based company purchased the trademark rights a few years later and brought the business back from the brink. The 2017 launch of the Y35 DigiFilm camera combined digital technology and an analog-style design, and peopel clearly liked it, as the camera raised over $1.2 million on Kickstarter and paved the way for future models. And now you're more or less up to speed as we introduce Yashica's latest endeavour: the new FX-D camera series. Currently raising funds on Kickstarter – where it's soared well past its initial goal – the FX-D series continues a trend set forth not just by the rebooted Yashica but also brands like Fujifilm. While digital at heart, each camera in the range generates authentic film simulation photography and video. Users can alternate between various modes with ease as they replicate an assortment of analog aesthetics. A digital shooting mode is likewise available, thereby bringing owners the best of all worlds. Yashica FX-D Camera | Image: Yashica Want to capture images in black and white? There's a mode for that. Or maybe you want to shoot video in the granular style of 1970s cinema? There's a mode for that as well. There are six unique film simulation modes overall, allowing you to explore and create as you develop a personal style. Meanwhile, the camera's physical design language takes cues from pre-existing Yashica models like the FX-3, but with plenty of modern touch-ups. The FX-D series runs the gamut of modern specs across its relatively small range. At the most affordable end of the spectrum is the FX-D 100, which includes a 13MP sensor and goes out to everyday creators. A notch above that is the FX-D 300, a 50MP high-resolution camera that offers more functionality and flexibility. And if only the best model will suffice, there's the FX-D S300. It takes the professional-grade features of the FX-D 300 and throws in an OLED Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) to heed customer demand. Ultimately, you might think of Yashica's FX-D camera series as a tactile way to render analog-style effects without dealing with the headaches of traditional analog photography (film processing, etc). Call it your smartphone filters on steroids if you will, but some people still crave a more tactile experience. Will you get a relatively similar – if not far superior – experience with a quality Fujifilm camera? Perhaps, but the price point will be much higher. Here you get (arguably) comparable performance for a fraction of the price, especially when you take advantage of those early bird specials.
