Schwarzenegger To Star In Revenge Drama ‘478’

Arnold Schwarzenegger has just signed on to star in upcoming revenge drama 478, from Darren Aronofsky’s studio Protozoa Pictures.

Recently announced from Deadline, 478 has Schwarzenegger taking up the role of a father who loses his wife and daughter in a plane crash that was caused by the negligence of an air traffic controller. Shortly after, the air traffic controller is exonerated for the accident and moved into protective custody. Not satisfied with getting of scott-free, Schwarzenegger goes for revenge on the man responsible for the accident.

The script promises to be “more sophisticated than an average revenge film, and gives Schwarzenegger a chance to show the chops he displayed on Maggie”. 

It will be a nice change of pace for the Austrian actor to see him in what sounds like will be a slow methodical take on your standard revenge film. It’s always refreshing to see capable actors step outside their normal fair.

Production on 478 starts in December. So far only Arnold has signed on to star in the film. It is being written by Javier Guillon  and will be directed by Elliot Lester.

No release date has been announced.
