As we reported on our Facebook page, Lionsgate premiered the first trailer for Arnold and Sly's recently renamed movie "Escape Plan" at the Cinemacon convention in Las Vegas! We were hoping it would've popped up online by now, but unforntunately, that hasn't happened. What we do have is a brief description from comingsoon.net:
Don't let the lack of big Arnold news get you down! Here are a few tidbits from around the web that will help!

The web is a constant treasure trove of Schwarzenegger references!
Like an action hero, you were born to achieve greatness. But somewhere along the way you started to live an ordinary life.

On May 21st, the adventurous Schwarzenegger romp "The Last Stand" will be coming to DVD and Blu-Ray. Action hero fans everywhere should run out and purchase a copy to drive up the numbers of the 36 million dollar box office take.The big question is... WHICH DVD or Blu-ray edition do you buy?
Summit Entertainment has moved the release date for Escape Plan (formerly The Tomb) to September 13th, two weeks earlier than its original date of 9/27/13.

Ever since Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger began his “Pumping Iron” days, he shocked the world with his accomplishments in muscles, exercise and athleticism. Without a doubt, The Austrian Oak has been the greatest role model for once low-esteemed couch potato zeroes turned confident athletic heroes. Followers would ride the rails of his fitness train. Come with Arnold if you wanted to live a healthier lifestyle and do some push-ups on the lawn of the White House when Schwarzenegger was on the President’s Council of Physical Fitness.
As many of you know, TheArnoldFans has been covering the unfortunate passing of Arnold's mentor and "father figure" Joe Weider over the past few days on Facebook and Twitter. Weider, a leading figure in bodybuilding, who died at the age of 93, brought Schwarzenegger to the US early in his career and helped him achieve the American dream as he became an international movie star. TAFs spoke with the legend in 2009 when we asked him if Arnold would still be the success that he is today without his help.

Another great discovery we made at this year's Arnold Classic was meeting with filmmaker Patrick Rivera who has just finished a documentary about the Arnold Sports Festival called ASF25! He was at a booth selling DVDs so we picked up a few copies to check out. It's a great retrospective from the beginnings of Jim Lorimer and Arnold's partnership to the gradual steady growth of the Classic as it became the huge event it is today with more competitors than the Olympics.

Get ya ass to (Veronica) Mars! In the wake of the multi-million dollar "Veronica Mars" Kickstarter campaign, a movement set forward by the fans to revive the show, I wondered if Kickstarter might also be the perfect solution to revive the sci-fi fan-favorite TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
