Schwarzenegger ‘Governator’ for 3D movie

Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger plans to turn his forthcoming Governator animated TV show and comic book into a 3D movie.

The former governor of California announced last week that he and Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee are developing the superhero cartoon project.

The multi-platform project will also now include web elements as well as a big-screen feature, reports Deadline.

The film, centred on a superhero based on Schwarzenegger, is expected to be completed in early 2013.

“In public life when you are governor, you have to deal with keeping the beaches clean and making sure there is enough funding for the after-school programmes and lunch programmes. But as an action hero, you just have to save the world,” Schwarzenegger said about his return to the entertainment business.

A network for the Governator TV show has yet to be announced.

The Terminator star previously said that he was looking at a number of possible scripts for his next film.
