The Governator Will Also Be a 3-D Film for Arnold Schwarzenegger

Wasn't April Fools' Day on Friday? During the MIPTV press conference at Cannes, former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced that his planned animated series The Governator will also become a planned feature film. In 3-D. Suffice to say, he's back.

According to A Squared Entertainment co-founder Andy Heyward, The Governator -- which would team Arnold with comic kingpin Stan Lee -- will begin with a 52-episode television series, that will transform into a feature film set for release in early 2013. Said Arnold: "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 programs and lunch programs. But as an action hero, you just have to save the world." Translation: Action heroes don't like clean beaches.
