Sly And Arnie's Excellent Adventure

by Tippi Blevins June 24, 2008 3:54 PM

Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger are embarking on an unusual adventure--one that leads them to Bollywood and to their first movie together. The veteran action stars don't even have to leave home to do it, because India is coming to them, according to The Guardian. The two have signed on to appear in Kambakkht Ishq, which translates to "Incredible Love." No, it's not a rom-com celebrating the California Supreme Court's recent ruling on same-sex marriage. The big-budget (£11m) production is the story of an Indian stuntman who moves to L.A. and "has to juggle the demands of avoiding on-rushing freight trains with finding love in the Californian metropolis." The on-rushing trains sound exponentially less daunting.

Sadly, Sly and Arnie's roles in the film will amount to mere cameos. Why bother shelling out the money for such small roles? Producer Sajid Nadiadwala said of the decision: "Since the film is based in Hollywood ... It made perfect sense to appoint casting agents in Hollywood and cast mainstream Hollywood stars." It's probably a few years past major "star" status for either actor, but they certainly remain iconic. Looking more and more like stiff, plastic versions of themselves lately, but iconic nonetheless.

Let's just hope that the cameos are substantial enough to afford the actors a chance to break into a proper Bollywood song and dance number. Good or bad, it would be one helluva thing to see.
