(RTTNews) - After reportedly turning down several movie offers due to his widely publicized sex scandal, Arnold Schwarzenegger will star in the upcoming western "The Last Stand."

The film, a Lionsgate exec told deadline.com, is a perfect fit for Arnold:
"It's an old-fashioned Western specifically designed for a 63-year-old broken-down guy with a moral decision, whether Arnold decides to stand up for his town. We always needed an iconic figure for it."
In May, Schwarzenegger had stated that he would be putting all Hollywood projects on hold so that he could straighten out his personal affairs.
Meanwhile, Maria Shriver filed for divorce last week, which will end her 25-year marriage to the former Governor of California.
"The Last Stand" will be directed by Jee-woon Kim; it is slated for release sometime in 2012.
