Arnold Schwarzenegger Compares Breacher to Predator

The new issue of Empire Magazine is all Schwarzenegger, all the time -- including a 16-page interview that finds Arnold talking about upcoming projects like the David Ayer action thriller Breacher.

Formerly titled Ten, Breacher finds Schwarzenegger leading an ensemble cast (including Sam Worthington, Terrence Howard, and Olivia Williams) through a storyline that involves the members of "a corrupt DEA task force" being picked off one by one.

If that sounds familiar to you, you aren't alone. As Schwarzenegger puts it in the interview, Breacher "will be very like a new Predator. It's a team around me and they get knocked off until there's only me left. Except in this case, there will be a different twist to the whole thing instead of some alien monster."

Looking back on Predator, Schwarzenegger argued that part of the movie's appeal lay in the fact that "I was not the only star of it. I mean, I was the star of it because at the end the focus goes to me, but you can let other people shine too ? give them screen time and not be in every scene. So I think that?s what I like about Breacher and the way it?s written. But it is a great character, an extremely interesting character and very well written."

Reflecting on his current spate of new films after spending years away from Hollywood, Schwarzenegger mused, "I like the idea of starting again, but trying to come back halfway down and working my way slowly back up again. So that's the idea, to do more personal stories and ensemble pieces."

Of course, the eternal question is whether Schwarzenegger will return to the Terminator franchise -- and the answer, at least for now, is that he has no idea. "I think (producer) Megan Ellison owns the rights to Terminator 16, or whatever it is," he shrugged. "They have been trying to put a script together but I've not seen it, so I've no idea. There's nothing on the drawing board at this point. Nothing on the plan."
