The Governator is heading to the big screen.

Ex-California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced his return
to movies Monday, saying a film version of his much-publicized cartoon
project The Governator is in the works.

“First will come (The Governator) comic books, then a (cartoon) TV
series and after that we will develop the games and then a movie,”
Schwarzenegger told a packed room of international journalists at
global TV market MipTV in Cannes. “Maybe then we'll be back in
Cannes for that.”

Schwarzenegger unspooled a short trailer for the Governator cartoon
which comicbook legend Stan Lee is developing together with Andy
and Amy Heyward of A Squared Entertainment. German sales group
Your Family Entertainment has picked up world sales rights to the
project.

The traditional 2-D actioner kicks off with a cartoon Schwarzenegger
stepping down as governor of California to spend more time with his
family. In reality, he begins a new career as a crime fighter.

The trailer featured a voice cameo by talkmeister Larry King as an
investigative reporter, a figure Schwarzenegger said would be a
recurring character in the series. He said there was a long list of
celebrity voice talent that was interested in participating in The
Governator, from actors “to politicians, tycoons and business
men.”

I thought this was going to be a joke

Nope, I read an article in Entertainment Weekly about it. According to Ahnuld: "When I took office, people started saying 'Governator' and I thought it was cooooooool." Plus it's got Stan Lee backing it...

Guess he wasn't lying when he said "I'll be back!"
