Arnold Schwarzenegger and his refusal to kill
When asked, Arnold Schwarzenegger confessed that he did not reject the role, but that “I was already committed to another movie”so he could not star in hard to kill. In addition, he acknowledges that it is not the only project that he has not been able to lead throughout his career due to agenda problems, especially in the 80s, when he “made two films a year, one of action and another of comedy.”
The tape arrived at the actor just after Predator (1987), which was also made by the director of Jungla de Cristal, John McTiernanbut finally he could not carry it out. Today, few imagine someone who is not Bruce Willis on paper, although the reality is that the list of names that were considered was very extensive.
