EXCLUSIVE: Zach Gilford will star opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Kim Jee-woon-directed The Last Stand. Gilford, who played Friday Night Lights quarterback Matt Sarecen, will play the young small-town cop who works for Schwarzenegger’s sheriff character. They are all that stands between a drug cartel and the Mexican border after the kingpin escapes from a U.S. prison and races home. Shooting is just getting underway in Albuquerque. Gilford recently starred in the indie drama In Our Nature and is shooting Long Time Gone. He’ll next be seen starring in the Matthew Leutwyler-directed Answers To Nothing, the Roadside Attractions release that also stars Dane Cook, Julie Benz and Barbara Hershey. He’s repped by WME and D/F Management.





Good for Gilford. He’s a terrific actor and he’s got a great career ahead of him. Schwarzenegger, not so much.
What you said… I couldn’t agree more, on both counts…
All I know is my 12 year old son likes Arnold and tonight we ate dinner at Artichoke Cafe a few tables away from Arnold himself. My son could not be any happier right now.
Zach is a way better actor than to have to settle for crap like this. Hopefully, he won’t go the superhero route.
Lionsgate should rehire the guy that came up with the idea, got a writer to spec it and then got his bosses to buy it, Hernany Perla. Great dude with good taste who was let go despite having a lot of talent and being a pleasure to work with.
Oh, man! Hernany! Haven’t heard that name in a minute. Former Jim Osborne asst, I believe. Always a pleasure to talk to/deal with him. If what you say is true, then I do wish him the best…
great news..
This film is going to be absolutely CRAZY. Kim Ji-Woon is an absolute master, trust in him. Schwarzenegger is a work horse and will give it his all. This is Fast and the Furious meets High Noon.
Can’t wait
Fantastic to see Zach Gilford on big screens. He was excellent as the underdog in Friday Night Lights, the regular kid persevering through real world problems every day. A heavyweight in the making and definitely one to watch.
zach guilford should have won an Emmy. i hope he balances this blockbuster stuff with his real skills.
I don’t know this guy, but all i know is that this guy teaming up with arnold is gonna be cool, can’t wait to see the last stand baby.
This guy could be wonderful, you know, arnold after all he went through, he need a moltivator b/c any movie feature by arnold is great. Am you no 1 fan baby.
