It didn’t take A Squared Entertainment executives long to terminate an animated cartoon and comic book project featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger and his family.
The company had been actively developing, producing and marketing The Governator, a crime fighting storyline with Arnold, Marie and their four children.
A corporate statement read: “In light of recent events, A Squared Entertainment, POW, Stan Lee Comics and Archie Comics have chosen to not go forward with the Governator project.”
That isn’t all that is on hold. The former gov’s lawyer Patrick Knapp issued a statement early Thursday: “At the request of Arnold Schwarzenegger, we asked Creative Artists Agency to inform all his motion picture projects currently underway or being negotiated to stop planning until further notice.”
It went on to say: “Gov. Schwarzenegger is focusing on personal matters and is not willing to commit to any production schedules or timelines. This includes Cry Macho, the Terminator franchise and other projects under consideration. We will resume discussions when Gov. Schwarzenegger decides.”
This recent chain of events is directly related to the revelation that Schwarzenegger fathered a love child with the family housekeeper more than a decade ago. The 13-year-old boy, reportedly the spitting image of Arnold, was born just four days after Maria gave birth to their youngest son Christopher.
The former governor’s long-time employee, mistress, and baby mama is 50-year-old Mildred Baena — photos of mother and son here.
