Schwarzenegger Joins Stallone in 'The Tomb'

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone will co-star in an upcoming action flick "The Tomb," Summit Entertainment announced Wednesday.

Stallone will play a structural security expert and Schwarzenegger an inmate, in the film about a thrilling prison escape.

The former California governor previously teamed up with Stallone for a cameo in "The Expendables" and "The Expendables 2," which will be released in August.

"We're ready for another round of great times and action when we shoot 'The Tomb,''" Schwarzenegger tweeted about his new project, posting a past photo of he and Stallone taken in a hospital as they were coincidentally getting shoulder surgery on the same day.

Filming for the upcoming movie, to be directed by Swedish filmmaker Mikael Hafstrom, will begin in Louisiana this spring.

"I am thrilled to be making 'The Tomb' with two film icons -- Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger," producer Mark Canton said in a statement.

"It is the perfect pairing for this high octane thriller ... I have been working long and hard with Summit to bring them together for this dynamic project," he added.
