Sounds like Kung Fury director David Sandberg, who is creating a feature-length follow-up to his none-more '80s action short, is really leaning into nostalgia for the decade. He's adding Arnold Schwarzenegger to the cast.
Sandberg wrote the script and will direct the movie, returning as the titular hero. The story is set in 1985, and Miami is kept safe under the watchful eye of Kung Fury, the greatest damn cop of all time. His Thundercops are the ultimate police force assembled from across history to defeat the villainous Kung Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler. After the tragic death of one of their members causes the group to disband, a mysterious villain emerges from the shadows to aid in the Fuhrer’s quest to attain the ultimate weapon. Kung Fury must travel through space and time to save his friends, defend the prestigious Miami Kung Fu Academy, and defeat evil once and for all.
Schwarzenegger will realise a former real-life dream (and movie reference, playing the American president. He joins a cast that includes David Hasselhoff and recent addition Michael Fassbender.
It'll shoot in Europe and the States this summer. Recently, Schwarzenegger turned a long-gestating Western film project called Outrider into a TV series for Amazon. He's also involved in the new Terminator movie that James Cameron is producing.
