The last stand

In 2010, Kim was hired as director for US film The Last Stand, which was produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Lionsgate Films. The project had acquired Andrew Knauer's spec script for "The Last Stand" in June 2009, prior to Kim's attachment. According to di Bonaventura, Kim was brought on board because of his ability to elevate simple concepts and make them feel more rich in his previous works. Kim himself expressed interest in the film's storyline of protecting something valuable, no matter how small, and the idea of using old-fashioned methods to take down advanced technology. In addition, screenwriter Jeffrey Nachmanoff was hired to revise the script. According to di Bonaventura, the film had a Western movie vibe, featuring a small town besieged by a villainous figure similar to a corrupt cattle baron, with a seasoned veteran attempting to thwart his plans.

In 2011, Lionsgate offered Arnold Schwarzenegger the lead role in The Last Stand after initially considering Liam Neeson for the part. The Last Stand marked Schwarzenegger's return to acting after having just ended his tenure as Governor of California. This was Arnold Schwarzenegger's first lead acting role since Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in 2003. The announcement of Schwarzenegger's casting in The Last Stand was made in July 2011. The actor stated that he found the project to be "quite different" from his previous roles, despite being action-packed, as he had to portray a character who was sensitive to his team and shared humorous moments similar to True Lies. Initially, Kim was hesitant to cast such a prominent star in the film, but after discussing the character of Ray Owens with Schwarzenegger, they both agreed on portraying him as an everyman rather than having a "Terminator-like feel." The film also starred Johnny Knoxville, Forest Whitaker, Peter Stormare, and Daniel Henney. Two weeks later, Lionsgate announced a release date of January 18, 2013. {{copied}} from The Last Stand (2013 film)
