There’s a new Arnold Schwarzenegger movie trailer doing the rounds online. So, what’s the deal with Agent State Farm?
But with the Agent State Farm trailer’s release, Schwarzenegger is set to smash his way back into cinemas – or is he? Read on to find out!
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Agent State Farm movie explained
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Agent State Farm isn’t a real movie – it’s a commercial. So technically, the trailer is a commercial for a commercial!
As its name suggests, the Agent State Farm trailer is part of a promo campaign for State Farm Insurance. Schwarzenegger portrays the campaign’s titular protagonist, “an elite State Farm agent who goes to any length necessary to be the good neighbor the world needs.”
Per theDaily Mail, Schwarzenegger and Miles filmed footage outside Gold’s Gym – the Venice Beach venue Arnie popularized during his weight-lifting career. This included scenes of Schwarzenegger pumping iron as Miles looked on.
While Agent State Farm is essentially a hoax, that doesn’t mean Schwarzenegger doesn’t have any legit productions in the works. The Austrian Oak will next appear in martial arts comedy Kung Fury 2, which is currently wrapping post-production.
According toDeadline, Arnie will portray Terry Reynolds, who stages a “daring jailbreak” in a foreign country to rescue his wrongly convicted stepson.
