Baldwin pulls out of Arnie film
LONDON: Actor Alec Baldwin has pulled out of a documentary showing the rise of Arnold Schwarzenegger in politics because it has Nazi undertones.
According to contactmusic.com, Baldwin says he agreed to do the narration for Running with Arnold, but that was before he found that the film would be accompanied by images of Nazi rallies and the Nazi party paperwork of Schwarzenegger’s father. Baldwin wrote on a website: “The filmmakers hammer Schwarzenegger over his private behaviour and his record as governor. But Schwarzenegger deserves to be treated fairly and the film’s images of Nazi rallies were over the line.” However, producers say that Baldwin had plenty of time to view the footage even before recording. Mike Gabrawy said: “What’s really shocking about this situation is that this is not really a critical look at Schwarzenegger — there’s a lot more we could’ve done to be critical.”
