With the first bit of casting news, and news that it was being done at all, out earlier this week, David Sandberg’s crowdfunded project from several years ago with Kung Fury has now revealed another cast addition. Sandberg is set to direct and produce the film with Michael Fassbender previously announced along with David Hasselhoff. Now, Arnold Schwarzenegger has joined the project in an undisclosed role.
The film is serving as a sequel to the original short and will shoot this summer.
Plot Concept: The story is set in 1985, the best year ever. 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.
