Scandal? What scandal?

Weeks after Arnold Schwarzenegger put his Hollywood comeback on hold when word broke that he had fathered a love child with a family housekeeper, the former California governor has decided to dive back into the movie business after all.

Schwarzenegger rep Daniel Katchell confirmed Tuesday that the ex-governor is back on board to star in a Western thriller titled “The Last Stand.”

The film will be the English-language directorial debut of Korean filmmaker Ji-Woon Kim. It’s described as a thriller about an aging U.S. sheriff (Schwarzenegger) tracking down the leader of a deadly drug cartel.

The director has described the film, which at one point had Liam Neeson in the lead role, as a combination of “Die Hard” and “High Noon.”

Filming for “The Last Stand” begins in September, reports say.

The film was one of three projects announced earlier this year signaling Schwarzenegger’s return to the film business following his run as governor.

But everything was put on hold in May when his shocking sex scandal came to light. Schwarzenegger’s wife, Maria Shriver, filed for divorce July 1.

His reputation certainly will be put to the test. The film calls for him to be a somewhat broken-down sheriff who must decide to act heroically to save his town from a ruthless drug lord.
