Screening Soon in Sacramento
By Rebecca Winters
Unfortunately for California's 38th Governor, his next movie role can't be recalled. In this month's Around the World in 80 Days, an adaptation of the Jules Verne novel starring Jackie Chan and Steve Coogan, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER has a very unstatesmanlike cameo as a libidinous Turkish prince. Filmed last July--before he had a really, really big state to run--Schwarzenegger's scenes won't help him shed his Governor Groper image. In the movie's trailer, the bewigged action hero entreats a comely blond to become his seventh wife: "One for each day of the week. Do Tuesdays work for you?" The Governor's office declined to comment on his role in the film. California's crucial polygamist vote, though, seems a lock.
