Arnold Schwarzenegger To Join Michael Fassbender in KUNG FURY Movie

Once the first news broke out that there are plans for a movie based on the 2015 Kickstarter-funded viral short "Kung Fury", the Internet exploded. It was first reported that Michael Fassbender ("12 Years a Slave", "Assassin's Creed") has signed on to star as "the greatest damn cop of all time" in the adaptation and that David Hasselhoff, who had a cameo in the original short, would also return.

Now it seems that Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed on to star alongside Fassbender and Hasselhoff. David Sandberg, who directed the viral video, will return to helm the film, and will also co-star and produce. "It" producers David Katzenberg, Seth Grahame-Smith and Aaron Schmidt are also investing in the project.

Here is the official synopsis, and below you can check out the original short that started it all:

"It’s 1985, the best year ever. Miami is kept safe under the watchful eye of Kung Fury, the greatest damn cop of all time. Kung Fury’s Thundercops are the ultimate police force assembled from across history to defeat the villainous Kung Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler. After the tragic death of a Thundercop 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 space and time itself to save his friends, defend the prestigious Miami Kung Fu Academy, and defeat evil once and for all."

Viral Video: David Hasselhoff's KUNG FURY '80s Style Music Video

If you haven't heard of "Kung Fury", well, you're not alone. I just found out about it myself. It's an insane Kickstarter-funded short that mimics the 1980s B-flick style and has raised $630,000 since December 2013. So, not surprisingly, the short's creators decided to get David Hasselhoff for the soundtrack. Hasselhoff sings (yes, he sings) the film's theme song "True Survivor", and the video perfectly captures the mood of the 1980s and showcases scenes from the short. If you really like the song, you can also buy it from Amazon and iTunes. And to appease your curiosity, here's the synopsis for "Kung Fury":

"During an unfortunate series of events a friend of Kung Fury is assasinated by the most dangerous kung fu master criminal of all time; Adolf Hitler, a.k.a Kung Führer. Kung Fury decides to travel back in time, to Nazi Germany, in order to kill Hitler and end the Nazi empire once and for all."

And here is the music video:
