And, from another corner of the world, comes this summary:

Award-winning writer/director Kim Jee-woon and Hollywood icon Arnold Schwarzenegger, along with screenwriter and Dodge College alumnus Andy Knauer (MFA/Screenwriting’06), will open the festival with a special presentation of their recent collaboration “The Last Stand” on 8 March at Marion Knott Studios on Chapman University’s campus in Orange.
