Hollywood - True to his word, Arnold Schwarzenegger is back. Three weeks after he fired his William Morris agents, the actor has signed with rival firm Creative Artists Agency.
Even though his star has dimmed in recent years with such films as Collateral Damage and End of Days, Schwarzenegger is being paid $30 million to reprise his role in Intermedia Films' Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines for director Jonathan Mostow.
At Warner Bros. Pictures, he is aligned to star in Conan the Barbarian and to produce I Am Legend. In the works at 20th Century Fox is a sequel to True Lies, which would reteam him with director James Cameron.
He was last in cinemas with Collateral Damage, which grossed just $81 million worldwide.
Before signing with William Morris, where he had spent the last five years, Schwarzenegger spent 15 years at Intl. Creative Management.
