'Last Stand': Kim Jee-Woon on Hollywood, Arnold's action comeback

On the set of the shoot-'em-up thriller "The Last Stand," South Korean director Kim Jee-Woon and Arnold Schwarzenegger suffered from what we shall term a certain failure to communicate. They literally could not speak each other's language, relying on translators to trade ideas thanks to Kim's negligible English and Schwarzenegger's heavy Teutonic accent. Nonetheless, according to Kim, the inability to find common parlance with one's star -- or any cast member, for that matter -- was hardly a stumbling block. Over lunch in Hollywood, the director went so far as to extend an inspirational message to other international moviemakers deficient in English-speaking skills.
