Patrick Schwarzenegger will star in 'Scouts Vs. Zombies'.
The 20-year-old star - who is the son of 'The Terminator' hunk Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver - will play a popular high school quarterback who is a rival to the boy scout troop, reports Deadline.com.
He will join 'The Tree of Life' star Tye Sheridan, I'm in the Band's Logan Miller, 'The Vampire Diaries' actor Joseph Morgan and The Office's David Koechner in the Christopher Landon-directed film.
Andy Fickman, Todd Garner, Bryan Brucks and Betsy Sullenger are producing the film which is set to begin shooting scenes on May 8.
Patrick will next appear in a coming of age story 'Dear Eleanor' alongside Josh Lucas, Jessica Alba and Isabelle Fuhrman.
Meanwhile, Patrick's famous father Arnold is gearing up to reprise his role as T-800 in 'Terminator: Genesis' and although he was unable to feature in 'Terminator Salvation' in 2009 because of his commitments as the Governor of California the actor is thrilled to hit the big screen and be part of the franchise once again.
He previously said: "The way that the character is written, it's a machine underneath. It's this metal skeleton but above that is human flesh, and the Terminator's flesh ages, just like any other human being's flesh.
"Maybe not as fast, but it definitely ages."
Before he added: "I did say, 'I'll be back', so now I'm back and it's going to be really terrific."

Barbie will hit the big screen in a live-action comedy.
The children's favourite - who was manufactured by American toy company Mattel - will cover some of her most famous looks, which include princess, president and mermaid in the forthcoming picture.
According to the Los Angeles Times newspaper, the film will be scripted by 'Rio 2' scribe Jenny Bicks and produced by Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald, and production will begin at the end of the year.
Hannah Minghella, Columbia Pictures' president of production, said in a statement: "We've always thought that the Barbie story had great potential, but a universe of possibilities opened up when Jenny, Walter and Laurie brought us their unexpected, clever and truly funny concept."
The fictional origin of Barbie - full name Barbara Millicent Roberts - sees her embark on an on-off romantic relationship with her boyfriend Ken, who first appeared in 1961. In February 2004 Mattel announced that Barbie and Ken had decided to split up, but in February 2006 they were hoping to rekindle their romance following his make-over.
The blue-eyed beauty is also known to have had over 40 pets and owned a wide range of vehicles.
This film marks the first collaboration between Sony and Mattel since the 'Masters of the Universe' which is still in development.

Zooey Deschanel has been cast in 'The Driftless Area'.
The 'New Girl' star will play an "enigmatic woman" in co-writer and director Zachary Sluser's dark comedy for Unified Pictures and Bron Studios.
The screenplay is being adapted from Tom Drury's novel of the same name by the author and Sluser.
Deschanel is due to be joined by Anton Yelchin, John Hawkes, Ciaran Hinds and Alia Shawkat in the movie, which tells the story of a resourceful bartender (Yelchin) who moves back to his hometown following the death of his parents, falls for Deschanel's character and is unwittingly pitted against a crook (Hawkes).
According to The Wrap, Sluser said: "It is a great joy to be able to bring Tom Drury's hauntingly beautiful story to life with such profoundly talented actors, all of whom have inspired me for years."
Filming begins May 14 in Vancouver, Canada, with Keith Kjarval and Aaron L. Gilbert acting as producers and Nicole Romano as executive producer.
Kjarval commented: "We are quite excited about making this film as it is so darkly humorous and wrought with atmosphere and frankly, I am excited to be telling such a delicious story with some of my favorite actors."
Deschanel will next be seen in Barry Levinson's all-star comedy 'Rock The Casbah', alongside Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Kate Hudson and Danny McBride.
Troubled actor Shia LaBeouf pulled out of the project last month, and has reportedly been replaced by Scott Caan in the tale of a has-been rock manager's musical misadventures in Afghanistan.

Tom Cruise is set to film scenes for 'Mission: Impossible 5' in Tenerife before the crew head to London this summer.
The 51-year-old actor is gearing up for the fifth installment of the action franchise where he will reprise the role of Ethan Hunt and the A-Lister will be landing at the largest of the Canary Islands before shooting scenes at landmarks in England's capital, according to The Sun newspaper.
A source said: "A few items are set to be filmed around London, including a motorbike chase down The Mall, followed by a boat chase scene along The Thames.
"They are also going to do some work around the Emirates Cable Cars."
Meanwhile, Jessica Chastain has been linked to the film and she is set to be Cruise's "right hand woman", reports Schmoesknow.com.
If her role is confirmed she'll star alongside Simon Pegg who will return to the big screen as Benji, and Jeremy Renner is reported to play William Brandt.
Christopher McQuarrie will direct the film, while Iron Man 3's Drew Pearce will pen the script and J.J. Abrams and Cruise will produce.

Lupita Nyong'o and Scarlett Johansson are in talks to star in 'The Jungle Book'.
The stunning actresses are both in negotiations to join Idris Elba in Disney's latest adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's classic children's book, which will be directed by 'Iron Man' helmer Jon Favreau.
Oscar-winning '12 Years a Slave' star Nyong'o is close to closing a deal to play Rakcha, a wolf mother who adopts the film's protagonist, Mowgli.
Meanwhile, Johansson - who is pregnant with her first child with fiancé Romain Dauriac - is expected to take on a voice role as Kaa, a python who eats her rival animals by hypnotising them.
Kaa is one of the film's main villains along with Shere Khan, a man-eating tiger voiced by 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom' star Elba.
'The Jungle Book' script comes from Justin Marks, whose previous credits include 'Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li'.
The movie is expected to be live action while also utilising CGI.
Johansson already has a strong relationship with Disney, starring in several Marvel movies including recently released blockbuster, 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'.
She is currently filming 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron', reprising her role as Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow.
Meanwhile, a role in 'The Jungle Book' would mark Nyong'o's first new project since winning an Oscar in March.

Jason O'Mara was worried about "humiliating" himself as Batman.
The 41-year-old actor lends his voice to the iconic superhero in animation 'Son of Batman' and was worried about how he was going to do the character justice.
He said: "I just didn't want to mess it up, to be honest with you. It's celebrating 75 years of Batman. We've had so many great actors play it so well, over the years, in film, on television, and through voice work, that I just didn't want to completely humiliate myself."
O'Mara experimented with different voice types to try and find something that would "work" before he settled on what he used.
Talking to collider.com, he said: "So, when I talked to [voice director] Andrea Romano about how to find this Batman voice, it was really about finding something that was authentic, but also was unique to me. I didn't want to cover ground that had already been covered, so it took awhile. It's like writing a song. You do one version and go, 'Oh, that sounds like someone else, or something else.' And then, you do another version and go, 'No, I'm forcing that. I'm pushing that.' And so, you try to come across something where you can go, 'Yeah, that could work.'"

Jerry Bruckheimer says bad timing has set back the studio's efforts to make 'Bad Boys 3'.
The 70-year-old star - who co-produced the 1995 original which starred Will Smith as Detective Mike Lowrey - insists a sequel to the 2003 follow-up is in the works but due other commitments the studio and actors haven't been able to make the movie.
He told collider.com: "It's so funny because we'll get Sony real excited to make the movie, and then Will [Smith] is off doing two movies. And then, Will will come back and be real excited about it, and Sony will say, 'Well, maybe it's not the time for this.' And then, 'Ride Along' came out and was a big hit, and now they're all excited to make the movie, but Will is off doing something else. It's just trying to get everybody together to make it. But, we're working on the script. We have a lot of faith and hope that we'll do it."
Meanwhile, Bruckheimer - who was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last year - is working on 'Deliver Us from Evil' which will be released this summer.

Jessica Chastain is in talks to play the late Marilyn Monroe in 'Blonde'. The 37-year-old actress is circling a deal to star as the 50s icon in the adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates book of the same name, reports TheWrap.com. The novel - which was a fi...

Quentin Tarantino's lawsuit against Gawker has been dismissed.
The award-winning director was furious when the website posted a link to a leaked copy of his 'Hateful Eight' script, forcing him to scrap plans for the Western, but the site maintains there is no case and says directing people to an online version of the script was fair use as it hadn't "reproduced" the material.
A federal judge in California has granted the website's motion to dismiss the director's copyright infringement lawsuit since Tarantino failed to display particular details regarding the infringement facilitated by Gawker's actions.
However, the filmmaker can re-file the case if he makes key changes.
In an order obtained by Deadline.com - titled 'Quentin Tarantino -v- Gawker Media' - Judge John Walter said: "The Court grants Defendant's Motion on the grounds that Plaintiff has failed to adequately plead facts establishing direct infringement by a third party or facts that would demonstrate Defendant either caused, induced, or materially contributed to the alleged direct infringement of those third party infringers.
"Plaintiff merely speculates that some direct infringement must have taken place.
"For example, Plaintiff's Complaint fails to allege the identity of a single third-party infringer, the date, the time, or the details of a single instance of third-party infringement, or, more importantly, how Defendant allegedly caused, induced, or materially contributed to the infringement by those third parties."
Tarantino claims he only gave the script for 'The Hateful Eight' to six people and believes one of them must have let their agent see it, who subsequently sent it on.
