Arnold’s Cancelled Horror Movie: ‘Steroid’

Arnold had a good run in the 1980s, but what about the movies he almost made?  One such movie was a horror movie titled “Steroid”, a movie directed by Stuart Gordon.  Schwarzenegger would apparently have gone on a rampage.  As BlumHouse tells the story;

“They were supposed to make this awesome movie together called STEROID,” explained Begos on the podcast. “I was working for Stuart when the whole Chris Benoit thing happened, and we talked about how shocking that was. And he told me he was supposed to do a story like that in the 80’s with Arnold Schwarzenegger. He flipped through his filing cabinet and pulled out a script called “STEROID.” He said in it, Schwarzenegger plays a wrestler that’s addicted to steroids and he ends up going crazy and going on a murder spree through New York City. And I’m thinking holy shit!”

This was supposed to come out (or be made) in 1987.  This makes me wonder if maybe Predator took its place, in which case we definitely got the better movie.  Although a movie about a roid-raged Schwarzenegger stiffing pissants throughout New York certainly sounds manly as fuck!
