Shelved when Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected governor of California, Warner Brothers-based producer Jerry Weintraub’s remake of “Westworld” is now a go, with director Tarsem (The Cell) set to helm, Variety reported.

Schwarzenegger’s representatives insisted to the trade paper that he’s not involved with the project at this point. But it’s certainly not a given that he won’t be in “Westworld” should he decide not to seek re-election in next year’s election or should he lose the race. His current terms ends in January 2007.

The governor was attached to star in “Westworld” and to produce with Weintraub before swearing off his acting career in 2003 to turn to politics.

There is no screenplay or writer yet attached to the “Westworld” remake. In early 2003, when Schwarzenegger was still attached, writers Michael Ferris and John Brancato had been set to pen the remake.
