Prochnow Pumping for 'Arnold' Bio

A&E is in negotiations with German actor Jurgen Prochnow ("The English Patient") to play the role of Arnold Schwarzenegger in its upcoming biopic about the multifacted actor, "See Arnold Run."

The cable channel has already cast Roland Kickinger ("Son of the Beach") to play a younger version of Schwarzenegger in "Run," which will focus on his successful bid to become governor of California as well as his early bodybuilding career.

The project is scheduled to begin shooting next month in southern California and could air as early as the fourth quarter. A&E declined comment.

Still to be cast is the role of Schwarzenegger's wife, Maria Shriver.
