Are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton Involved With May’s TERMINATOR SALVATION?? McG Speaks To The Issue At WonderCon!!
I am – Hercules!!
From a SciFiWire.com story posted Saturday:
McG told SCI FI Wire at WonderCon in San Francisco on Saturday that he's still talking with Linda Hamilton about reprising the role of Sarah Connor in his upcoming Terminator Salvation and that he is also meeting with California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger next week about some possible involvement.
The governor has seen the film, McG added, and said it's a matter of the governor's speaking with his staff to see if it's appropriate.
There have long been rumors of Hamilton adding posthumous Sarah Connor narration to the effort, and rumors also that Arnold’s face would be mapped over younger Austrian bodybuilder Roland Kickinger’s.
“Salvation” completed principal photography some time ago and hits cinemas May 21 (less than three months from now!), so it’s kind of suspicious that Arnold’s participation remains a maybe.
Put a gun to my head, my guess would be that the governor’s noggin does indeed put in a “Salvation” appearance, but the director is trying to manage expectations for what will be a smallish element of the new movie. It’d certainly be supercool to keep the Austrian Oak involved in what remains his most popular franchise; the politician/muscleman continues to be the visual element I miss most when I catch TV’s “Sarah Connor Chronicles.”

Some voice-overs would be cool.

Would be cool with Sarah Connor but not so sure about Arnold...
-
..but since they aren't really following the original timeline anymore, it really doesn't matter.
-
I think they'll both be in the film in some capacity, all of this "what if?" drama is just for publicity & hype. Let's face it, most of us will go see it regardless.
-
Or I'll smash your fucking lights!
-
It ain't saying much, but he's a marginally better actor than Governor. Go back to action movies Arnie!
-
McG was very coy about whether Arnold was in the film or not. So, maybe they're still trying to work it out or he doesn't want to spoil it. The new trailer is very cool and McG is one of the most enthusiastic directors I've ever seen in person. (including Zach Snyder) He was very funny, even mocking the Bale outburst several times. "What don't you understand?" Lots of exciting but SFX incomplete scenes that rocked the house. It was shown out of context, so it was kind of hard to place it, but it looks very intriguing. The cast was very fun and entertaining, and Bryce and Moon were totally hot. (WB: show Moon's tits!) looking forward to seeing it...
-
That's what some guy somewhere said.

Just got back from the Con and J.J. Abrams showed the new STAR TREK trailer (which will be attached to WATCHMEN later this week). Really intense, and it looks like a bang-up job. The Esplanade Room crowd went nuts. Guess the biggest revelation was that Pike recruited Kirk by invoking the elder Kirk's death saving a ship under his brief command. It looks big - another great crowd shot at Starfleet Academy, and other stuff that whizzed by so fast I can't remember it all...Oh, and the panel was made up of Quinto, Saldana, Pine, Orci, Burk, and J.J. It's too bad that the panel started 20 minutes late and got cut off early. For the first time, I'm actually kinda jazzed about this flick...
-
Schwarzenegger's face now reminds me of the classic Eraser line "You're LUGGAGE!"
-
- that McG might actually be able to pull this thing off.... but I'm not holding my breath.....
After all - this IS the guy who made both Charlie's Angels flicks.... -
It seems as though the t 800's were supposed to all have different faces originally...why else would they have been so hard to spot? Obviously they threw that idea out the window w/ T 2 and T 3. Kickinger actually does look alot like a young Arnold tho, and it would be cool to see him and Linda involved in some form...
-
Want to be an actor? Resign. Until then, do your fucking job.
-
Remember, the Terminators with skin were infiltrators (In the first movie, during Reese's dream sequence, the Terminator that gets into the bunker fits a Schwarzenegger physical stereotype, but wasn't him.) Only thing you need is a big frame to cover the endoskeleton, but even then it could be smaller.
-
Well, one presumes youth-ifying him would be part of the digital process... Although it would be pretty funny to see Arnie's 60 year old mug mapped onto a young guy's body.
-
Actually, the terminator in the dream sequence of the first movie was Arnold's bodybuilding buddy, Franco Columbu. Arnold was only supposed to be from one line, the model 101 series. There was an abandoned sequence planned for T2 which was to show John Connor's team infiltrating Skynet, and capturing the Arnold model to send it back in time. They actually made designs for the terminator storage room, and we would have seen different racks with many different models of terminators, including a female line. Anyways, McG is still trying to cock tease the fans, because he knows come May word will get out that this movie will be a piece of shit. wonder if he and bale have had any more altercations since that last outburst? McG has been thoroughly pussywhipped (or should that be penis whipped?). He's everybody's bitch.

I want to see him in this and hope when he's done being Gov
by allpowerfulwizardofoz
he does get back to acting. I for one am an Arnold fan.
-
SkyNet had to infiltrate the old folks' homes somehow...
-
I mean, really? What's the point? I bet you people also read son-of-Frank Herbert Dune books.
-
The T-800's and T-850's from T3 had many different Model Numbers all with different faces. The Model 101's just happen to look like Arnold. They were sent back in T2 and T3 because of the emotional connection to Connor.
-
the government schtick because with or without him California is getting ready to be a fucking wasteland of failing banks and power grid dropouts. Drop the fork and pick up some weights Arnold. Your public needs you!
-
Good Sat-dee ev-nin fellars & fellarettes. Truth be told...I am honestly really REALLY eager to see this flick. While I'd love to hear Sarah Connor add her two cents worth...I really don't care to much about seeing Arnold in anything more than some time twist of John sending him back to the past for a visit...but that's about it. I really believe that Bale is going to shock a lot of people with this role & I also think that ole' McG is going to do likewise. I just don't see this film being the smokin' butter bean at the bottom of the toilet that most people keep slamming it to be. I'm pretty much givin' McG & his effort here the same benefit of doubt that I have the Watchmen & Snyder. Can't wait.
-
I know some people disagree (and I'm truly shocked by that), but I thought T3 was nothing but cash-grab garbage. There is much room for improvement.
-
Hello!...It is FUCKING Dis-tract-ing!
Personally...I just hope McG can figure out a way insert the Bale Rage into the DVD commentary! -
..."Skynet can be prevented if California can only receive a $40 trillion forgiveble bridgeloan for the next 21 years!"
-
those are the same people who went ape shit over Attack of The Clones and Transformers. They were just happy to be breathing the same air as Zoe before they jumped on B.A.R.T. and back to the La Quinta for an all night session with their signed Uhura standees Whenever you all get excited..just remember these two words...BOB ORCI..and that should ground your expectations a bit.

The Bale/Bryce Scenes Are Going To Be FUCKING DISTRACTING
by acquanetta
Seriously, is anyone going to be able to watch them without hearing that rant? Instead of Arnold, they should let Shane Hurlbut cameo in the background.
-
They should have just done the show on another possible saviour for humanity, or hired Edward Furlong to reprise his role as young John Conner on his own, perhaps in search of his Mom while Terminators hunt him. That would have kept continuity for Terminator mythology, but no, Fox got greedy???
-
which was good, because it was very annoying
-
McQueef smells a turd, he's trying to muster. This movie will suck, Linda please stay away, you are too damn good.
-
all played out.
...T4...Transformers 2...Star Trek...Marvels cheapness...Bales rant...Script Girls tits...Harry's lazy quick write ups...not much cool at all. WHERE in the FUCK is SUMMER? -
And she is FUCKING DISTRACTING because she is hot!
-
or ill fart on an Arnold Button CG face job
-
You have a point there, Conspiracy, and Orci was again pointed out to be the Trek fanboy ace to handle continuity on the script, which has me a bit worried. He spent much of the time on the panel by indiscreetly handing out cash to other panelists who praised the TREK script. You can never tell if a flick is good or bad from a well edited trailer, but there was some striking imagery in this trailer. It'll likely be online by this time next week, so you can judge for yourself.Oh, and yes, TRANSFORMERS was a steaming pile, but why no love for ATTACK OF THE CLONES? I had the good luck to see the IMAX cut of the flick and gotta say it was considerably better than the regular theatrical version. It really clicked along, cutting out the bulk of the vapid romance & political intrigues, and just stuck to the Obi-Wan gumshoe investigation and the Clone War action. I wish LucasCorp™ would release that version again. It really was quite well done and the sprawling shots at the end were breathtaking when re-rendered for the IMAX screen. In fact, I'll go so far as to say the CLONES IMAX cut is my third favorite of the Star Wars flicks.
-
I never had any hope for this show, but gave it a shot as a Terminator fan. Week after week, it consistently blows my mind how great this series is. I no longer need Arnold involved in this franchise - the TV shows proves you can tell phenomenally deep, compelling, exciting stories in this universe without him. Lena Headey and Thomas Dekker have totally taken over the roles they didn't even originate, and now I have a hard time even watching the actors who came before them. It's odd, but wonderful.
-
I know it's quite the paradox but AICN is actually loading slower WITHOUT them. Is it the economy or tech glitches? Harry, I click those damn links constantly to boost revenue for your site!
-
Gotta say, I'm enjoying this a helluva lot, too. I expected another BIONIC WOMAN craptacular, but the stories are actually top-notch. Sadly, I think the writing is rather too sophisticated for much of the fanboy crowd... or, at least, the portion of the fanboy crowd that only wants explosions and Summer Glau naked. You know who you are! :-P
-
The last few episodes of T:SCC have gone nowhere and have been pretty boring. And by boring, I don't mean a complete lack of explodinating goodness (which I don't mind), it's really the issue of not having an immediate threat (like Cromartie or a Terminator, which has been the lynchpin of every Terminator iteration). The lack of an immediate threat shifts everything to the impending doom of Skynet. . .which we all know isn't going to happen anytime soon, and therefore makes the show lack a sense of direction and purpose.
There's a bunch of other problems, too. . .mostly like how the liquid metal terminator, the FBI agent, and John Henry have spent countless episodes doing nothing, and not progressing any element of the story. There are other things, but every time those 3 characters appear on-screen, everything comes to a halt.
T:SCC has its good points, of course. It's just not very consistent. Sometimes, it's bloody amazing. Other times (and more frequently, unfortunately) it's just plain boring, and frustratingly so. -
good storytelling.
-
has turned into a giant pile of shit. the last bunch of episodes have been awful. ever since the episode with the tranny (like no one knew it was a guy).. i just skimmed through the latest episode.. and by skimmed i mean i watched it in 4 minutes. it was sarah in a sleep clinic? wtf? what is this garbage???
-
and not a full blow series. They obviously didn't have enough material for ten episodes let alone half a season and one full season. The show is really stretched out.
-
cue new AICN catchphrase.
-
Arnold probably won't appear. He's too busy fucking up our state.
-
Compared to what? Conan? Arnie's films haven't ever been much as far as "franchises" go.
-
Best man at Arnold Schwarzenegger's wedding.
-
Well, the part was played by the actress Dinah Lenney, so it's not like they didn't try to hide that plot twist at least a bit.

Come on, how did the oak taste? And did you spit or swallow?
-
How come people are still spelling Connor wrong?
-
And its very exciting. To get Bale, McG had to amp up the drama. He said fot the story to work it had to be complelling with no FX, so he and Bale did read through like a play, and Bale was happy that the story was strong enough. Empire have also seen 40 mins of it and say it was amazing, saying that when directors show them stuff they usually make excuses about what they think of it, but not in this case.Also this Sam Worthington could be something special too. Officially very jazzed for this now :)
-
Yeh deffo the show has delivered well above what most were expecting it to be and seriously Lena H has made that role all her own.Has anyone got a glimse of what Linda H looks like lately?... just aswell its only a voice role she is being offered, though I heard her twin has aged rather much better so maybe she could do it instead.
-
then i dont see why Arnie cant.
-
I thought John Henry questioning why God had made humans with only so many limbs a few weeks ago was a particularly thought provoking and nice little scene. As people have said it screws continuity sideways but for what it is it's very good indeed.
-
and i hear terminator salvation is the same thing so he will have no problems. as long as he remembers to pull out
-
thats what he said
-
Sorry Whedon fans, you lose yet again.
-
Fuck you McG for not sticking up for the DP and being Bale's personal jizz mopper.
-
It's still McG, it's still PG-13, it's still including a laughable transforming giganto-bot and uncrewed motobikes.Who the fuck cares about this trainwreck anyway? It will be full of 'splosions and nice visuals, but hollow below the candy surface.
-
The one where they went to Mexico was practically a mini-Tarantino movie. And the ep where Summer Glau tracks down the hidden terminator was very cool. But now lately, I got to jump on the stretched thin band wagon. It's been thin soup since the season re-started after the loooong Christmas break. And why not more Summer Glau? She's the best character in the show and she hardly gets a line any more. The writing has taken a major turn for the worse. It seems like the sky's the limit on what that show could do and there should never be a pause in the action or the plot twists. Invention should rule, but I don't know what the hell they're doing now. For instance, why hasn't Summer Glau offered to hook up with young John Conner? If she perceives his girlfriend as being a threat, then why hasn't she offered to take her place? I thought that was being hinted at in one scene and then they just let it drop, went nowhere with it, zip, nada. That would have been a cool plot twist even if nothing had come of it. I really want to like this show, I want it to do well, but it seems like the producers don't even care. Stupid fuckers.
-
This movie will rock and you know it
-
I hope so. I do not want this movie to suck. But I'm afraid it will suck. Royal. Monkey. Dick.
-
invokes Peter Fonda's talent (zippo; try to recount a memorable scene from CHARLIE'S ANGELS). As for convention crowds, they parasitically feed upon press hyperbole (watching trailers, they pledged that "THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING WOMAN will be a classic", "2010 will be better than 2001", etc.).
-
BALOOONS
-
The Terminator universe is larger and way more exciting than one actor. Sure I miss Arnold, but I could live without him in another film. Also it would look really damn sloppy given CA's fucked economy. It's not a good time for any politician to return to acting without looking like a douche.
-
Thank you, Magic 8-Ball. Putting Arnold's face on Kickinger's body would be an insult. The guy is his own talent, he's not a master thespian but he's an ok actor and he deserves to see that used, not tossed aside turning his performances into mere mannequinisms.
-
word.
-
Look at this photo. He was on the set in mid-July, just prior to Bales crazy rant. It appears hes in street clothes, but not because he wasnt filming. Rather, he was there watching the scene that was being filmed, in which he would do a voice over.
http://www.comingsoon.net/nextraimages/batmanmeetsterminator.jpg -
it's a holiday classic!
-
Also, it would kill the film but why not just send a T1000 to kill baby Sarah Connor? Its not like anyone back then could or would know how to stop a BIG FUCKING ARNOLD ROBOT. Dumb, but at the same time, it would end all this stupid fucking nonsense.
-
Because of the butterfly effect. If you change events too far from the central event of Terminator, the self-realization of Skynet, then you take the chance that event will never occur.
-
It's explained in the first movie why they can't go back farther. Most of the records were lost in the war and the only info they had on Sarah Connor, before she went into hiding with John, was that she lived in Los Angeles in 1984.
-
i think summer tells john she loves him this season.. last episode or something.. personally, id fuck that terminator! even if i just got head.. or made it strip and stand their while i jacked off. its all good!
-
This is Axl's big opportunity to get Chinese Democracy out there...Terminator Salvation music video. ;)
-
There was a show on TV about a million years ago called Man and Machine starring a really hot Yancy Butler playing an android. The show hinted at some freaky android love to come but it was canceled before it got that far. No doubt the same thing will happen with the Sarah Conner Chrons. Curse you, premature show cancelers!
-
they've already done the digital head thing, a la The Running Man - and shown him the movie, including the footage, but he hasn't yet agreed to let them get away with it coz his "staff" might decide it's not "appropriate"
-
It's fuckin' DISTRACTING!!
-
NO weezin the jui-uice! NO WEEZIN THE JUICE!
Best. Talkback. Name. EVER. -
I would you me Sir, to squeeze you some fresh milkshake?
-
he said: "Would you like me sir, to squeeze you some fresh milkshake?"
-
= Arnold holding out for $10M for one day's worth of voiceover work.
-
And still no remake of Predator with the original cast? Give me a fuckin' answer!!

Can we just bury the corpse already?
Just let it go guys, it's dead and we gotta bury it or it's gonna get the whole village sick.
Sure, it was once fun to poke the decomposing body with a stick, now and then, but it's really, really decayed now and summer is coming.
I've got at least three shovels out in garage... -
...a huge sum of money from his ugly mug being pasted on the other actor and use that money to stop the furloughs of us poor state workers. BTW, Stallone is way cooler!
