Schwarzenegger talks about his possible TERMINATOR: SALVATION cameo!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I think McG's TERMINATOR is looking pretty good... that last trailer was fantastic and I hope all the trailers and bits of footage I've seen are indicative of the whole and we get a cool, fun kick-ass movie. Now, the fact that it's PG-13 doesn't float my boat. I hate this trend of taking R-rated franchises and PG-13ing them... Die Hard, Predator, Alien, now Terminator. But that said, if it's a good movie then it's a good movie, doesn't matter what the rating is. And I love the idea of computer technology being there to give 1984's Arnold Schwarzenegger a cameo here. I think it could be done to rather cool effect as a glimpse here, a nod of what's to come. As long as they don't winky-winky at the audience too much, we'll be fine. I'm far more concerned about this talk about giving Kyle Reese a reason for wearing his '80s Nikes (how about that's what he found when he time traveled back to 1984 naked? Hrmm?) than giving Schwarzenegger some screen time. Anyway, Arnold did a twitter Q&A with his followers (his account is @schwarzenegger) and was asked about his appearance in T:S. This is what he had to say, which gives a context for what his cameo would be if it indeed comes to pass. Here's the Governor:

Right now, they're looking at the technology and see if it is possible to create a technology where they can use my image in the film without me actually filming, because I made it clear I don't have the time... and if they shoot outside the state, I would not participate... But I would be willing to be in the movie if they get the technology together. We have a great relationship with the people making the movie.. McG is the director, he's a terrific talented guy. I'm going to be at the premiere, I told him I want to be as supportive as possible. I think that within the next week or so, we will see if they are technologically able to do that. It's terrific because they basically take technology out of Terminator 1 and use that walk of mine, and somehow bring it in... it's just a brief scene, where we see one of the leads run into a room and he sees the future terminators because it's kind of a prequel... then he gets thrown around, then he goes in another room and there's other terminators, so there's supposed to be all these new terminators. I think it's cool to continue on with the franchise, and in case I want to jump over again and get into the acting when we're through here.

And am I the only one who gets the feeling that Schwarzenegger might be eyeballing a return to films after "we're through here" from that statement? Don't know if I'd like to see an old terminator, but I'd love to see the big guy come back a screen near me.
