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.

Seriously! twitter.com/outlawvern

Will be so disappointing. Hope it works out.
-
sounds pretty tiny whatever it is.
-
Hope remains!
-
Life imitating art...
-
Arnie's IMDB page has him listed as featuring in both TERMINATOR: SALVATION and THE EXPENDABLES.
Hope it's correct on both counts. Would be great to see the big guy on screen again.
Yeah, I know I was kinda dissing him about LAST ACTION HERO and some of his other 'lesser' flicks in the CRANK talkback, but I love the big lunk really.
The hits more than make up for the misses - TERMINATOR, TOTAL RECALL, CONAN THE BARBARIAN, and PREDATOR. Four of the coolest genre flicks ever. -
And what do you know? He's the only person to ever make a good Terminator flick.
-
basically to get R anymore you have to have genitals onscreen or sexual situations. R isn't a strong indicator of violence these days, especially with sci-fi. everyone needs to relax. BRUNO is R and it's not because of violence.
-
What in the shit is going on? Let's all plug into this new fad. It's EXCITING.
-
Not shocked at all by this, hearing mcg in interviews sayin itall b whatever itall be, was preety much sayin this is abit gay and its gonna be a pg. If the script was full of swearing hardcore violence and robots steping on faces he wudda know about it.
So the pussy has deliberaty made it soft as shite
What a tosser! -
YOU DON'T FUCKING KNOW HOW TO WORK WITH ACTORS. THAT'S WHAT THAT IS, MAN. I'M TELLING YOU."
-
I just wrote this over at Coming Soon, but here we go.
To all the underage and/or douchebag jerk-offs that want Terminator to be PG 13, I say:
1)He's "The Terminator", not "the guy who menaces and scares while giving superficial flesh wounds". He TERMINATES in any form available to him, whether he blows off heads, cuts them in half, or pulls out spines. PG 13 would greatly restrict the scenes of termination.
2) If a big robot is chasing me, and is shooting large caliber weapons in an attempt to kill me, I'm going to throw the word "FUCK!!" around a few times, not "God Damn!" or "crap!" Again, PG 13 restricts the reality of how someone would actually react in a situation...even in a fantasy movie.
This "Terminator" looks like a total ripoff of Battlestar: Galactica (robots that don't know they're robots!) combined with Transformers (giant fighting robots this time!!). Bale is the ONLY saving grace. McG is a douche of titanic proportion, and sounds like something you order with a Quarter Pounder. -
Schwarzenegger has already signed on for part VI for definite. I promise you.
-
Judging by his posts, I am going to assume that he is using Twitter itself to mock how it's impossible to say anything of any substance in 140 characters. At least that's how I'm choosing to interpret it. Otherwise, I'm not sure I'd be able to sleep at night.
-
Remember when they were pushing to change the constitution so Arnold could be President? Yeah... how's that working out for California?
-
No more stories about whether Arnold's in this movie or not, until we know for sure."He's in it. He's not. He's in it. He's not. He's in it. He's not. He's in it. He's not."Is anyone else sick of this one?

As long as Schwarzenegger is still in the movie credits...
by gibsonusa returns
Such that he is still technically in all of the Terminator movies, for when he comes back for T5!
-
T2 is incredibly violent grim and has mucho swearing in it.
Not a shitting chance would this be a PG-13
-
i didn't get that, why would there even be a debate on why he wears them..it not like he left the future wearing themi think quint tried humour and failed
-
...I'm a last minute kind of guy too, but damn. Besides, if Forrest Gump could pretty realistically get it on in a three way with J.F.K. and Marilyn Monroe twenty years ago this shouldn't be a problem.
-
In a real role that is... I don't really care if he's got a cameo or not. I wanna see Arnold back in a big action movie of his own.
-
Do you honestly think a hired gun like McG has any control whatsoever about the rating of a $100,000+ multimedia franchise installment that is owned by a multinational conglomerate? If so, you are very naive.
-
...so people can finally say (agree) "Yeah, I guess they shoulda stopped after the second one.
-
That was supposed to be $100,000,000. If it was $100,000, he could rate it whatever the fuck he wanted.
-
I'm curious. I mean, this isn't just one or two Terminators sent back in time. This is the future war! There are supposed to be robots destroying everything right? And humans fighting back, right? So how do you do that PG-13 style? Just have zoomed-back shots of explosions, with it implied that characters were blown up?
I still think this could be an awesome movie. Just wonderin how they gonna pull it off. :) -
It could happen.
-
Just cus hes a hired gun doesnt mean he cant get his balls out on the table.
The fuckin matrix was an r rated flick and that made a shit load.
The terminator name alone is a selling point.
R rated films work, i dont get you fuckin americans you can take fucking 2 year olds to an r rated flick. The 2nd its budget goes about 50 mill the big suits loose there brain cells and get scared and cutt out any balls.
-
TERMINATOR: SALVATION is being released on May 21st. Less than four weeks away. Four weeks.
With that in mind this smells of bullshit. Are we really meant to believe that the film is still being shot? That Arnie's cameo is still undecided? That this isn't resolved? Whaaat?
Methinks Mr Schwarzenegger is teasing us - either that or the release date is gonna be pushed waaay back. -
I dont believe that you are still figuring technology out this close to movie premiere. Duh.
-
Apr 22, 2009 3:28:29 PM CDT
No doubt they can do it. Didn't he see Benjamin Button?
by chuck_chuckwalla
Arnie, consider doing King Conan when you're done, and get Peter Jackson or Guillermo del Toro to direct it. Hell maybe even Stallone? And make it a very hard R.
-
I'm expecting to see a lot of poisonings.
-
Ratings don't make movies. And PG-13 means more robots than humans are being torn to shit, which is a solid trade off if you ask me.
-
If they shot the other guys body (Roland K?) and head and are trying to map Arnies head on realistically, I can see it still being undecided - if they can make it work they go with Arnie, if it looks like crap they will just have the other guys normal face...
-
I would love to see this get made. Which means it probably never will.
-
Who needs the real thing anymore? It's time to get James Cameron to invent the real thing to be used in any future Terminator films as well as any future Conan's...The Running Man 2, True Lies 2, Eraser 2, and Kindergarden Cop 2.
-
He ran for governor on a platform of fiscal responsibility and no new taxes. What do have now? A bigger budget mess and some of the highest taxes in the country. I refuse to willingly give him any more of my money. His policies forcibly take enough as it is. I don't care if T4 is the greatest fucking movie in the history of movies. If Schwarzenegger is in it I will not see it.
-
I don't know enough about the final processes of making thousands of prints, shipping them to cinemas, etc
Any of you film making 'insiders' know how long the final lockdown on a movie would have to be before the release date?
Are we talking days, weeks, or months? -
Now there's a thought.
-
...an exacto-knife...dust that thing off.
-
"Balls out on the table?" What the fuck are you talking about? This is a billion-dollar industry, not recess. McG is a guy who was hired to do a job, which was to make a movie that could get a PG-13 if the suits decided that that would make it more profitable. If he didn't do that job, he would be fired and someone else would be put in his place who would do what he was told. I guess the fact that he wanted to keep his job and not commit career suicide makes him "gay."
-
...especially the last part. Suddenly a reason to hope that T4 is a success. I hope he gets back to acting in time to stop Ratner from screwing up Conan. Fire that moron and get Milius on board.
-
Just a recap show. unless you were just fucking around, in which case carry on.
-
...there's no real info here. I PROTEST!
-
...when they read what he had said/typed? Seriously. I couldn't even just read it. I kept hearing that accent throughout.
-
Does PG-13 mean we won't have to see Arnie's man-boobs? Then I'm all for it.
-
Apr 22, 2009 3:45:48 PM CDT
The movie opens in a month, they're still discussing this?
by ricarleite2
What, they'll pull a "Silent Movie" and beg him to appear on it a few hours before the premier? Also, Arnold should write WITH the accent.
-
Get over the rating! The movie will either be awesome or not so awesome. Who gives a shit about a bit of swearing or blood. It will be the story that counts. Arnie rules, but Iam not geting my hopes up. I am also viewing this movie as a new series that way if it is not so good I can just forget it exsists. Just like the TV show.
-
I was thinking the same thing.
-
tom arnold gotta eat..
-
The same will happen with SALVATION
-
Conan will gently stab enemies off-screen and make sweet love to one woman under a fur.
-
And how about this one? No more shitty movies. Pull a Stallone and reboot your career with some solid genre movies...
-
I work in CGI and I can tell you that they still have time to bang this out provided it's like a one or two shot cameo.
You gotta figure it might last 15-20 seconds max. Okay, so at 24fps, that's anywhere from 360 to 480 frames. Put a roomful of guys and gals working on the hi-res scanning of the original T1 negatives, modelling, mapping, animating/mo-capping, lighting and compositing (onto background plates that have presumably already been shot) and it's conceivable that they could get it done.
I can't imagine the rendering would take much time. We run a render farm here that can cook 1000 HD frames a night. And that's NOTHING compared to what a place like ILM is running.
The only thing I'm unfamiliar with is how long it takes to strike prints. I might be WAY off (and I'd love for someone to confirm or deny this) but I'm thinking maybe a week to strike and distribute a few thousand prints? So that gives them - what? - three weeks?
The thing is, the whole time I was reading that I was thinking the cameo might be lined up for the NEXT installment. That's the way I took it anyway. -
But come back to movies, please! Team up with Cameron for True Lies 2! In 3D! And with Eliza Dushku all grown up and doing the striptease this time (in 3D). Maybe Cameron can cast Arnold as Ido in Battle Angel?And on a further note, not a fucking chance in hell would T2 be a PG-13 today.
-
Who the fuck was Arnold talking to? Other celebrities? Does anyone who's not remotely famous actually use Twitter?
-
Not as an old terminator but maybe as the real human that that model of terminator is based on or meant to look like... It could be cool!
-
I think what people are saying that T2 as we all know it would earn a PG-13, but that there's no way that any studio would allow a movie of that budget size (adjusted for 2009 dollars) to come out rated-R in this day and age.
-
"I think what people are saying IS NOT that T2 as we all know it would earn a PG-13..."
Stupid fingers. They're all tired from diddling your mom last night. -
From one to five. Big deal, like 13 year olds don't hear it all day?
-
We went through this whole idiotic 'T2 would not be R now' spiel a few weeks back. The word 'fuck' is allowed to be said once in a PG-13 movie. Fuck is said a lot in T2, therefore it would still be an R. Thank you.
-
Arnold, as soon as you're done running California into the ground, you need to reprise your role as Conan and just conquer the shit out of the movie business, Don't allow some hack director to do a half assed reboot, bring back Milius and dominate!
-
Wasnt he gonna be the next Arnold? The Rock should have been in T4. McG you're one of us right? Why not that? :P
-
What's this "McG is the director, he's a terrific talented guy." crap. That doesn't sound like Aaarnie. Get Tony from the d-generation.
-
The guys seems to have the right attitude, and seems geniunely determined not to eff up what T2 brought. Therefore the movie should be good.
-
Is Bale okay with this? I need to know. I hope this will not distract from His performance.
-
the flaming bag of douche that are the MPAA would allow more than 4 "fucks" in a PG-13 movie, is if it's important to history. Sounds odd, I know. "All the Presidents Men" got a PG and it had 8 or so "fucks" in it. "Running on Empty" got a PG-13 and contained 7 "fucks". "Hero" with Dustin Hoffman was PG-13, and contained 6 "fucks" in it. One was used sexually, which immediatly earns you an R rating. "Running on Empty" is one of my favorite movies, but as far as being important to history or whatever, I'm not so sure. Same with "Hero". It's a decent movie, but as far as being an important film, uh...no. So yeah, the MPAA are a little off. This message is rated R.

Arnold wants feedback on his return to films...should he continue? HELL FUCKING YES! Both Sly and Arnold still rule the action genere some 30 years later. Arnold hinted at another TRUE LIES in his statements and we all know us fans want him back as CONAN...and then with T5 and T6! Sly and Arnold can finish out their career with EXPENDABLES 2 AND 3 ;) Add another Cameron and Arnold reunion there as well. BTW, the first TERMINATOR trilogy was R rated. I am fine with the next 3 films being PG-13.
-
The human race will become so occupied reading each others inane thoughts moment-by-moment that all progress and human activity will stop. That is when the AIs will make their move.
Talk backs are one thing but, does everyone on the planet have to communicate their most inane thought minute by minute.
"I had a cheese burger for lunch."
"Traffic is really bad today."
"My boss is an asshole."

Just when the fuck to we see the Terminator go back to 84?
by orionsangels
I assumed his cameo involved making him look like the Terminator from the first film and showing how the machines send him back to 1984. Michael Biehn returning as Reece, showing when John Conner sends him back to 1984, I want consistency here in the story folks, not to mention continuity.
-
read that message with the Arnold voice in their head?
-
--- http://www.thearnoldfans.com/news/1450.htm ---Arnold: I'm so consumed with what I am doing now... if I do a good job... then all kinds of opportunities would be open and I don't know, is it going to be in entertainment, or lead some environmental group worldwide... the job that is at a higher level is not available to me to be president. What will be interesting to me is to find out what do the people really see me doing? What is it they think I should jump into and do in the future? I would love to hear that, because people are always coming up to me with interesting ideas, so I would like to get feedback from the people on that. Just tell me "Hey Schwarzenschnitzel, I think you should go back into movies and do True Lies 15!" Exactly, I'll do another movie with Danny DeVito! Or go back and help with Obama in some capacity, whatever, I have no idea what they will come up with!
-
In the long run, Arnie has done a very fine job as governor of California! When his term is up January 2011, it would be the best time for him to go back to starring in and finally directing his own films.
The next chapter of the Austrian oaks very successful career should be the challenge of Arnie becoming ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER THE DIRECTOR FILMMAKER! Will Arnie be as amazing behind the camera as James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson or Sylvester Stallone.
Arnie can still be a political force helping out America and California as he did in the past like in 1991 when he was on the presidents councel of physical fitness, but still making action films.
Arnie, if you read this, it's now time to become a full time director filmmaker and have some well deserved fun behind the camera like Stallone and Eastwood are doing! You don't want to reach 70 years old and not have had fun in your peak elder years directing passion projects to show to the world what an "ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER DIRECTED FILM" looks like. For example, you should direct the script you still own the rights to, CRUSADE.
If you are going to do anything involving politics again, please wait until you are in your 70's. For now, go back to your love for films and start producing and directing your own dream projects. Films that speak to you as a major filmmaker force!
Make TRUE LIES 2 your first movie once you leave office and if James Cameron only produces the Fox sequel, why don't you challenge yourself and direct it. If you and James Cameron don't want to make a sequel to TRUE LIES, why not direct KING CONAN yourself? You don't need John Milius to do it. Stallone directed ROCKY BALBOA & RAMBO himself.
Do you really want the 1992 tv movie CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT to be the last film you ever direct? -
So, no- you're not the only one who thinks he wants to do movies again. We can all read.
-
TheFlypaper, that's interesting about the rendering being possible. But with a May 21st release it still seems to me pretty inconceivable that Arnie's cameo could still be unresolved.
Aside from physically striking the prints and shipping them wouldn't Warner Bros also be obliged to run press screenings prior to the 21st?
I think Arnie's 'likeness' is in it, and for political reasons he's playing it down. -
He's not going to be gov again and he's not running for rep or sen or pres. He's been gov of one of the biggest economies in world history. He can come back to film and have some fun again. Arnold can't let Sly have all of the fun after all.
-
...in January 2011. He should start filming something next November so it can come out holiday season 2011.
-
a re-imagining of The Three Amigos? "i'll fill you so full of lead, you'll be using your dick for a pencil" you can have any three of them or all three of them use that line and it's comedy gold.

Damn You Michael Bay
-
You know you want it: a Stallone / Schwarzenegger team up (or face off?) movie... but please, not "The Muscle List" :-/

Why the fuck does Bruce get clumped in with Arnie and Sly?
by dannyglovers_dickblood
Bruce is a feminine bitch ass motherfucker. I could tear his fucking bald head off with ease. What the fuck kinda pansy ass bitch-made punk motherfuckers still sees Bruce Willis as some bad ass?
-
and more than a Cameo which Arnie is doing in the expendables
-
Cameron would probably hire Arnold for a major role in Battle Angel and that's something I would love to see, their re-pairing. Then we've got the forever in-development Conan project. With Arnold onboard it would push the project into reality. Now GET YOUR ASS TO MARS.
-
my impression was that since this is a planned trilogy, the final movie would end up connecting back to the original. a sorta full circle thing.
-
While he still has the body.
-
One of the most wretchedly awful movies ever made. Arnold should've been deported for that POS.
-
He's definitely more man than Arnold. I'll bet Mr. Terminator has tasted the cock back in the body building days.
-
I really don't like my once-upon-a-time-somewhat-hardcore-even-though-Hollywood-produced movie franchises get nuetered.I love the Terminaor franchise, I have the dvds (yes, even the third one) and the comic trade paperbacks, I AM a cash carrying fan, but I'm gonna sit this one out. My money's too hard to get to waste on watered down crap. My mind shouldn't have to do the the work to fill in the violence and gore; I already had to do that on another Christian Bale movie, The Dark Knight. Enough.
-
True Lies = one of arnolds most awesome movies...how can you not love the bathroom scene? or the beginnig scene with arnie escaping "HEAH IS MY INVITATION!"
-
I thought T4 was about the little fat kid from Hey Dad?? Maybe Ivan Reitman was pulled from the project. Ahnold thought he was a genius and thats good enough for me.
PG-13? Batman and Terminator are so similiar McG with fries, you have a guy who doesnt kill people and another who just kills people. I too would be basing my rating on that point. -
I'm not biased against Arnie movies, I think Total Recall is one fantastic ride, as are others. Just don't get the love for TL. Just terrible.
-
Wish people would stop using The Dark Knight as an example why PG-13 films can be "gritty". It's a Batman movie for fucks sake, of course they wouldn't make it an R rated film. That being said, Terminator Salvation was always going to be PG-13 anyway. If a pair of titties was the only thing giving it an R rating, obviously it wasn't going to be hardcore in the first place. Fuck you McG, WB, Sony, Pizza Hut and a very special fuck you to dixholder...(I couldn't leave that douchebag out!)
-
Couldnt a 60 yr old Arnold play the soldier that gets captured and used to be made into the T-800? In other words, couldn't Skynet "de-age" the soldier in the process of making a muscular, young robot version?
-
I think it would be interesting if he turned up in a later film as an older human, a man whom the terminator was based on, who is now a resistance fighter.
-
in T5 as other characters other than the T-800/T-850 and the T-1000 ;)

ARNOLD AND ROBERT PATRICK BACK?? AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by gibsonusa returns
One of my few all caps titles.
I always hated the idea of having a new Terminator in every single movie...like a new villian in every Batman movie or something. SUCKS.
I've literally repeat dreamed a sequence where John Connor is in a warehouse where one Robert Patrick T-1000 walks in....but then 100 more Robert Patricks walk in! Surrounded by T-1000s, thats badass!
A new human look Terminator every movie is so lame. It would be awesome to see the constructions of the T-800 and T-1000. Face it, they are what people want to see. -
I mean its a movie...it doesnt have to be realistic...then again he could always play a resistance soldier..
-
monotone voice: "I'm baaack."
gravel voice: "I'm Batman."
dude, this show practically writes itself. -
Sure the animation was bad in places due to time constraints, but damn if I wasn't convinced those still shots were Keanu and Hugo! Given that Arnold would move like an emotionless robot anyway I see this working out rather well!
-
T4 will end with Arnold and I believe McG plans to have Arnold play the character of whom the T-800 was based. Same goes for Robert Patrick.
-
In T2 didn't the T-1000 look like Robert Patrick because he killed a cop that looked like him in the past? Why then would he look like him in the future? Or is he going to play a different character? And if so, wouldn't that be confusing? Or am I missing/forgetting something? Damn, time-travel always did give me a headache.
All I do know is that having seen two seasons worth of T:SSC, it's amazing how much they got right in that show. It's a credit to the mythology. -
True. I never even considered press screenings. Us production guys never give a shit about that stuff. lol You're probably right then. The deadline would be even tighter. But I still say it's possible, especially if the film is pretty much locked save for a few little tweaks. It wouldn't be hard to drop in a 10 or 20 second shot.
Actually, now that I think about it, it seems pretty likely. Every director has that one shot that they'd love to have but could live without if push came to shove. So McG says "fuck, it would be great if we could lay Arnie's face in there somewhere on one of the bots." And the post guys try to squeeze one out. And if it works, great. If not, so what. They can always make it a goal for the next film. And next time they can probably be more elaborate with their shots because they've got plenty ramp-up time. -
So arnold "doesn't have the time to film" his role in T4, but he can make it to the premiere? That makes zero sense....They would rather spend countless dollars(in a recession, I might add) to 'fake' him being in the movie, instead of simply BEING IN THE MOVIE?!! I'm sure his part doesn't require that much time on set, and could probably be knocked out in two or three weekends...I'm sure that they would be able to arrange SOMETHING for such a huge star. And if you have to resort to either placing an actors face onto another's body, or using super-expensive computer to develop some cheap-Brandon Lee-esq technology, maybe, you should just SCRAP THE WHOLE IDEA!! Be creative and write something else, like WRITERS DO! Might be a clear sign that you shouldn't even be doing the remake, but money talks..
-
That had "the f word" 2, maybe 3 times that I counted. So some movies end up saying it more. And there was a bunch of other swearing also. And chicks in thongs and bras dancing around. Not nudity, but hey...they are allowing alot more in pg-13 movies these days.I still think this is garbage, and was hoping for the R rating...I'll be there opening day for sure. Hoping it's still good.The turncoat Republican gov would be cool to see...
-
IF Arnold says he doesn't have time, HE DOESN'T HAVE TIME!!!! Do you really think he would turn down his franchise and millions of dollars in the backend? THINK BEFORE YOU TYPE my narrow minded friend!

I know someone who worked on the trading card series for TOPPS and he claims that Arnold actually came in for a day and did some motion capture that will be used in the film. Sounded like it was meant to be a big surprise- sort of like Robert Downey's cameo in THE HULK, so it's sort of surprising to hear Arnie spilling the beans in such detail.

An alleged source close to the Conan reboot film claims the upcoming Paradox Entertainment/NuImage Conan movie (that wasn't going to star Arnold) was moving forward up to 3 weeks ago but has now stalled indefinetly. Seems the current climate of doing old franchise's with the same star(s) of the original and scoring a huge success is what changed Avi Lerner's mind. Rumored plans are to wait until November 2010 when Arnold will have more freedom to shoot a full length feature film to start filming the long awaited CONAN THE KING.
I was told producers would like to change the name from KING CONAN to give the project a fresh start so it's not confused with the old 2001 John Milius version. Supposedly, a new script will be written. Though our own Randy Jennings says the second draft he has read for KING CONAN rivals Schwarzenegger's own CRUSADE script.
It makes sense to switch from KING CONAN to CONAN THE KING because it goes with the other two Schwarzenegger movie titles of CONAN THE BARBARIAN & CONAN THE DESTROYER. Now, Conan will be King! The best part of the rumor was why Nu/Image now wants Arnold back as Conan. Avi Lerner likes the idea of GHOSTBUSTERS 3 coming together with the same cast and thinks waiting for Schwarzenegger will give him his biggest box-office hit to date. Funny thing about all this is, back in January of 2008, Arnie had ask Lerner at the premiere of RAMBO to wait for his return. Only to have Avi say he can't!
The goal is for CONAN THE KING to be released the same year Arnold leaves office because a November 2011 release date was mentioned.
OK, my thoughts on these rumors, if true, are that funding fell threw and Nu/Image couldn't muster up 80-100 million dollars for Conan's budget with no-name lead actors. Rumor has it that Mickey Rourke is being sought to play Conan, but will executives fund a 100 million Mickey Rourke Conan film, knowing he ain't a box-office powerhouse? Hell no!
I am told by Harry Knowles of aintitcool.com that Arnie will be working for one day soon on THE EXPENDABLES. Chances are, we will know more once Arnie and Avi meet up on set. http://www.thearnoldfans.com/news/1446.htm

I've always said Arnold would make a great cyborg hunter in James Cameron's BATTLE ANGEL. Hope Jim offers Arnie the chance. And if not, Arnie and Cameron can always make FORBIDDEN PLANET together. Regarding Arnie in T4, is it motion capture work or is Roland K. still the body and Arnie's head cgi? All so confusing.
-
1. CONAN THE KING (make the 3rd and last epic Conan film and do it as bloody and violent as possible)
2. TRUE LIES 2 (direct this sequel if James Cameron doesn't)
3. TERMINATOR 5 (you can play the human soldier that skynet models the T-800 after and the evil Terminator from part 1)
4. TERMINATOR 6 (you can play the human soldier that skynet models the T-800 after and the evil Terminator from part 1)
5. BATTLE ANGEL (fans want you to re-team with James Cameron on this sci-fi action film and play Ido the hunter killer cyborg)
6. FORBIDDEN PLANET (fans want you to re-team with James Cameron and Joel Silver for this classic sci-fi)
7. THE EXPENDABLES 2 (fans want you to have a lead role with pal Sylvester Stallone and make this sequel your ultimate team-up film)
8. CRUSADE (everyone wants to see you direct this film and not Paul Verhoeven anymore) -
It wasn't Arnold typing out, it was posted on youtube ! what kind of product placement is this ?
-
WAHOL
-
So many movies got fucked by this fucking teenie rating. Fuck that.Even a brilliant movie like THE DARK KNIGHT suffered from a PG-13 rating.
-
In the T3 dvd, there's this great scene that was cut out of the final film version. It shows the soldier that the t-800 is based on.

...Skynet!

Arnold's character appears, then the movie goes to credits. That would be awesome!
-
Why can't they just call it Terminator 4: Salvation??
They can advertise it at Terminator Salvation, but when the movie rolls, it says "TERMINATOR 4".
Didn't they do a similar thing with Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li? In ads they simply called it "Street Fighter", but when the actual movie started it was "The Legend of Chun Li".
Call it "TERMINATOR 4" when the actual movie starts, so that we can call it T4 officially and the numbering system isnt screwed up. Advertise it is Salvation. -
He said he was gonna lower college tuition before i got elected, instead he raised that shit! Now me cannot go college and get proper education. Me am stupid and find job in warehouse count boxes. Then job offlay me and now i get the free money. Suckas!!

Will McG at least give us a director's cut?
-
He should stay away from it, from McGal and her queen primadonna Bale, not to make it legitimate by appearing in it.
If he has to for some reason, he should make that cameo into something atrocious, even worse than the rest of the film. The return of sergeant Ca-yan-dy, for example... wait, on the other hand, 90 minutes of sergeant Candy would be better than any "film" by McGinty. -
i laugh at your predicament
-
All I'm saying man, is that Arnie's been to the set, as evidenced by the pic with he and Christian Bale, gone to some sound/motion studio to at least contribute some of his time to this project, and he'll be at the premiere....but you mean you can't read a few pages of script, go to the gym 2-3 times per week, and fit in a shooting schedule that they probably would've made convenient for him, knowing his day-job? C'mon, that's just a little hard to swallow. Obviously, SOME of his time will be spent on this, why not just use said time more wisely? It's like people that power-walk instead of just running. You put on the jumpsuit, your outside, JUST RUN, DAMMIT! Who knows, maybe the effects will be flawless. But I grew up with these movies, so you kinda groan when you hear they're CGI'ing actual actors faces onto stunt double's bodies...that's all...pardon my rant...
-
I do not think it means what you think it means.
-
you guys are still having this argument?! "T2 would be R!" "T2 would not be R!". what the fuck does it matter? Does wether T2 would be R now at all change the fact that T4 is nt rated R?...No?..well then why does it matter? This is seriously the most pointless argument ever carried out on AICN Talkback....possibly...
-
... is asking to be Winky-Winkied.
-
Personally i don't need to see Arnie in a Terminator film. He was great in T1 + 2 but he didn't make T3 a good film and i didn't miss him in TTSCC, which a actually liked very much. People seem to forget that Arnie portrayed just one particular terminator-model and that there are probably many many more. The diversity in terminator-models is one of the things that i especially in TTSCC. Dispite Salvation beeing PG13, i'm looking forward to seeing it. Can't be worse that T3.
-
theres a reason his face/name was on all the posters...he was the selling point of those movies..dont downplay him as "Oh theres tons of other T's who cares!"
-
that was a great Aussie show.
-
T2 and the Matrix films were too soft to be R. There should be a rating between PG-13 and R. It's too open a space.
-
Which is on tonight, by the way. If he can come up with ideas like the ones the Winchester brothers go through, I have high hopes for Terminator 4.

He is full of shit, but that's a politician for you...must appeal to the dumb masses.
-
but i'm not talking about the marketing of the films here, i'm talking about the story. The premise of the films is, that machines take on the forms of various humans to kill us. If there would only be one model, it would be pretty easy to spot it very soon. That is what i liked about TTSCC. There were lots of different looking terminators and the characters never knew who was metal before it tried to kill them.
Although Arnie IS the terminator and the films defined his career doesn't mean that it is or should be the other way round. -

The GOP should model themselves after Schwarzenegger.
by leafar the lost
Arnold Schwarzenegger started out like a typical Republican, but over time he realized that he had to become more moderate in order to be a good governor. He did that and got reelected. Of course, the rightwing of the GOP has attacked him, and they can all go fuck themselves.
-
Even in science fiction, where you can "imply" certain things happening, there's a gigantic difference. R-rated is blood, viscera, nudity, "fuck you, asshole," and, thus, greatly enhanced drama when used effectively. Plus, if every film in a franchise is rated "R" for the listed reasons, what gives the studio the right to arbitrarily dumb down and kiddify the next installment? Yes, money. Yes, fast food tie-ins. Yes, fucking cheapass Star Wars-ish action figures. Yes, nothing.
This film will likely make a lot of money. That's cool. I like Christian Bale and McG seems to have directed a solid film.
It's just not a bonified "Terminator" film. It'll be the bloodless kiddie version that could've been all-time asskickingly great, but will now only be sucked up by twittering, sugar-slurping thirteen-year-olds around the country.
Money was more important to the studio than quality. Therefore I'm going to skip this film. -
Everyone wants to make a cool spy film nowadays. Look at the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE films, the BOURNE films, CASINO ROYAL, QUANTUM OF SOLACE or even Angelina Jolie's next film SALT. Why not have Arnold make a couple more TRUE LIES films. Arnie and Cameron would raise the bar on cool action scenes and hand to hand combat. Heck, maybe Arnie should direct TRUE LIES 2 and Cameron should direct TRUE LIES 3. Elisha Dushku is all grown up and could be a cool little young spy. Come on Arnie, do CONAN THE KING and more TRUE LIES films!

Last Action Hero is the greatest cinematic achievement of our time.
The Seventh Seal and LAH are mean't to be viewed as one, they are the perfect companion pieces. Most people don't realize that you have to watch the films closely together to get the vibe down, they play off of eachother in so many subtle ways, and Last Action Hero is also a brilliant alternate history piece like watchmen, Stallone ends up being Terminator and future Gov of California instead of Ahnold. Brilliant! So many oniony layers! I mean lets make onion rings!
But I digress.........
LAH is awesome. If you don't like it, then your a fucking Mexican Ball Gargler. -
The tie in between the seventh seal and lah is that death moves from one universe to another, while the characters also adventure to new realities, it's sooo fucking deep dudes!

From the animated feline from the "opposite's atrract" paula abdul video as the animated cat-cop! WTF! What's not to like ball garglers?

The Terminator: Phased plasma rifle in the 40 Watt range.
by leafar the lost
The Terminator: [In a gun shop] The 12 gauge autoloader.
Shopkeeper: [Passes him the gun] That's Italian, you can go pump or auto.
The Terminator: The .45 longslide, with laser sighting.
Shopkeeper: [Passes the Terminator the gun, the Terminator "plays" with it] These are brand new, we just got them in. That's a good gun. You just touch the trigger, the beam comes on and you put the red dot where you want the bullet to go, you can't miss. Anything else?
The Terminator: Phased plasma rifle in the 40 Watt range.
Shopkeeper: Hey, just what you see, pal.
The Terminator: The Uzi 9 mm.
Shopkeeper: [Passes him the gun, the terminator "plays" with the first gun] You know your weapons, buddy. Any one of these is ideal for home defense. So, uh, which'll it be?
The Terminator: All.
Shopkeeper: [Surprised] I may close early today [Bends down to get paperwork, terminator loads gun] there's a, uh, 15 day wait on the handguns but the rifles you can take right now [He gets up, notices the gun being loaded], you can't do that.
The Terminator: Wrong. [Terminator shoots him].

I understand what you are saying. If there was ever a TERMINATOR movie that didn't need to "star" Arnold it would be this one. T5 and T6 are another matter:)

Indeed. Once upon a time regular ol' television played Schindler's List completely uncut. with profanity AND nude scenes on regular prime-time television (well, it was a 2 night showing at 9pm if I remember) but it was fucking UNCUT on regular tv! I certainly won't impugn the history or the film but the important historical context makes kids immune? Or somehow the fact that it's historical relieves the breeder population of having to talk to their kids about nasty stuff? Or did they just keep the kids out of the room?T2 would absolutely be R today and so would the first one.T4 can transcend the rating and be excellent but ask yourself this question:Of all the traditional R franchises (Die Hard, Alien, Predator, etc) that had a last movie/s at PG-13, which of them we're totally awesome and proved unequivocally that ratings don't matter?Oh yeah I fogot...fucking NONE of them.You see you guys are right...ratings don't matter...but only if you're really talented like Nolan, etc. But a regular middle of the bell curve guy like McG is not that talented. But not having a degree of balls out available to him stunts his abilities tremendously.Before you go off on another self-righteous and mastubatory rant about all the "McG haters can suck it!" understand that I'd love to be wrong. I'd be thrilled if McG proves to be the ONE exception to R rated franchises not dropping into shit town either because of, or incidental to, a new pussified rating. Just like I wanted to be wrong about WalterB and even those horrible AvP movies. Except I wasn't wrong. Neither were the so-called "haters".Personally, I think the world of cinema would have been just fine without LFoDH, AvP, and possibly even T4:Salvation.But again for the back row, I hope I'm wrong.

Thing is, weren't those franchises starting to suck anyway?
by veebeeyes
I haven't seen Die Hard 4, but from what I've heard the unrated cut wasn't too good either. And yeah, Alien vs Predator sucked, but can you honestly tell me that it sucked BECAUSE of the rating? That it wouldn't have sucked regardless of how bloody they could have chosen to make it? I mean, look at the Alien series. When Cameron did Aliens, he toned down the violence A LOT. There is VERY little blood in that movie, almost all of the human deaths occur offscreen, and the most graphic scenes of violence involve either Aliens or robots getting mutilated. I'm not saying that Aliens would be rated PG-13 today, but in relation to the previous movie just the violence was toned down tremendously. Now, would most people say that Aliens "pussied out" on the violence? I don't think most people would say that at all, because Cameron was a skilled enough filmmaker that he didn't need his movie to be excessively gory. I suspect that with T4 it will be like this...either the movie will be good or it will suck. If it's good, then the rating WON'T matter. And if it sucks, then it'll probably be because of a poor script and McG's failings as a director. In either case, this just sounds like the Alien vs Predator ratings debate all over again. Yeah, Alien vs Predator was PG-13 and yeah it sucked. But in all honesty, I don't think it sucked BECAUSE OF the rating. In all likelihood it would've still sucked no matter how much gore or cursing it had.

All this rating debate if for nerds.
