Arnie Is The Terminator (Again)

With all the rumours bouncing around about Arnie's involvement in the new Terminator: Salvation film it's good to hear that the man himself has spoken up (with his instantly recognisable Austrian accent) and confirmed those rumours.

Yes, Arnie's ugly mug will be digitally scanned in 3D and plonked on top of Austrian body builder Roland Kickinger's body in post production. Not sure whose (if anybody's) voice will be used but if the big bucks are being thrown in Arnie's direction he could at least give us a few sound bites. "Cahm aaahn!"

I laughed out loud reading Arnie's following quote, not from the content but from my inability to not hear it in his voice, "I hope they do well, and I hope it is a huge hit. I do hope it creates a spectacle on the screen. That is what James Cameron created. With those big movies, there's a certain expectation and if you don't live up to it, if the movie is not a 10, then the business will be soft. If Terminator Salvation is pushing it forward, it will be breaking records all the time. If director McG has the T4 and the kind of shots that has the audience thinking, 'Now how did he do that?' -- then it is "The Terminator" and you can blow everyone away and every record at the box office."

Translated: "With those big moofies, there's a cyertain eggspectation and if you doen't life ahp to it, if the moofie is naht a 10, then the business will be sawft."

Man, what would Hollywood do without Arnie... *sigh*

New Terminator Movie Might Actually Be Good

Putting memories of the not-so-good Terminator 3 aside I have some interesting news on the upcoming Terminator 4, or Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins to be more precise.

Movieweb is reporting on a blog update over at the production's website from visual effects superviser Charles Gibson who talks about the challenges he's facing working with McG and how this film is going to be quite energetic.

If you saw the flashback sequences in The Sarah Connor Chronicles episode Dungeons & Dragons you might get an idea of what we're in store for where the world of the future glimpsed in past Terminator movies is the setting for the entire film.

This will be the first non-Arnie Terminator film but don't forget that Christian "Batman" Bale is playing John Connor so when May 22, 2009 rolls around make sure you have the cash to see Avatar and Termi 4.
