Public Enemies - What Did You Think?

Like many of you, I’ve never purchased or rented Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines on DVD, so this deleted scene has eluded my attention (update: some people in the comments claim that the scene was actually recorded for the T3 video game, but it was included on the T3 DVD as a deleted scene). For those of you who also missed it, this totally ridiculous sequence reveals why the Terminators look and sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger, and haphazardly explains what happened to Cyberdyne. If this scene was actually in the theatrical cut of the film, I’m sure I would have walked out. And that’s saying a lot considering the sequel was all kinds of horrible. It cracks me up that people actually tried to defend this movie over Terminator Salvation… Watch the clip after the jump.

Arnold Schwarzenegger might not be part of the Robert Rodriguez-produced Predator reboot Predators after all. Or at very least, he hasn’t yet been asked.

Warner Bros has released a new television spot for Terminator Salvation which actually promotes Arnold Schwarzenegger’s CG appearance in the film. I thought that Arnold requested that WB not promote the movie with his image, since he only appears in the film for a short scene. Watch the tv spot after the jump.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Offered Role in Predators?

Predator

As you know, Robert Rodriguez is producing a reboot of the Predator movie franchise titled Predators for 20th Century Fox.  Moviehole has learned that Rodriguez has reached out to Arnold Schwarzenegger to be part of the movie, but the Governator has yet to respond.

But how could Arnold be involved if the film is a complete reboot? Well… apparently the movie might not be a complete reboot after all.

Due to what seems to be incredibly heavy traffic, I haven’t been able to access the official website of the Governor of California (?!?) to see it for myself but Arnold Schwarzenegger has reportedly addressed the ins-and-outs of his role in McG’s Terminator Salvation in a new webcast. His “maybe” left people even more confused… but thankfully, Variety have stepped in to reveal exactly what we can expect.

Apparently, a CG version of Schwarzenegger really will be appearing in the film. They describe the process by which this alter-Arnold was created thus:

A body-cast mold of Schwarzenegger, created when he first appeared as the muscle-ripped cyborg, provided the basis for a digital-effects version of his famous character. The figure appears in Terminator Salvation as a living, breathing actor.

harvester concept art terminator salvation

After much speculation, Terry Crews told MTV that Arnold Schwarzenegger will indeed be doing a cameo in Terminator Salvation. “That’s it,” he said. “And so am I.” Who knows if Crews actually knows what he’s talking about, as the actor admits that he doesn’t know what capacity Arnold is featured as the production only distributed pages of the film’s screenplay to the relevant players. It’s very possible that Crews just heard about the initial plans to include Arnold in the film.

Also, our friends at DVD Forum have sent us this concept art (seen above) for the big robot you’ve seen in the trailers, which is called The Harvester. Click on over the the DVD forum for the high resolution version of the art.

Gimme Remakes: Total Recall Recalled Back to Theaters

Earlier today, /Film’s Brendon Connelly reported on a new Matt Damon movie based loosely on a short story by one of the most important and precocious authors of all time, Philip K. Dick, and now, well, THIS. Columbia Pictures and producer Neal H. Moritz (I Am Legend, The Green Hornet, The Skulls III) have tossed Paul Verhoeven’s Total Recall on the remake block under the pretense that today’s leaps in special effects will make it worthwhile. What, no 3D bait? No news on a director or writer. The original 1990 film starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone and is regarded as an above-par and faithfully bonkers adaptation of the late sci-fi writer’s short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale.” We can still remember it pretty well via Netflix or Wikipedia, thanks anyway.

WOW. Just when you thought Slyvester Stallone couldn’t pack more action heroes in his upcoming action film The Expendables, AICN breaks the news that Arnold Schwarzenegger has joined the cast. But before you get too excited, we must warn you that it’s only a cameo. Arnold is only filming one day, and he will be playing himself - California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. So don’t expect to see Arnold getting his hands dirty. Also, Eric Roberts has apparently replaced Ben Kingsley as CIA agent Monroe.

The cast now includes Mickey Rourke, Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren, Forest Whitaker, Eric Roberts and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The film tells the story about an “expendable” team, hired to do jobs that no one else can or will. The team is sent to infiltrate a South American country to overthrow the ruthless dictator and liberate the country.

McG Reveals Terminator: Salvation Secrets

Will Arnold Schwarzenegger appear in Terminator: Salvation? When the California Governor was spotted on the set of the sci-fi sequels, rumors began to circulate that Arnold would be providing a capture of his face to implant on a younger actor’s body.  Total Film was able to ask McG at a recent UK press event, and here is what the director said:

“We’re trying to synthesise a human character with a CGI character and that may or may not have something to do with the T800,” McG said with a smile. “At the moment it’s not good enough. And we’re running out of time.”

A little cryptic, but it seems like it might fit the previous theory/rumor. And speaking of rumors, McG claims that the rumored ending to the film where John Connor is replaced with a cyborg is completely false.

“That is not the ending. John Connor is not the machine. We did discuss that idea, but that is not the ending, I can say that right now.”

Christian Bale does speak the famous catch phrase “I’ll Be Back”, but in some sort of context that is 180 degrees reversed from the original film.  McG also confirmed that Bale is signed up for two sequels, which McG claims are already “arced out.”
Also today, Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment, Equity Games Production and Halcyon Games have announced Terminator Salvation – The Videogame. You can read the press release after the jump.
