In other TERMINATOR: SALVATION news, McG basically said that Arnold Schwarzenneger will be in T4, but not the Govenator we know today. To put it in a nutshell, McG basically said he’ll be using CGI to put old school Arnold in the film. Here’s the full quote from The Playlist:
“The T800s as we know them look like Arnold [Schwarzenneger]. The T800 plays a big role in this movie.. I can’t quite tell you how we express that, but I will tell you the following: I think when you make a Terminator movie the responsibility of our team…is to push special effects forward. So what we’re trying to do is create visual effects and write code that’s never been written before to address this very question. It is not clear if we will be successful or not, so we’re working very diligently on going up to ILM in Sn Francisco because soon to address this very nature because… let me just hint at this: I don’t want today’s Arnold Schawzenneger. Cheers [to him], but I just want idealized Griffith park, Bill Paxton, tire-track on a face on-the-face archetype, and we’ll see what we can do about that.”
So… is this good or bad? The thought of today’s Schwarzenneger having a cameo was A-OK by me, but when you really think about it… could McG’s way be better? We’ve got plenty of time to ponder seeing how TERMINATOR: SALVATION hits theaters everywhere May 21.
