Arnold Schwarzenegger set to star in a new Terminator.


(Arnold seems different somehow, but I can't put my finger on it.)

cinema blend- The years as California Governor may have moved Arnold Schwarzenegger closer to the middle, but thankfully, they have not squashed his will to destroy all in his path, especially now that Skynet is active. The action star will return to ruin lives as his most beloved character, The Terminator, in at least one but likely two films in the near future.
The move comes almost a year after Pacificor purchased the rights to the franchise for what seemed like an astounding figure of nearly thirty million. With Arnold back in play, that gamble no longer seems like such a foolhardy investment, and the company will make its pitch to Lionsgate, Universal and Sony later this afternoon.
Deadline is speculating the Terminator package will sell for upwards of twenty-five to thirty million at minimum, but the ultimate price tag shouldn’t really affect the finished product. Anyone willing to shell out that kind of money will follow it up with at minimum a hundred and fifty million dollar investment to do this thing right. You don’t coax Arnold Schwarzenegger back into the game and then pinch pennies and go cheap. People will expect Terminator 5: He’s Back or whatever the hell it’s going to be called to be a balls to the wall orgasm of death, explosions and eye mutilation.

I'm not really sure how I feel about another Terminator starring Arnold. It will probably be pretty cool, but I'm starting to have a problem with Arnold as the Terminator. He's supposed to be a cyborg, right? And he was manufactured in a factory, right? So tell me this, why is it that he looks drastically different from movie to movie? It's like the guys in the future who make the Terminator are constantly changing and streamlining the body, but they are obsessed with always using the same face on that particular model. And for some reason they keep programing him to speak with an Austrian accent. It's like some kind of inside joke at the Terminator factory. And even though they have newer versions of Terminators like the T-1000 and the T-X, they keep using the T-800 (Arnold's version.) It's really getting bizarre. Maybe for this installment of the movie, they should say that Arnold is a T-800G series. A Terminator made to look like a T-800's grandfather.
