Arnold Schwarzenegger Still Questionable For ‘Terminator Salvation’

T-800

Word spread like wildfire recently when actor Terry Crews (The Longest Yard, Idiocracy) apparently confirmed that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger would be making some kind of appearance in Terminator Salvation (Read Here). But while everyone is antsy to find out what the deal is, the story never seemed to sound legit, and these reservations are now confirmed by the movie’s director: McG.

McG spoke with MTV about the situation and cut it off at the neck — basically just saying that at this moment, “The jury is still out.” The director did go ahead and reaffirm the importance of Schwarzenegger’s T-800 in the movie and that it will be heavily featured with or without the iconic action star-turned-politician’s involvement. If this is the case, it’s expected that the eerily-similar looking body-double Roland Kickinger will hold the brunt of the T-800.

McG went on to give an interesting explanation of the development of the T-800 in the movie. This may even more-so support the exclusion of Arnold and legitimize the use of Kickinger’s slightly different look. Keep in mind, this movie is set to be released in just a little over a month on May 21, 2009.

This film is largely about Skynet collecting human tissue in the interest of creating lifelike tissue for the T-800, which is the Schwarzenegger character. And if you think about it, we had to go through a lot of lab rats to get to the polio vaccine. Skynet has to go through a lot of human beings to get to that realistic T-800. Kyle Reese always talks about the T-600 being easy to recognize “” a rubber skin, prosthetic look. We’ve got two T-600s in the film, but it’s [about] the coming of the T-800, which represents lifelike human flesh being grown in order to get to that level of proficiency.
