Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton in Negotiations for Terminator Salvation

Source:  WonderCon
While conducting a panel for his upcoming sequel Terminator Salvation, director McG revealed that he is currently in talks to have both Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger appear in the film in some capacity. Here's what he said to the crowd:
It seems appropriate to have (Linda Hamilton) in the picture in some capacity. We're talking about it right this minute. Literally. At this minute. I am in constant communication with the California Governor. We showed him the film days ago, and await a meeting with him later this week. Truthfully, in regards to Schwarzenegger's participation, it's not clear. We'll see where we land on that. He's a very powerful guy. He has to do what's right for him. It might be helpful for all of us to email him, telling him it's a good idea.

Terminator Salvation opens Memorial Day Weekend, May 22nd, 2008.

The T1s will also be great to see returning.

From what I have gathered, this film will have the following Infiltration Terminator series':
-T1 (base model for all infiltrator units)
-T600
-T700
-Marcus' model (undefined, but likely to be the first/early prototype of the T800)
-T800 (ahead of schedule)

Can't wait to see them all unveiled.

Didn't MovieWebbers already know this? It seems like they're just trying to say, that, yes - Linda is on board, and Arnold, well, whatever he decides to do. But we already know that he went in and got the computer scans of his face done for the CGI work. What they are talking about being still in negotiations with Linda Hamilton may just be the salary negotiations for her cameo. I don't think she would be in "talks" this long if she wasn't going to agree to do it. However, this is good news. Linda said "no" to T3 because she was only going to be a side character, and her arc was written to where she was getting killed off. The fact that she is saying "yes" to T4 is a real good sign, as well as seeing Arnie's face on the future CRS-Model T-800 makes this film seem so much more "official" for the series. How nostalgic. It really is the best way to pass the torch for the new trilogy. Can't wait to see the T-600s, too!

ehh. I'd be cool though, that in the movie, John captures the T-500 to make him go back in time and save himself in Terminator 2.

They should definitely have Linda Hamilton to do the voice-over, at least... And having Arnie in any capacity wouldn't hurt neither. lol...

i think it is completely nessecary to bring them back. Linda Hamilton and Arny are the best things about the franchise...so is Robert Patrick and Michael Bien

This is all old news. Arnold is gonna be the face of the Terminator late in the movie and Linda will have a voice-over. The only news here is that (possibly) Linda may show her face during a flashback most likely. Fine by me, I'm just ready to catch the movie!

McG has already stated that this movie will not explore the issue of time travel. In the original Terminator, Kyle told the officers at the police precinct that the time machine was built when Skynet was the brink of losing the war. Killing John during the present wouldn't have mattered so the only recourse would be to eliminat the very existence of John Connor. Expect this movie to establish John as the leader of the resistence, the next two can than explore time travel.

I hope it's not a death scene for Linda...bummer. But I would still love to see her and Arnie in the movie to help "pass the torch" so to speak to the new blood.

That would be awesome for both to have SOME involvement, even if Arnold is just the voice of some AI computer program.

I'm really looking forward to this, I'll see it with or without them. I think they'll both wind up doing it.

I'm all for Arnie steppin' in the time machine, but one question... it's been a long while since I've watched part 1, didn't they send Reese back threw that one or did they steal the plans to make the machine for themselves? And then Reese's brother in the series. So are we looking at possible new story lines that would negate 1-3? My apologies for all the questions, but I haven't read anything on the storyline for this one, except for the war going on, someone is sent through time to this storyline, and then the plans to head into skynet and blow the machine up. Thx

I myself think that a great way for Arnold to show up im the film is at the end. When John Connor is blowing up the time machine and we see Arnold just stepping into it seconds before detination. I think it would be cool kinda leading all the way back to the beggining. As for Linda I'd like to see a flashback John's has when they say they were in a tropical islong mentioned in T3. that would be cool.

Shaping up and looking hardcore... can't wait! I'm all for Linda Hamilton being in it and would love it if that happens, but has she gone manic? I could've swore that I just read an article a couple of weeks ago where she said she wouldn't be into it unless James Cameron was the one heading the project. Then went on to where she says something about she turned it down the minute Cameron wasn't attached. Could be wrong, but I'd still love to see her in this. I don't give a sh!t if she is twisted/mental.

Awesome! Linda as a voice over/flashback, and Arny at the end, like a little treat for fans. Hopefully! Because I think its too late in production for him to have anything better.

I think it is in post. I think they're just finally letting this news out of the bag. If you guys remember right, MovieWeb posted that ibterview with the director back during last year's Comic-con where essentially McG gave away the fact that Arnold was in it:

At least they're trying to get him back for the sequel. If he DOES come back for the sequel, then I can let up on that a bit for this current one, on the premise that that particular model hasn't been invented yet. Even though I STILL don't like it. lmfao. I'm going to give the new one a fair chance, though.

Wow, this comes out in like 2 months. I'm surprised it hasn't wrapped yet and gone into post.

I agree with CB. And I'm stoked!
