Arnold Schwarzenegger Talks The Expendables and Terminator Salvation

In a recent story from The Arnold Fans the site caught up with California Governer Arnold Schwarzenegger at the "2009 Arnold Classic." Here is what Arnold had to say about Terminator Salvation and The Expendables.

On Terminator Salvation:

I have seen the movie, but I have not seen it as a finished product yet. I have not seen it yet with the Terminator special effects and some of the sound and the music is not in there yet and so on. So I really cannot comment on it, what the movie will be like as a finished product. There's a rule that you never talk about a movie unless you have seen the finished product. But you know as I said to the director when they began that I wish them the best of luck, that I'm happy that they move forward with the franchise, I am very happy with where I am with my profession as the governor and they should try to find a way of doing a story that does not include me at all, not even one single shot in it. I don't believe in that. To kind of have them go out and promote the movie and say you know Arnold is in the movie and everyone thinks that I'm the Terminator and in fact you only see one second of me in there and so I don't think thats the right thing to do. And you know that's the danger of that, and that's why I feel reluctant to be part of the movie in the first place. So it doesn't get promoted that way.


Regarding The Expendables:

But to talk about Sly's movie you know Sly and I we became very good friends over the last 10, 15 years, especially since the Planet Hollywood days. And we've traveled all around the world. and we've had a terrific time and so he was very helpful to me when I ran for governor. Or with any of the initiatives that were on ballot, he came to fundraising in different places and he was always there to pump up the people and all that. So I... naturally when he asked me if I would do a cameo, which will just be something quick, like I walk out of a hotel or out of a office building and he will walk up and we will bump into each other and there will be some mumbling and then we will walk off (crowd laughs). So it will be something very simple, that will be again, just a cameo, so that's what we're going to do. I promised him I'd do that and I'm looking forward to that. Ok? Good.

    What's with those last 2 words he said? "Ok? Good." lolz

    Too bad Stallone didn't film this in 2011 for a 2012 release, cuz then Arnold could've had a bigger role.

    agreed Remy72883, ironically, we now have a better chance of meeting the man as a politician than when he was an actor! (now to solve the problem of being on the other side of the world! dang)
