Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California and sometime Action God, has finally broken his silence about his rumoured involvement in McG's "Terminator Salvation". Speaking to TheArnoldFans.com (yes, they really exist) at the '2009 Arnold Classic' (I'm assuming this is some kind of golfing tournament and not a convention for prominent Arnolds to discuss their classic-ness). Arnie delivered this little roundhouse to all those expecting the return of the Original Terminator;
"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 that's 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"
But that's not all. The Governator was in loquacious mood and finished his impromptu press conference with this little ditty about his forthcoming 'work' in Sly Stallone's "The Expendables";
"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. 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".
