More Arnold Schwarzenegger Remakes on the Way

DateSaturday, June 6, 2009 at 2:12AM
It's somewhat appropriate that in the fallout from the first Terminator movie that doesn't star Arnold Schwarzenegger, that film is being harpooned by critics and fans of the series while Schwarzenegger, safely tucked away in Sacramento plundering California state budgets and jobs, is a hot property again.

We know that Predators is coming, although that's not an Arnold film. Or is it? Filmstalker reports that Robert Rodriguez - producing, not directing - has reached out to the Governator and offered him a role in the reboot/remake. Obviously, Arnold couldn't do it while he's governor, but his term is up at the beginning of 2011. Rumor has it Arnold may run for Senate in 2010, though, so this might not happen at all.

Elsewhere, Predator is being joined by two other Arnold movies from the 80s on the assembly line. It had been previously reported that Total Recall would be recalled, and now it appears to be moving forward. In the past couple of days, Commando, The Austrian Oak's 1985 action flick, will also see a Hollywood rebirth. No other details were immediately available, but at the rate Tinsletown is throwing old movies back in the grinder, it certainly wouldn't be surprising.

And finally, from the If You Can't Beat 'Em, Join 'Em department, Terminator Salvation has decided to throw Arnold into its commercials. If you haven't seen the film - and there are more of you out there than Warner Bros. would like to admit - a naked CG Schwarzenegger shows up at one point. It's certainly not great CG, so much so that if I didn't know I was supposed to be looking at Arnold, I might not instantly know who it is.

But Terminator is performing so poorly now (Up will outgross it in seven days...after spotting Terminator a week) that the studio has to resort to any trick it has. In case you've missed it, whether it's the movie or the commercial, you can see a version of Arnold that's just as bad as the one in the original film that performed self-surgery:

Plundering is a bit harsh wouldn't you say? California is a bit one sided and probably needs some balance. Seems like everything is ass backwards there anyhow so maybe he's doing some good. I mean why send most of your paycheck and have somebody decide what they should do with your pay check because they think you are an idiot or that its better in the hands of " decision makers".
