Arnold Schwarzenegger Will Be Back As the Terminator
sfcrazy writes "Arnold Schwarzenegger returned to movies after his role as Governator of California and the legendary actor is all set to play the role of The Terminator once again — the character which turned him into an icon. Schwarzenegger told the fan site TheArnoldFans.com, 'I'm very happy that the studios want me to be in Terminator 5 and to star as the Terminator.'"

...too old for this shit?
All kidding aside, he's pretty aged, I can't really see him faithfully doing the Terminator as he was back in the 80's and 90's. I mean yeah, make-up and CG and all, but even then.
We've already had four terminator movies with the last decent one being the 2nd movie. The third was just an excuse to get a female terminator with big boobs killing people, the 4th movie was horrendous, and for crying out loud the tv show Sarah Connor chronicles was better then the movies in some aspects. I mean whats the story going to be this time, they make new T-800's that look like senior citizens to invade the care home where John Connor is in and kill him with false terminator teeth?

Terminator 5: Prescription
My film-loving internal child still laments his passing on the "Crown of Iron" Conan script. Would have been directed by Millius, the genius behind the original film. Still one of my favorite movies of all time.

The Passion of The Terminator
John Connor discovers that the T-800 series was not originally developed as a war machine at all. In fact, early developments in cybernetics were intended to help an increasingly elderly population cope with geriatric diseases. (In fact, the T in T-800 refers to a testosterone pump implanted directly into the body, the first major modification to be attempted.) One such man, an actor with influential connections in government, was able to steadily have body parts replaced as he aged, attempting to prevent the inevitable degradation of his once Mr. Universe quality body. Later iterations of the T-800 would be based upon this man, who developed the models in an attempt to develop eternally vigilant guards to prevent incursions on his lawn by neighborhood children.
There were more than 2 Terminator movies? Since when?
What's he gonna save? Social Security?
No, he's a Republican.
Summer Glau
I think they did this with Crispin Glover's character in Back To The Future 2, and he sued the studio for using his likeness. I can't find the article right this moment but IIRC Crispin Glover won the suit and now studios can't use an actors likeness without their permission.
Don't write so fast, sonny! We can't read that fast!

They didn't. The last one was episode VI.

So that makes him the Exterminator.
I eat only the real part of complex carbohydrates.
If I were him I'd sign with Fox to do McBain movies. A parody of himself played by himself. I think it could be hilarious, especially given his age. Sort of the "I-won't-ever-retire" cop that's only a shadow of his former glory.

Act 1:
In Eastern Europe, a handful of partisans still fight SkyNet and an army of robots. It's a desperate fight and the landscape is filled with the wreckage of a former age. One group is led by Ahnuld. He's crafty and careful having lived through the worst of times. His crew look up to him as a father and would follow him into hell.
Called before the supreme council, it's Eastern Europe remember, one member of his crew is denounced. It's all a ruse to get him and his group to sign up for a high-risk, end the war in Europe mission. He agrees but not before telling everyone of them 'I'll be back'.
Act 2:
Getting there is the hardest part. Sneaking through wrecked cities and desolate wastelands, half empty aquifers and collapsed rail tunnels, fighting and dying heroically to preserve the mission and each other, the rag tag group makes its way to... CERN. The idyllic countryside has been devastated. In its place are ruined behemoths and the rusted hulks of war machines. But SkyNet lives here, at least the part aware of the European theatre and they are there to destroy it.
Act 3:
Is where it really gets good. Also, there's a twist ending. Really, this movie could win awards. That's how good the ending is. Even your Mom is going to like it. I'd tell you, but it would ruin it for you. I'm doing you a favor.
"Illegitimate child"... What is this? The Middle Ages?
