Schwarzenegger in for Terminator Salvation?

Will Arnold Schwarzenegger "be back"? It’s actually looking like that might happen. That would be cool, because he’s been such a big part of the "Terminator" franchise.

In Tuesday’s webcast Q&A with political blogger Bill Bradley, the California governator said he met with "Terminator Salvation" director McG and agreed to be in the upcoming movie — as long as he didn’t have to actually be there.

"I made it very clear that I don’t have the time to do the movie," he said. "I said that I would be willing to be in the movie if they get the technology together, and so they are working on that right now."

How it would work: Warner Bros. would digitally manipulate images of Schwarzenegger from the original "Terminator" movie for the new film, scheduled for a May 21, 2009 release. It would be for a scene in which Christian Bale’s character, John Connor, catches a glimpse of Schwarzenegger as a "future Terminator.”

“They would basically take technology out of "Terminator 1," and use that walk of mine and somehow bring it in,” says Schwarzenegger. “It’s just a brief scene.”

Sounds good to me, and it would bring the "Terminator" franchise full circle to have Schwarzenegger in the new movie.
