Arnold Schwarzenegger Has Some Casting Ideas For 'Terminator 4''s Self-Effacing Cyborg Killing-Machine
British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger addressed a group of journalists yesterday in Long Beach to tout their anti-global warming initiative, the Funny-Accented Coalition for the Environment. When Blair, who will not be seeking re-election, was asked by a reporter about his future career aspirations, Schwarzenegger quickly stepped in to do what he does best: Obliquely reference one of his own movies.
If he needs a job and wants a job in Hollywood, I'll get him to play 'Terminator 4'. Anything's available," he said, laughing.
"Now that is definitely the best offer I've had. Actually, the sad thing is, it's the only offer I've had," joked Blair, who is on a five-day visit to the United States.
The Governor wasn't kidding: A fourth Terminator installment has gotten a greenlight, and although its plot is under tight wraps, the role set aside for Blair—as a T8000 legislative cyborg who grows to be reviled by his own robot community after choosing to have them participate in a highly unpopular machine-uprising on the other side of the universe—should offer him plenty of life experience from which to draw.
