Schwarznegger gets some SALVATION?

Has Arnie voiced Kickinger's version of the T-800?

Matt here Well it sucks to be actor Roland Kickinger if today's unconfirmed reports over at Latino Review are to be believed. Only a few months ago, the bodybuilder got his big break in the film industry by landing the role of the T-800 in Terminator Salvation, essentially playing the Arnold Schwarznegger model from the original films but I just wonder if he knew this would be there plan all along. It's a shame that they are doing this. Hasn't the Bond and the Batman franchises taught Warner Bros. that just because one actor played a role and made it a pop icon figure on screen, doesn't necessarily mean other guys wouldn't be able to do it if given the chance.

I have varous contacts in WB and from what ive been told the fans are in for a treat. The premise of Arnies involvement is to have a fully rendered digital face of Arnie replacing the recently cast Roland Kickinger (The Younger version of Arnie). It seems the Director McG will in no doubt try all he can to ensure the Governator has some sort of involvement and as a result Arnold was on set providing key ADR (Voice over) for the visual effects guys

To back up their claims and accompany the above photo comes actual video footage from when Arnie and Christian Bale met on what is supposedly the set of Terminator Salvation, possibly the day when Arnie contributed his voice work.

So it will be Kickinger doing the hard, physical work and then Arnie's face awkwardly mapped over his, sprouting out the dialogue?

I still can't fully believe this to be true, it just sounds so messy and unnecessary. Maybe McG should have taken note of J.J. Abrams, and left Arnie from the movie just like how William Shatner was left out of Star Trek.
