TERMINATOR'S T-800 will be played by...
It will be an Austrian bodybuilder once again, just like the good old days when James Cameron plucked up and coming star Arnold Schwarznegger for his ambitious science fiction movie The Terminator.Roland Kickinger has been chosen to play the new T-800 in the Warner Bros. film Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins of which you now officially watch the trailer online, or with prints of The Dark Knight.
He's the news from Clinton News-Record, which could be interpreted as spoiler-ish..."There's a very strong scene in the film where John Connor for the first time meets the Terminator, and he doesn't know if he's a good guy or a bad guy," said Kickinger. "It's Arnold's character in the first Terminator. That's basically my role, but 20 years before, so it establishes how the Terminator about."His CV lists playing The Hulk in the upcoming DISASTER MOVIE (should that not have been SUPERHERO MOVIE?), a small role in LETHAL WEAPON 4 and what probably caught the attention of McG, he trained with Arnie and even played him in an A & E doc in 2005. He unquestionably looks like Arnie, and unlike an aging Rambo/Indy Jones... we don't wanna see an old Arnie playing a Robot? That just wouldn't work, and this is so much better than going the CGI route. And you know... put the jacket, the glasses on, it's going be eerily similar. Like Zachary Quinto as Spock, where do they get these guys from?
