Ryan Gillen from TheArnoldFans.com asked the Govenator at the recent Arnold Classic weekend. He wrote that Arnold Schwarzenegger hasn’t actually ruled out a brief cameo in the new film, and may possibly have a brief cameo.
As you know he is currently the governer of "Kellyfornia" as he calls it.
Arnold was initially reluctant to be involved in the film, but he still has the final say when the effects are done. But most likely, Arnold will be in the film for a cameo. There'll probably be a short image of a CGI Arnold. But either way, it'll be a surprise, since the film has not released any news involving Arnold.
This is Arnold’s response to Gillen’s question about his involvement in Terminator Salvation.
“I have seen the movie, but I have not seen it as a finished product yet. I have not seen it yet with the Terminator special effects and some of the sound and the music is not in there yet and so on. So I really cannot comment on it, what the movie will be like as a finished product. There's a rule that you never talk about a movie unless you have seen the finished product. But you know as I said to the director when they began that I wish them the best of luck, that I'm happy that they move forward with the franchise, I am very happy with where I am with my profession as the governor and they should try to find a way of doing a story that does not include me at all, not even one single shot in it. I don't believe in that. To kind of have them go out and promote the movie and say you know Arnold is in the movie and everyone thinks that I'm the Terminator and in fact you only see one second of me in there and so I don't think thats the right thing to do. And you know that's the danger of that, and that's why I feel reluctant to be part of the movie in the first place. So it doesn't get promoted that way.”
Well the fact that Schwarzenegger is open to a cameo is interesting. The fact that he said “and in fact you only see one second of me in there” shows that he may in fact have a cameo. That or we’re all just grasping at straws. I for one hope it ends up being true.
If he was in the movie perhaps he would look something like this.
