Schwarzenegger Falls Back on his Evil Robot Career

As advertised, the most famous killbot to ever wear sunglasses may be coming back to repeat his line about being back. Arnold Schwarzenegger is attached to the next installment of the Terminator franchise films, according to www.deadline.com. Now he can go back to letting someone else worry about the budget whenever something explodes.

Over the first three Terminator movies, Schwarzenegger played three different mech-carnations of the series 800 model, which raises the question – does Schwarzenegger hold the record for playing the most versions of the same object in feature films? Remember, plain old repeat performances don’t count. Arnold’s Terminator is destroyed in every film, especially that tear-jerking, self-sacrificial dip that even supreme sufferer Frodo couldn’t pull off. Plain old C-3PO was technically the same annoying shell of a droid in all six stints of murder-free human-cyborg relations.

While we get the research team excited, we should also ask Skynet why it bothers to age its homicidal juggernauts. I may not be as smart as a Joshua 2.11, but if I invested my defense department budget in a phalanx of Summer Glau models, I’d like to keep all that never-removed-from-box resale value. You never know when you’ll have to upgrade to the newest hunter-killer technology.
