    Report says that, although bodybuilder Roland Kickinger will be playing the T-800 model in the new film, Schwarzenegger's face may be digitally mapped onto him for the final product (with Ahnuld also supplying dialog via ADR).

    That would be very cool, I think.

    I thought "The Governator" was through with acting. If I remember right, he swore that once he was elected governor, he would devote his entire life to "Da peeople of Caaalifroonia"

    Yes, but he also said "I'll be back".

    I don't know, isn't that a slap in the face to the guy who actually drug his ass out to the set. I say give it to the guy who bothered to show up.

    I can see it both ways. Look at the hash Trek made of it with Data and letting him get old. You've got to do something and hopefully, the story will get wrapped up.

    Arnold doing a voice over of another actor?

    Oh the irony! :lol:

    So David Prowse should be the voice of Darth Vader?

    ^I don't know. If you're behind a mask and you know ahead of time that they're going to dub, that's one thing. But if you're an actor and after you've wrapped they stick somebody else's head on your body in post production - it's a slap in the face.

    They would almost certainly have discussed it earlier.
    I wouldn't be surprised if even if this is true we still see him in the movie, I can imagine scenes with multiple terminators where it is a mixture of Arnie and this guy, to establish there are slight variations in the model line.

    Have you ever heard the original audio with Prowse doing the voice? It's so much like 'Dark Helmet' that it's disturbing...

    I think Schwarzenegger is actually Kickinger's mentor of sorts, so it may be more congenial than one might assume.
