In what will probably turn out to be another in a series of rumors about Terminator: Salvation, there's a possibility that Arnold Schwarzenegger might just actually appear in the film after all. Latino Review posted a picture of the Governator visiting the Salvation set and meeting with Christian Bale. Accompanying the picture they were sent was a not-that-well-written letter from a source indicating that Schwarzenegger was on the set to provide voiceover for the visual effects team to reference during post-production. And what good is a voice without the body of the original Terminator? The source also promises that the fully rendered digital face of Schwarzenegger will be replacing that of recently cast Roland Kickinger, who plays the part of the young Arnold. The same effect was done in the Star Wars prequels to put the face of Christopher Lee on his Jedi-fighting stunt double.
If it's true, it's kind of awesome. To be honest, I didn't even know that Christopher Lee didn't do his own fighting in the Star Wars prequels. I just thought he was a particularly limber and robust old dude who didn't mind getting hooked up to a harness to do all those flips. Which means I am either Borat-level gullible to the masters of visual effects, or those effects are really effing good. Personally, I'm going with the latter, as I don't like to think of myself as gullible, and I'm also usually pretty good at picking out what's real and what's an effect. The only real problem I see with this rumor proving true is that I know about it. That kind of cameo is usually the most fun when you're not expecting it. That said, I've long thought that a Terminator isn't a Terminator without Schwarzenegger, so hooray for legitimacy through visual effects!
