AH-NOLD to reprise another iconic role



     Recently we learned that Arnold Schwarzenegger would be reprising the role that launched his career, that of Conan the Barbarian.  According to "AMC," Arnie will soon return to one of his other iconic roles--The Terminator.
     Producer Megan Ellison head of Annapurna Pictures just acquired the rights to the Terminator franchise, and along with her brother David have convinced the former governator to fight Skynet once again.  The two hope to produce two more Terminator films before the rights revert to James Cameron in 2019.
     I'm not too crazy about another Terminator film, let alone two.  Arnold is sixty-five after all and Terminator: Salvation was just awful.  (FU McG.)  There's probably a lot of oil needed for that metal endoskeleton too.  However to be fair David Ellison's Skydance Productions is behind the upcoming Jack Reacher and Star Trek Into Darkness.  His sister Megan has an impressive list herself with Silver Linings Playbook, The Master, and Zero Dark Thirty so maybe this could turn out well.
     The Austrian can next be seen in The Last Stand out January 18th.
