Schwarzenegger has been pursuing a
political career for the last
year | |
The producers of the next Terminator film want
star Arnold Schwarzenegger to take a part in it - even though he is now
governor of California.
Talks are under way for Terminator 3 director Jonathan Mostow to return
for a further sequel in the
series which made Schwarzenegger a household
name.
"We're certainly talking to Arnold and his people," a spokesman for the
film's financers said.
A Schwarzenegger advisor ruled
out anything but a cameo
role.
Dennis Higgins, the spokesman for the film's financers, said Mostow was
overseeing the draft of a script by writers John Brancato and Michael
Ferris, who wrote Terminator 3's screenplay.
The Terminator series is one of the most successful film franchises
ever.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day grossed $500 million, while Terminator 3
took $427 million around the world.
But Schwarzenegger said he would put his film career on hold when he was elected governor
of California in November.
Paul Wachter, Schwarzenegger's personal financial advisor, refused to
rule out a cameo, but dismissed anything more than that.
He said: "Is it realistic that while he is in office, he takes a
starring role? Hardly." (Agencies) |
《終結者4》的制片人希望影星阿諾德·施瓦辛格能夠在影片中出演一個角色,盡管他現在已經是加里福尼亞州州長。
關于邀請《終結者3》的導演喬納森·莫斯托再度出馬執導《終結者》續集一事尚在洽談中,正是這部系列影片使施瓦辛格的名字家喻戶曉。
影片投資方的一位發言人說:“我們確實正在和阿諾以及他的代表人商談此事。”
除了飾演不重要的小配角之外,施瓦辛格的顧問排除了他出演任何其他角色的可能。
影片投資方的發言人丹尼斯·哈金斯表示:“莫斯托正在審閱作家約翰·布蘭卡托和邁克爾·費里斯創作的劇本草稿,他們也是《終結者3》的編劇。”
《終結者》是有史以來最成功的系列電影之一。
《終結者2之審判日》的票房總收入達到5億美元,而《終結者3》的全球票房也達到4.27億美元。
但是施瓦辛格曾經表示,從去年11月當選為加州州長起,他將暫緩自己的電影事業。
施瓦辛格的私人理財顧問保羅·瓦赫特并沒有排除阿諾出演小配角的可能性,但他排除了任何更多可能性。
他說:“設想他一邊在辦公室工作,一邊還要擔任影片主角,這現實嗎?這幾乎不可能。”
