14 DAY TRIAL // Fans and critics hated the fourth “Terminator” film, “Salvation,” and so did Arnold Schwarzenegger, as he makes it very clear in a recent interview with Collider, in which he brands it “awful.”
Released in 2009 and facing the incredible task of pleasing both diehard fans and newcomers to the franchise, “Salvation” was considered a commercial and critical flop precisely because of this ambition.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the leading man in all previous 3 films who, for this one, was reduced to a mere (and not very successful) CG rendition, is with critics on this one: “Salvation” was just “awful.”
It's not for lack of trying, though, that it came out like this, he underlines.
“It tried hard, not that they didn’t try, the acting and everything. It missed the boat,” the former Governor of California says.
As a side note, Schwarzenegger isn't against the idea of making a sequel to an older movie that was successful, since he says in the same interview that he's very much for shooting one for various of his iconic films.
Speaking of rumors that a follow-up to “Twins,” also starring Danny De Vito, is in the pipeline, the 63-year-old star says he'd do it if a script landed on his table.
He'd call it “Triplets” and make it even more ridiculous than the 1988 comedy.
“I’d find somebody like Eddie Murphy or someone that people would say, 'How does that happen, medically speaking?' and, 'Physically, there’s no way',” Arnold explains.
Another sequel that Schwarzenegger is hard at work on is that to “The Expendables,” the Sylverster Stallone written and directed, star-studded action film in which Arnie too had a small cameo.
Word online has it the sequel will show more of Schwarzenegger's character but, this time, the script is not entirely Sly's work – and neither is he returning to the director's chair.
“The Expendables 2” will be out in theaters in August this year.
