Terminator 4 Without Arnold?

Very true, Terminator 1 like you said solidified it and Terminator 2 made sure he didn't lose it. Terminator 3 let him temporarily leave the business respectively.

Conan didn't really make Arnold, he was perfectly cast, but seen as good for very little other roles, until Cameron took him on as the Terminator.

That's generally how action stars are. That's why they CALL them that as well. "Conan" indeed was his launch pad, especially coupled with his Mr. Olympia affiliations at the time. Everything was working for him.

I completely agree.

On a different note, Cinema why exactly did you remove so many threads and with them nearly 2300 posts from the Terminator forum?

A very short time ago it was 7600+ posts, but now the numbers are somewhere around 5300+ posts.

You agreed with me, now you agree with him? What gives? "Conan the Barbarian" did indeed make him a household name, and he even scored a cameo in "Red Sonja" because of his characters popularity. "The Terminator" may have been what made him an action movie staple, but it wasn't what made his career.

As for the merging, it will all be explained in a short time with an official announcement.

Bottom line is that both Conan and Terminator made his career, without either one of them he might not be where he is today.

There ya go.

Good, that is cleared up now.

Conan and T1 solidified him as an action star, but T2 is what made him a super-star. Who knows, without T2 he could have ended up with the ranks of Jean Claude, Steven Segal, or Chuck Norris.

Yeah I agree, after Kindergarten Cop his career was in somewhat danger. Then James came along and offered him T2 and that made sure he kept making action films for as long as he wanted to.

Lets face it, the guy is no actor. He only shines in roles which require him to do minimal 'acting'.

The fact is that most "action stars" are exactly the same way.

Even if Arnold only has a small role in T4, I think that in the advertising and marketing of T4 they will try and make it seem as if he has a large role in the film.

For sure, he is the star attraction after all.

Yeah and for the people who don't look up at least a little bit of info on the film, they will probably fall for the advertising, marketing, and posters and think that he does indeed have a large role in the film.

And hence queue up for the release.

Why isnt Arnold or Nick Stahl going to be playing in Terminator 4? 😠
Why dont they wait untill Arnold can play in it? 😕 🙁 😠

🙁

this needs to be in the terminator forum.
