Who is your daddy and what does he do?” Well, for those of you daddies out there, we hope you were enjoying The Last Stand with your families on Father’s Day. Arnold’s sheriff adventure was #1 on blu-ray for the first two weeks of its release and we’re sure it did huge again for the third week since there was no better father’s day gift.

Did you see any other movies this weekend? "The Man if Steel" and "This is the End" are both in theaters now but the Seth Rogan / James Franco comedy is by far the better film.  And it’s not just because they have a funny Terminator Judgment Day conversation. While leaving the theater, be sure to stop and pose with the Escape Plan movie poster and email it to us or put it on our Facebook page.


The biggest news over the last several days was the exclusive news that we got from Arnold himself about him starring in Expendables 3 (shooting in August) and starring as a Terminator (shooting in January). Since our report, many fans have expressed their concern with Arnold’s age to play the Terminator character that we knew from T1 and T2. While I’d personally like to see Arnold play a bad terminator with CG help to de-age him to look as he did in T2, our friends at TheTerminatorFans.com wrote that they’d like to keep Arnold as a 66-year old Terminator. Although Arnold looks like a bad-ass sheriff, DEA agent and Expendable, I’m not sure a 66-year old Terminator would look as threatening as he once did. This is why I suggest the CG help. But if you agree that Arnold should look as he does now in Terminator leather, than read their article HERE!

I do hope Arnold also makes his way into Terminator 5 playing a human character in addition to a Terminator. Who knows, maybe we’ll see Arnold in four different models as a T1 Terminator, T2 one, a T-850 and an older age model. One thing is for sure, it will have us guessing for many, many more months before we really know what to expect.  There is no fate and there are no script details but the guesses we make.


Finally, TheArnoldFans will be at Arnie's Life, Schwarzenegger's childhood home turned into a museum on July 30th. There will be a big fan celebration with new merchandise and Arnold-related activities to celebrate our hero's birthday so be sure to come by and say hello to us. We'll have full details in a few more days! You'll be back!
