Exclusive: Schwarzenegger on Expendables 3 & Sabotage!

On Wednesday, March 19th, the stars of SABOTAGE all stepped up to our mic one-by-one while TheArnoldFans covered the red carpet premiere at the  Regal Cinemas LA Live. Soon we'll bring you our action-packed exclusive interviews with director David Ayer and film stars Joe Manganiello, Olivia Williams and many other ass-kickers. But before we get to those, we know you demand the Arnold interview first...so let's get to it!

During our time on the red carpet and after-party with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Avi Lerner, EX3 producer, we got to finally hear how many hours Schwarzenegger invested into the third Expendables film. It was 4 hours on the first film when he was Governor and 4 days for the second film. So how many days was Schwarzenegger on-set filming Expendables 3?

“Five to seven days; about a week,” Avi tells TheArnoldFans.com.

Schwarzenegger also spoke Expendables 3 with TheArnoldFans.

“We filmed for a while down there in Bulgaria and it was really terrific. It’s always great to work with those great actors. You go on a set with great actors and it raises your performance level. It’s like guys working out in the gym; well, you don’t want to do less bench presses than he does, so you raise your level, do more weights, more reps.”

But enough Expendables 3, let’s talk Sabotage! Schwarzenegger tells TheArnoldFans that David Ayer is the next James Cameron!

“In Sabotage, Olivia William’s performance is so unbelievable, it immediately inspired me to give it my all! That’s what you see in this movie, the performance is really great and the director, David Ayer, I tell you, he’s another Jim Cameron! He writes himself, he directs himself. He has a sense for finality, authenticity, and he does the research.”

TheArnoldFans: Arnold, your character has several tattoos. Have you EVER ONCE considered a tattoo on your body as small as it might have been?

No. I have never, ever considered it even though I think they look great on some people. I decided to change my body 50 years ago in a different way by training 5 hours a day. I think it is really cool, but it's not my thing.

See Schwarzenegger kick some serious ass in Sabotage on March 28th!
