Yawn!
Thanks to Twitter, Terminator scuttlebutt is off-and-running and setting the stage for a much-anticipated star-studded red-carpet premiere next month.
When the Governator was first approached about appearing in "Salvation" (which stars temperamental actor Christian Bale in the lead role in what amounts to a 4th installment of the successful Terminator franchise) the former pumping iron stud thought the project might interfere with his "day" job, according to wife Maria Shriver by way of clandestine tweet.
And, you surmised by his lacklustre performance in Sacramento of late, that Arnold wasn't wiling away any hours in the office at all, eh?
Naw, he's just an effectual son-of-a-gun!
Anyhoo, the director conjured up a great film scenario when the dilemma reared its ugly head.
In the latest plot twist for the Terminator ("Salvation") Christian Bale's character will uncover the fact that Schwarzenegger's menacing persona is actually a "future" terminator ripe for blowing away.
Through the magical wizardry of leading edge technology in the special effects field, the aging Austrian hunk will grace the silver screen by virtue of old footage from the 1st Terminator movie - albeit - artfully touched up.
The studio vows up and down that no one will be able to fathom the difference.
Yeah, right!
I wonder, though, will filmgoers be treated once again to that eye-popping shot of Schwarzenegger dropping to the earth stark naked in the prime of his manhood?
Fans will have to spring for a ticket to find out.
"Salvation" isn't even going to make it to my DVD list anytime soon, though.
Like Arnold, the ongoing theatrical saga has gotten old and gray, in my estimation.
Not even Geritol could save the franchise!
