TERMINATOR's Schwarzenegger will be back... For real!

After endless teasing and evasiveness, Arnold Schwarzenegger has finally confirmed he will have a cameo in the upcoming Terminator: Salvation. Variety reports:

Turns out Schwarzenegger has been secretly working with helmer McG and the effects team to reprise his signature role ... without lifting a finger.

A body-cast mold of Schwarzenegger, created when he first appeared as the muscle-ripped cyborg, provided the basis for a digital-effects version of his famous character. The figure appears in Terminator Salvation as a living, breathing actor.

Schwarzenegger viewed the resulting footage and gave his go-ahead just in time for McG to include the footage before the helmer completes his cut of the movie.

Schwarzenegger says the scene will involve the human resistance fighters invading Skynet HQ and confronting an entire squad of Arnie-model cyborgs. That muffled sound you just heard was my inner 14-year-old hooting in excitement.
