Arnold's doing what most stars do - ask for a role to be made bigger so they can star in the movie. It's standard procedure and I get it, but that doesn't mean the film has to accommodate that request.
Exactly, if he was doing better as of late with his star power and recent films, maybe he'd be in a position to where they'd accommodate his terms, but I don't see that being the case.

I wouldn't have given him the lead at 69-70 yrs old either and he's my favorite actor because of Predator

lol I don't think Arnold has a burning desire to be in The Predator, to the point where he'll be super proactive in getting at least a strong supporting role. Nor does Shane have a burning desire to have him star. If this was 2003 Arnold, the climate might be very different. Arnold doesn't need it and vice versa.

Slide it across his desk and if he likes it, great. If he doesn't, great. Rewrite it and he'll join, great. No? Great.

And 'Maggie' was quite possibly his single best dramatic performance yet. The film dragged, but he was great.




i liked maggie quite a lot.

Yes that's a very good point, both parties are more than likely content either way.

IMHO, if this media bit is to seriously get Arnold into a role and have  a whole re-write I'm game even if it delays the movie for another year or so.

They already started filming I believe. We don't need this to turn into Jurassic Park 3 where they're literally writing the script around action set pieces.

They've been filming since February 20th

So i cant understand why Arnold complaining  to appear as a cliffhanger in the movie which could lead to the sequel for a bigger part for him.

The version of it I was told about wouldn't have led to him appearing in a sequel. Quite the opposite.

? He was gonna die?

I hope the film does well and that the meat of the film is better than its' 90's live action Disney adventure bones. Maybe then we'll get Dutch for Predator 5.

We have seen very different versions. Arnold's dialogue might as well be 'come with me if you want to live'. (It's not for the record, just in that vein.)

I know of no version of the script in which Dutch dies. That said I have only seen one draft.

you know the movie will suck when even Arnold turns it down
