Finally Confirmed: Arnold is in Terminator Salvation
MTV caught up with Terry Crews who put all the Arnold Schwarzenegger cameo in Terminator Salvation rumors to rest once and for all.
Unless Crews was drunk or didn't realize the calendar wasn't on April 1 during the interview, Arnold is in the movie. Done deal.
Crews' exact words were "That's it. And so am I" when asked about the possibility of he and Arnold appearing in Terminator Salvation. "There are a lot of guys in that movie. I mean, Terminator 4 is very big."
Crews went on to state that Arnold is also lined up for a cameo in The Expendables which is currently shooting down in Reno with Jason Statham, Sly Stallone, Eric Roberts and Steve Austin. "I am not at liberty to discuss what kind of cameo it is [in The Expendables], but I know for a fact he wants to be down," Crews explained. "Arnold and I did a movie together a long time ago called The 6th Day. Arnold and I are cool; he's the best."
Will Arnold appear in T4 already a T-800 or will we see the human character the T-800 was based off? I'm thinking some CGI wizardry will be put into place so we see a "young" Arnold just as he appeared in the first Terminator. I'd plunk down $10 for that alone.
AC/DC to play Regina's Mosaic Stadium
REGINA -- Australian superstars are invading Regina’s Mosaic Stadium in August, but they won’t be playing that whacky version of football which is so popular Down Under.
Sources have confirmed that legendary hard rockers AC/DC are set to play Mosaic Stadium on Monday, Aug. 24th. The Saskatchewan Roughriders are in Montreal on Aug. 21, allowing Australia’s most famous rock band to strut its stuff in the home of the Green and White, replacing football cheers with slashing guitar chords for what organizers believe will be an unforgettable night of hard rock.
“I think this is going to be huge,” said one organizer, who requested anonymity. “The show is on a Monday night (instead of the weekend) but I don’t think that matters. It’s AC/DC. It’s going to sell.
“It’s a huge stage. The production is on par with the Rolling Stones shows we had here. This is the kind of show Regina has been waiting for since the Stones. This show is worthy of a football stadium.”
Like the two Rolling Stones shows in October 2006, AC/DC’s stage will be located in Mosaic Stadium’s south end zone, allowing the Australian quintet to play to the entire stadium, including thousands of seats on the playing turf. About 38,000 tickets will be sold for the show, for $99 and $69, plus service charges.
Tickets go on sale, Saturday April 18th at all Ticketmaster locations, including the Brandt Centre, Casino Regina and Casino Moose Jaw. Tickets will also be available online.
“I strongly recommend people try to get their tickets online,” one source told the Leader-Post.
Unlike the Rolling Stones shows, there will be no special deals or pre-sale dates for Roughrider season ticket holders. Pick up a copy of Saturday’s printed Leader-Post or return to leaderpost.com on the long weekend for more details on tickets.
This week, AC/DC officially launched a North American football stadium leg to its hugely successful Black Ice World Tour, which began in 2008. Several U.S. dates were announced, but the Canadian dates have not yet been posted to the band’s web site. An official announcement on the Canadian shows is expected today.
Sources tell the Leader-Post AC/DC will be playing four CFL stadiums in Western Canada in late August: Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton and Vancouver. The shows take place after AC/DC plays Grand Rapids, Mich., on Aug. 18th and before the band returns to the U.S. to play Tacoma, Wash., on August 30.
“For this to work, for those 10 or so days, the western (CFL) teams needed to be off or playing away games, so it’s really fortunate that the CFL schedule worked out that way,” said one organizer.
AC/DC was formed in 1973 in Sydney, Australia by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, the band’s two guitar players. The rest of the lineup includes singer Brian Johnson, bassist Cliff Williams and drummer Phil Rudd.
After a few early albums, in 1979, the band recorded their highly successful album Highway to Hell, bringing their unique brand of hard rock to the masses in North America. But just as the band was ready to launch its most ambitious concert tour, lead singer and co-songwriter Bon Scott died on Feb. 19, 1980, after a night of heavy drinking. The group nearly disbanded, but ex-Geordie singer Brian Johnson was selected as Scott’s replacement. Later that year, the band released their best-selling album, Back in Black, which included the hits “Back in Black” and “You Shook Me All Night Long.”
AC/DC has sold more than 200 million albums worldwide, including 69 million albums in the United States. Back in Black has sold an estimated 42 million units worldwide and 22 million in the United States alone, making it the fifth highest-selling album ever in the United States.
AC/DC ranked fourth on VH1’s list of the “100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock” and the seventh “Greatest Heavy Metal Band Of All Time” by MTV. In 2004, the band was ranked number eight in the Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
The band’s latest album, Black Ice, was released in October, 2008.
AC/DC played in Saskatoon nearly 20 years ago, but has never performed in Regina.
Jackman 'heartbroken' over leaked superhero film
SYDNEY (AFP) – Hugh Jackman, who plays superhero Wolverine in the new X-Men movie, said Wednesday he was "heartbroken" that the film was leaked on the Internet a month before its official release.
The Australian star of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" said the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was on the case and he believed the culprit would be found.
"It's a serious crime and there's no doubt it's very disappointing -- I was heartbroken by it," Jackman told reporters at a promotion for the movie in Sydney.
The leaked version of the 20th Century Fox action movie was reportedly downloaded tens of thousands of times within a day of being posted on file-sharing websites at the end of March.
"Obviously, people are seeing an unfinished film," Jackman said. "It's like a Ferrari without a paint job."
The 40-year-old Hollywood heartthrob, named Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine last year, said he was convinced that whoever had posted the copy would be tracked down.
"The FBI are on to it and they're taking it very, very seriously," he said. "Rest assured that person will be found."
Jackman arrived by helicopter on Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour, where some of the movie was filmed, for the first stop of a world promotion tour ahead of its official release at the end of the month.
He then delighted hundreds of invited guests and media by swooping down from a clifftop on a cable before unveiling 20 minutes of completed footage.
Jackman said he was heartened by the fact that most people had condemned the leak and thought fans would still go to see it at the cinema.
The leak has already claimed at least one casualty -- a US entertainment columnist who was fired for reviewing a stolen copy downloaded from the Internet.
Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, which owns both 20th Century Fox Films and Fox News, said writer Roger Friedman had been "promptly terminated" after posting his column on the Fox News website last week.
"We, along with 20th Century Fox Film Corporation, have been a consistent leader in the fight against piracy and have zero tolerance for any action that encourages and promotes piracy," News Corporation said in an emailed statement.
"When we advised Fox News of the facts they took immediate action, removed the post, and promptly terminated Mr Friedman."
The "X-Men" film, based on the eponymous comic book characters, was apparently spread with BitTorrent file-sharing technology that lets people exchange large data files between computers.
