In February Linda Hamilton, who played Sarah Connor in the original Terminator films, told MTV that she was talking with the Terminator Salvation people about possibly doing a voice-over in the film. Now Chud have word from someone who has already seen the film that Hamilton’s voice-over is indeed in the film.

A source who has seen the film confirms to us that Hamilton’s voice over is in the film, and that it works very well in context. Her voice over is not long, and it comes at the very beginning of the movie; the source compared it in tone and style to her voice over in T2.

We have also been getting strong hints that Mr. Schwarzenegger will also be appearing in some form. We have to hand it to director McG for making this happen and keeping the Terminator universe connected. It will make the viewing experience just that little bit cooler!

Linda Hamilton in negotiations to do a voiceover for Terminator Salvation

Is it looking likely that Arnold Schwarzenegger will appear in Terminator Salvation in some form, and now we have news that another key character could also be making an appearance…in some form. Linda Hamilton, who played Sarah Connor in the original Terminator films, told MTV:

“We are talking,” Hamilton told us during a wide-ranging conversation for her Movie Badass selection. “I haven’t read it yet. I don’t know what direction they will go in.”
While she awaits the specifics in a script, Hamilton already knows what her role generally would be. “My contribution would be voiceover,” she said. “I would probably be very happy to loan my voice depending on what the material is. Wait and see. They’re already writing it. We’ve been negotiating it.”
News of Hamilton’s likely involvement jibes with word coming out of last weekend’s New York Comic-Con, where “Salvation” director McG intimated that her participation in the reboot is essential. “She’s the greatest,” he said of Sarah Connor, adding that as an integral figure in franchise mythology, “one can imagine she plays an important role.”

I hope these negotiations go well as having Linda doing a voiceover would be great, especially for linking Terminator Salvation into the Terminator universe.

Arnold’s Voice In Terminator Salvation?

Terminator Salvation producer Moritz Borman recently spoke to Wired about the involvement of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie.

Borman, who produced all three previous Terminator movies, told Wired.com: “Schwarzenegger is governing California. He will not be, as a person, in the film.”
“As a person” opens the door to some kind of voiceover, right?
“I’m not going to answer the question about what we’re trying, or what we want, or what we’re toying with,” said Borman. “It’s really up to what fits in the film or not. Maybe his voice, or maybe not. It’s really not settled.

I hope both Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton are in the movie in some form. To not acknowledge their existence in the Terminator universe would be a shame. However, I am tired of people asking members of the cast and crew about their involvement. The producers are obviously wanting to surprise us so why spoil it!

Stupid question asking people.

Update on Linda Hamilton’s Involvement In Terminator Salvation

Last week there was talk of Linda Hamilton making an appearence in Terminator Salvation, however that was speculation and nobody really knew if she would make an appearance as Sarah Connor or not. More recent rumours have suggested a photograph of Sarah Connor would be used in the film. Well, yesterday TheArnoldFans contacted Hamilton’s agent and got this response:

…we just got off the phone with Linda Hamilton’s agent on Monday, August 11th. The original Sarah Connor star has not been contacted at all for any “Terminator Salvation” offers nor for her rights of her Polaroid to be used in the film. We even asked if Hamilton was contacted to lend her voice for narration. I think it’s safe to say Linda will NOT be back. Sarah Connor only lives on through her son, John.
Linda’s agent told us it was her belief that Hamilton would need to be paid by WB but the film company has not yet contacted them. “I can’t give an answer and until we’re approached, we have no idea,” she told us before asking us many questions about where all of these rumors came from. Nothing but a rumor.

If they plan on using an image of Sarah Connor in the film it could mean that Hamilton may not be contacted until the post production stages, so there is a chance Hamilton may appear. Although, I’d rather not know as it could ruin a surprise. Damn movie news websites and blogs!

Linda Hamilton In Terminator Salvation?

Sarah Connor could be appearing in Terminator Salvation if Pause.com’s post has any truth in it.

I just got off the phone with a studio source who told me that Linda Hamilton has just signed on for (up to) a three-picture deal to reprise her role as Sarah Connor in flashbacks. This is excellent news for those of us who would have otherwise missed her girl-next-door-turned-badass presence in the next Terminator outing.

However, they later updated the post with:

I’ve since spoken to a representative for Hamilton who claims that they haven’t heard about this, which obviously puts a damper on this story. The rep said “I can tell you that Linda is a big fan of T1 and T2 and would be very interested in hearing about participating in the new film” but beyond that claimed not to know anything about it.

Who do we believe? The studio source or the rep who may not want to spoil the surprise? I hope this turns out to be true as it would add some much needed continuity to the trilogy. Linda Hamilton didn’t return for T3 because apparently the script was “soulless” and director James Cameron wasn’t returning. Although Cameron has nothing to do with next set of films, they do have his blessing, and that may be enough for Hamilton to sign the dotted line.
