Terminator's Salvation

If you were wondering (hoping) that some good ol' fashioned beefcake would be injected into the fourth installment of the Terminator series, Terminator Salvation, then your prayers have been answered (although it does seem a bit odd that we are still hearing about cast additions to the film when we've already seen a teaser trailer).

Nevertheless, Austrian bodybuilder-turned actor Roland Kickinger has been tapped to play a "younger" version of the cyborg assassin immortalized in the first movie by Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is not the first time Kickinger (who some may recognize from the Baywatch spoof Son of the Beach from a few years back) has followed in Arnie's footsteps; he played the Pumping Iron era Schwarzenegger in the TV movie biopic See Arnold Run.

Terminator Salvation, which stars Christian Bale, Helena Bonham Carter, Bryce Dallas Howard and Anton Yelchin under the direction of Charlie's Angels' McG, is scheduled to open May 22.
