Arnie offered a role in Predators?

Seems Robert Rodriguez wants to recruit Arnold Schwarzenegger back to the Predator franchise.

Despite his busy schedule trying to sort out California’s budget worries, Governor Schwarzenegger is still very much in demand.

Moviehole reports that Rodriguez’ team have reached out to the Governator’s people to inquire whether he’d appear in a cameo as Major Alan “Dutch” Schaefer in Predators.

And don’t go thinking this is a remake of the original…. “They’ve written a role for him,” a second source tells the site. “Rodriguez is as against the idea of a straight-up remake as much as anyone – which is why they’re considering this an official sequel to John McTiernan’s film. Like Terminator, they know Schwarzenegger’s a vital ingredient of the franchise. Ideally, Arnold will see it that way too. Ball is in his court now”.

Apparently it’ll serve as a quasi-sequel, similar to Star Trek, though likely not playing around with the movie’s timeline like JJ Abrams did with Kirk and co…

Sounds intriguing to us – we’re warming up to the idea as we learn more…
