Schwarzenegger confirmed for Terminator 5

Arnold Schwarzenegger has confirmed that he will be playing the Terminator in the upcoming fifth installment of the Terminator film franchise. Other news is that filming is apparently going to start in January.

Now this comes after Terminator: Savlation (2008) with Christian Bale and Sam Worthington was pretty much a failure and after fans hoping Arnold would come back as a human character and not as the Terminator. Another concern is about his age. Having him in Rise of the Machines was pushing it and that movie is already 10 years old. Paramount also had tapped Justin Lin to direct but he chose to do Fast and Furious 6 instead. However, seeing that filming isn't going to start for another 6 months they could potentially bring Lin back.

Gina Carano to lead female version of The Expendables

This was rumored a couple months ago and I don't think I talked about it. Basically they were talking about doing a female version of The Expendables. Collider had a fantasy cast that I saw back in August, but now we have confirmation that one of their wish girls has been cast to lead the rest of the ladies. That girl is none other than former American Gladiators star Gina Carano.

Carano was most recently seen in the 2011 film Haywire and is currently filming the 6th film in the Fast and Furious franchise. Also as I mentioned before she was one of the stars in the attempted 2008 return of American Gladiators.

As far as the rest of the fantasy cast Collider put together, click the jump to see the other girls they listed.
