When we think of the Terminator, it stands to reason that the first image which springs to mind is that of Arnold Schwarzenegger. After all, not only was that one of his career’s defining roles, but he’s also viewed as being the face of the film franchise. In fact, one could argue that some of the disillusionment moviegoers shared toward Terminator Salvation had to do with his absence.
Funny enough, history could’ve played out much differently if Arnie had been cast in the role of Kyle Reese as originally intended. Believe it or not, there’s a debated urban legend saying it was Lance Henriksen whom director James Cameron originally envisioned to play the cybernetic organism with living tissue over metal endoskeleton in the picture that blurred the lines between science fiction and horror.
Now, thanks to Core of Movies, we have a general idea of what that would’ve looked like.
