Christian Bale has revealed that he tried to get Arnold Schwarzenegger to appear in Terminator Salvation, the fourth movie in the Terminator franchise.
Terminator Salvation is the first film that will have Scwarzenegger missing from the cast list, however it is rumoured that a digital version of the actor has been used.
Schwarzenegger has taken a break from acting for several years to concentrate on his role as Governor of California.
In an interview with Access Hollywood Bale, who takes on the role of John Connor, said that he had told the actor to think about appearing in the movie.
"But you know what, I think he's got a lot more important things he has to consider.
"I went to Governor Schwarzenegger before photography and I told him how important it was to me to honour what he put in motion," he said.
"He's a very effusive guy and a positive guy, but he wanted the people of California to know that he was very attentive to his day job in Sacramento."
Terminator Salvation is released 3rd June.
