Schwarzenegger Delays Movie Comeback
A few weeks ago we heard Arnold Schwarzenegger was shopping around a possible new "Terminator" film. Now he's put all of that on hold. A rep for Schwarzenegger says the former Governor of California will be turning his focus to personal matters and won't be committing to any production schedules for the time being.
Good-byes
