Cannes - Arnold Schwarzenegger says he intends to make even more Terminator movies.
He may be nearly 56, but Schwarzenegger plans to reprise his role as the killer cyborg for many more years to come.
The star arrived at the Cannes Film Festival to promote the long-awaited Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.
It may be 19 years since he first played the role of the Terminator in the sci-fi classic, but Schwarzenegger told a press conference he was only halfway through his acting career.
"Is this my last Terminator? No. I've so many more years left," he said.
"I'm totally full of energy and thanks to my weight training and cardio-vascular training I'm in great shape.
"I consider this the middle term of my career." And he urged fans: "Go out and see the movie. The more successful the movie is, the faster we can make Terminator 4."
With a budget of close to ?123 million, Terminator 3 is on course to become the most expensive movie ever made. Schwarzenegger is taking home a ?21 million pay cheque for his starring role.
"I've worked harder on Terminator 3 than on any movie I've ever done. It was very hard as far as the stunts were concerned and I got some serious injuries which left me needing surgery.
In the film Schwarzenegger is out to save 18-year-old resistance fighter John Connor from assassination. - Ananova.com
