The days ahead just got a little brighter: Arnold Schwarzenegger has confirmed via Twitter that he will return to acting now that his gubernatorial term is finished! But, not so fast -- Arnold needs to choose his next roles very carefully. Since he took over California, he's gone from bona fide icon to bona fide mega-icon. Rehashing the same roles he was taking before office (Collateral Damage, anyone?) won't do him or us favors. And yes, doing the same types of movies in 3-D is still a rehash. For longevity's sake, he needs a role that will blow minds, that will make everybody rethink what they thought they knew about him -- a role like one of these.
(As always, please do chime in with roles you'd like to see The Governater take for his comeback.)
