As many can expect, the recently revealed Arnold Schwarzenegger scandal/divorce is causing the "Governator" to halt his return to acting in order to focus on his personal life. Projects that have been postponed include the TV series/comic book
The Governator and the fifth installment of the
Terminator franchise. From
LA Times:
"In light of recent events, A Squared Entertainment, POW, Stan Lee Comics and Archie Comics have halted production," A Squared said in a statement, referring to the various entities that were developing and producing
The Governator and publishing a comic book based on the series. The producers had been selling broadcast rights to the series before the scandal broke, but no episodes had been shown on television.
A Squared said it made its decision after Schwarzenegger said Thursday that he was putting his upcoming movie projects, including
Cry Macho and a
Terminator sequel, on hold to focus on his personal life. But a person who works at A Squared, speaking on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to speak for the production company, said the show's makers made the decision Thursday morning, before Schwarzenegger's announcement.
The Governator is slated to begin airing sometime next year, and there is currently no release date for
Terminator 5.
