Arnold Schwarzenegger initially wanted to change his most iconic movie quote
Arnold Schwarzenegger has perhaps one of the most iconic lines in movie history - but it could have been different if the veteran actor had his way. We all know the line "I'll be back" from his memorable role in The Terminator (1984), but the 75-year-old revealed in a new Netflix documentary series Arnold that he tried to get the line changed. But it also turns out that "I'll be back," was not the original line in the script written by director James Cameron along with Gale Anne Hurd. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The line that Schwarzenegger was supposed to say initially was "I'll come back." "Sometime in the middle of the shoot, we're doing this police station scene. The line is, 'I'll come back.' It wasn't meant to be like a big moment at all," Cameron said. "It was literally meant to be, on its face, 'No problem, I'll come back.' For some reason, Arnold didn't say, 'I'll come back.' I said, 'Well, just say "I'll be back." Keep it simple.'" Every "I'll be back" from Terminator 1 to 6 (Compilation) www.youtube.com However, Schwarzenegger wasn't exactly a fan and believed "I'll be back" sounded "funny," so instead he wanted the line to sound more "machine-like" and lobbied for "I will be back." Though Cameron wasn't exactly impressed with Schwarzenegger's suggestion. "'And he says, 'Are you the writer?'" Schwarzenegger recalled Cameron saying. "And I said, 'No,' and he said, 'Well, don't tell me how to f****** write.'" In the end, Schwarzenegger admitted that Cameron's line was "absolutely right." "It became the most quoted movie line, I think, in the history of motion pictures. So this just shows to you who was right and who was wrong," the actor added. Given that “I’ll be back" comes in at number 37 on the American Film Institute’s list of “100 Greatest Movie Quotes Of All Time" safe to say it was the right call. Arnold, the three-part documentary series is now available to stream on Netflix. Have your say in our news democracy.

'The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial' makes the case for William Friedkin's final film
Mounted as the filmed version of a stage play, "The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial" has more in common with "A Few Good Men" than the 1954 movie starring Humphrey Bogart, and might be as notable for its credit list as this sturdy but unspectacular production -- marking, as it does, the final film from director William Friedkin as well as co-star Lance Reddick, both of whom died earlier this year.

'Heartbroken' Will Smith gives moving review of Jada Pinkett Smith's new book
Will Smith has opened up about Jada Pinkett Smith's new memoir Worthy after a string of bombshell revelations were made in recent weeks. The pair have been secretly separated for the past seven years according to Pinkett Smith, who recently appeared on the Today show with Hoda Kotb and now on Jay Shetty's podcast to discuss her life. On an episode of On Purpose, Shetty read a message from a "shocked" Smith after reading the book. "I just turned the final page of Worthy," the I Am Legend actor penned. "It is amazing to realize that despite having lived most of my life by your side, I still found myself shocked and stunned and caught off guard, laughing, then inspired, then heartbroken. I was all over the place." He continued: "It’s one thing to hear anecdotes at a family barbecue, but it was truly overwhelming to take in your story, potently condensed in this way." Jada Pinkett Smith OPENS UP On Her Marriage & Struggling With Dark Thoughts www.youtube.com "I know it wasn’t easy to excavate the depths in that way. I applaud and honour you," he wrote in the poignant letter. "If I had read this book 30 years ago, I definitely would have hugged you more. I’ll start now. Welcome to the Authors Club. I love you endlessly. Now go get some Merlot and take a rest." It comes after Pinkett Smith shocked fans when she announced on TV that she and Smith have been living separate lives, as she made a promise to never get a divorce. She also addressed the infamous Oscars slap, which saw Smith get on stage and assault Chris Rock following a "G.I Jane" joke. However, she noted that she was more shocked at the fact he referred to her as his wife. "We haven’t called each other husband and wife in a long time," she said.
