Is the name Arnold Schwarzenegger going to be seen at the beginning of Will Smith's I AM LEGEND next summer? Seems so according to the latest Entertainment Weekly on new stands now.

E.T. Weekly claims that Arnold and Ridley Scott left the production because of a sky-rocketing budget said to be north of 108 million (back in the 90's), but Arnold kept the producer title. There was no mention of Arnie's play or pay deal worth 25 million. Does that mean it will say executive produced by Schwarzenegger when the credits roll at the start of film and this will be an Arnold film (in some form)? Does that mean Arnie will collect royalties when the film becomes a BLOCKBUSTER? Time will tell.

If Arnold does not serve a second term as California's Governor, he will no doubt want to strive for new goals and not simply limit himself to acting only. Knowing our Arnold with the always-expanding resume, we see him heading down the path towards winning an Oscar at the Academy Awards for BEST DIRECTOR!

Will being a Hollywood Producer be his stepping stone to Director? It is also said Arnold wants to some day direct the legendary "Crusade" script. Is is very likely we may one day see Arnold co-star and direct just like his own idol and director friend Clint Eastwood(actor, producer, director).

Arnold will no doubt return to a few big movies; but don't expect him to always be in FRONT of the camera.
