“Come with me if you want to go to D6 Sentul East.”
Did you switch your Waze app on at all today? We just tinkered with it when we read that actor and former California Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger will provide turn-by-turn directions as his titular character from the Terminator franchise.
First reported by USA Today, the stint is a part of the promotion for the upcoming “Terminator: Genisys” film.
In addition to directions, drivers can expect an Austrian-accented “Hasta la vista, baby” at the end of each trip, along with some other classic Arnie phrases. He apparently an hour’s worth of studio time to record the automated prompts so don’t expect him to be saying “Changkat Bukit Bintang” or any random Malaysian street name.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Waze has worked with famous voices: Kevin Hart, promoting “Ride Along” and Terry Crewes, promoting “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”, have both worked with the navigation company.
To land Schwarzenegger, Waze formed a partnership with Paramount Studios. This means we could very well be hearing more celebrity voices in the near future! Driving around with the navigation app on has never been more fun 😉
