IGN News : Terminator Sequels Have A Future

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRE3m-tAQIU

I love me some Terminator (http://pennycan.createaforum.com/dvd's-blu-rays/the-terminator-(1984)/msg5410/#msg5410), but how I feel about a T5 being a reboot. I dunno. I'd like to see it continue onward from Terminator: Salvation (http://pennycan.createaforum.com/dvd's-blu-rays/terminator-salvation-(2009)/msg5463/#msg5463) and finish the series the way it was intended or at least heading in that direction of where the first Terminator took place in 1984 and the final Terminator would take place way in the future with Kyle Reese so that we get the full circle of the arc. Also, I like the idea that Terminator could concievably wind up back in James Cameron's hands. That makes me  p i s s  my pants with glee. The only downside is how old Arnie will be if and when they get to that final installment. As of right now, based on who writes, directs and stars in T5, I'd have to say this is a 'Maybe' for me.

Me, I had a great idea for a 2-part movie that wraps up the first continuity and reboots it but whatever...

Post by: Chiprocks1 on December 04, 2012, 11:12:26 pm
All I want is for the series to wind up back in the hands of Cameron. It's his baby and all the other producers and director's are just playing in his sandbox with toys that don't even belong to them.

That'd be great but he's only interested in the Avatar-verse.  Which is fine.  I just want the series to wrap up or something so it can get away from the 80s-establishment.

Post by: Chiprocks1 on December 04, 2012, 11:20:37 pm
Well, to be fair, he is only interested in Avatar right now because he owns it all. But trust me, if the Terminator property does in fact revert back to him, he will make this a top priority.

Yeah, the reboot doesn't make any sense when the current story line hasn't even finished yet. This isn't Batman where the reboot every 3 films. Sound even dumber when you see that's exactly what they do nowadays.

IGN News : Terminator Reboot Slated for Summer 2015

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZx3TNN4hFA

Well, it's officially now a 'Reboot' which is what I suspected anyway. Having Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson attached can only be a good thing as he is the only person on the planet that I think can pull this off and not embarrassed himself or the franchise. Really not sure how they are going to shoehorn Arnold into this. His last couple of movies have definitely aged him beyond repair. As much as I would like to live in my T2 bubbley years and have him as the only Terminator, the fact remains that he is well past his prime. Not just for this series....but movies in general.

Terminator 5: how to reanimate the ailing sci-fi franchise
As Hollywood pursues plans for a reboot of the time-travelling cyborg tale, perhaps it's time for the powers that be to ditch Arnold Schwarzenegger and take a punt on some new talent

There's something you should know about the Hollywood types in charge of the Terminator franchise. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until yet another sub-standard sequel to James Cameron's near-perfect brace of sci-fi movies clinks and clanks its way into cinemas.

The latest effort to bring the Terminator back to the big screen is being mounted by sibling super-producers Megan and David Ellison, respectively the figures behind Zero Dark Thirty and Star Trek into Darkness. This week they announced plans to partner with Paramount to put a fifth movie in the series into production for a 2015 release date. It is being billed as a reboot, and the start of a new, standalone trilogy. There's no word yet as to whether Arnold Schwarzenegger will be back as the T-800, though the former California governor said last month that he still expects to be called upon.

So if we accept for a moment that this movie is happening, whether the world at large likes it or not (and given the pointlessness of both 2003's Terminator 3 and 2009's Terminator Salvation, who could blame us?) how might the Ellisons successfully revive a series that long since went the same way it sent human civilisation? Here are a few ideas that might just help the Terminator franchise return to its glory days. I'm sure you'll have a few of your own to add in the comments section below.

Firstly, Terminator 5's makers should bite the bullet and make the brave decision not to bring back Arnie. The Terminator is not Batman or Superman, not Spider-Man and not even James Bond. It is much harder for audiences to accept a movie without Schwarzenegger's hulking frame and instantly-recognisable Teutonic twang than it is for any of these other film series, simply because nobody else has ever successfully inhabited the role. Arnie is the T-800 in the same way as Clint Eastwood is Dirty Harry or Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones. Neither character would ever be quite the same with another actor involved.

Nevertheless, if the series is to revive its currency with audiences, it needs to move on. There is either a concept here that's intriguing and exciting enough to get people into the multiplexes with or without Arnie, or there isn't. Wheeling out a 65-year-old Schwarzenegger for a fourth film (five if you count Salvation's preposterous CGI resurrection) will only serve to remind filmgoers of past glories. Not to mention the fact that the screenwriters will have to come up with some pretty hefty contrivances to explain just why the latest Terminator looks really old and knackered. It's a hamstringing factor that the film-makers could do without, unless they can come up with something really clever along the lines of the "Spock Prime" storyline in 2009's Star Trek reboot.

Secondly, those in charge of the new film should bring back the time-travel element and do the reboot in the present day. Admittedly, the whole "send the Terminator back through time" schtick had rather lost its impact by the point Jonathan Mostow's Rise of the Machines reared its ugly head a decade ago. But the presence of relentless cyborg monsters from a terrifying future among in present-day society was what made the Terminator series great in the first place. The impact of the T-series machines bluntly and brutally working their way through a bewildered Los Angeles infused Cameron's films with a spiky levity that was completely missing from McG's Salvation. The sense of impending doom, and the contrast in behaviour between characters who know about the coming apocalypse (such as Linda Hamilton's brilliant Sarah Connor) and those who do not, were the factors that imbued Terminator 2 with all its magnetic intensity. The new film needs to return to this essential blueprint, or at least reflect it.

Finally, the Ellisons and Paramount must find a screenwriter and director with some original vision. Hollywood might have got away with appointing journeymen such as McG and Mostow while the series maintained its cultural cachet in the wake of Cameron's movies, but Terminator has been in serious decline for some time. It needs some genuinely passionate, original thinking, not hamfisted attempts to continue the story. It's time to take a punt on someone from the next generation.

Duncan Jones, Gareth Edwards or Neil Blomkamp all have experience with character-based science fiction and might just infuse the movie with the warmth and depth that has been missing from recent entries. I would have less confidence with a Justin Lin (reportedly attached at one point), who despite his sterling work in difficult circumstances with the Fast and Furious movies, does not strike me as a film-making visionary.

Of course, Joss Whedon has also expressed an interest in the past, though I imagine The Avengers director might be rather tied up with his Marvel ventures for the foreseeable future. It really is a pity we can't harness Kyle Reese's time-travelling machine and head back to the early 80s, where a young and innovative film-maker has just wrapped Piranha 2: The Spawning …

Celebrate freedom from Skynet on Fourth of July weekend as Paramount Pictures has set the new Terminator film for Wednesday, July 1, 2015. While it sounds look a surefire hit, the weekend is a bit crowded.

Paramount also officially announced on Monday the rumored title for Michael Bay’s Transformers: Age of Extinction, which bows June 27, 2014, Variety reports.

The Terminator film will bow two days ahead of two other studio tentpoles — Sony’s Independence Day 2 and an untitled toon from Universal and Illumination Entertainment.

Summer 2015 has been shaping up to be one of the most competitive summers ever at the box office, with major franchise installments, including Disney-Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, Sony’s Smurfs 3, Uni’s Jurassic World and the Batman-Superman mash-up from Warner Bros.

The studio has selected Emilia Clarke to play Sarah Connor in the Terminator reboot, re-teaming with director Alan Taylor, who has worked with Clarke in the HBO series “Game Of Thrones,” says Deadline.

Clarke joins Jason Clarke, who is in negotiations to play her son John Connor in a storyline they’ve heard involved a trip into the future. Arnold Schwarzenegger is also back in his signature cyborg role.

Paramount will release the film in July 2015.

Quote

Paramount's 'Terminator: Genesis' begins shooting next month with Jai Courtney ('A Good Day to Die Hard') and the gorgeous Emilia Clarke ('Game of Thrones') lined up for leading roles. Arnold Schwarzenegger will also be back as he promised, and shared some thoughts about his appearance. "The last time when they did the Terminator, it was when I was Governor and so I couldn't be in that movie but now I'm back again and they are very excited about having me in the film...The script is fantastic so I'm really looking forward to this film." In addition to the comments MovieHole have unveiled some potential plot details as well. 'Thor: The Dark World' director Alan Taylor is set to helm the project. Head below and be warned of spoilers.

"Firstly we will indeed be revisiting the events of the original 1984 film again. The 'Terminator' from the future will arrive on earth, attack some punks (keen to see who they get to play ‘Bill Paxton’), and then slaughter his way through a bunch of Sarah Connors’ – until he finds the correct target. And all the characters that appeared in the Cameron original, like Detective Hal Vukovich (played by Lance Henriksen in the original), Lieutenant Ed Traxler (played by Paul Winfield way back when), Sarah’s roomie Ginger (Bess Motta in the ’84 film) and, yep, even Pugsley the Iguana, return. So, yep, we’ll likely get to see Schwarzenegger back in the leather jacket and cool sunglasses he wore in the original. And, of course, Kyle Reese (Courtney) volunteers to go back to 1984 and save Sarah – just as he did first time around. But don’t expect everything to work out like it did in the original.. something is going to play out different."

'Terminator: Genesis' is set to hit theatres on 1 July 2015.

Post by: Chiprocks1 on March 03, 2014, 03:10:43 pm
If they are going to replace everyone (as they should), then why not Arnie? With that said, I do like the idea of revisiting the classic film and having a different outcome. A ripple effect.

‘Terminator’ Drops the “Genesis”; Arnold Goes ‘T2′

Quote
Arnold Schwarzenegger is definitely heading back to the 1990′s.

Wednesday afternoon Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions announced that principal photography is officially under way in New Orleans on the Terminator reboot, directed by Alan Taylor (Thor: The Dark World, “Game of Thrones”).

What’s interesting is that their press release makes no mention of “Genesis,” which leads us to believe the title of the sequel/reboot is Terminator (dropping “The” from the title is all the rage).

In addition, a new shot of Schwarzenegger was shared from set, again confirming the duel timeline/universe string theory plot. What you’ll see is the T-800 wearing his leather biker suit from T2. He’s back!

The new film is written by Laeta Kalogridis (Avatar, Shutter Island) and Patrick Lussier (Drive Angry).

Terminator stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty), Emilia Clarke (“Game of Thrones”), Jai Courtney (Divergent), J.K. Simmons (Spider-Man, “OZ”), Dayo Okeniyi (The Hunger Games), and Byung-Hun Lee (Red 2).

The Terminator franchise launched in 1984 with Schwarzenegger as the title character and spanned three subsequent films, which have earned more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office.

Paramount will distribute the film worldwide on July 1, 2015.

THIS ^^^^^^^

I'm a little worried about these random changes that have been popping up throughout pre-production though. Initially I was under the impression they had locked into a story with a completed script. But when you get these changes left and right, it does make me a bit concerned they are in fact re-writing the story and will continue to re-write the story all through production of the film, which NEVER bodes well.

Our friends at Hitfix address these stories, confirming them with an interesting bit of new information. Prepare for a doozy of a spoiler.

    There is a scene in the script where, literally, we see the scene from the first TERMINATOR film where Arnold steps out, the punks threaten him, he rips Bill Paxton’s heart out and takes his clothes and wanders off. And as soon as that scene ends, another Arnold Schwarzenegger who is older and beared and a very different version of the Terminator walks in from the side and plays another scene right at the scene of that first incident.

While Brian Thompson is actually the one who gets their heart ripped out, this is still some pretty cool news. While it feels a bit on the nose and obvious of a direction for a time travel film, it’s not that easy to pull off. I’m excited to see what Alan Taylor is able to do with the quasi-reboot in theaters July 1, 2015.

In addition, we just received a press release announcing that “Doctor Who” star Matt Smith will be joining Arnold Schwarzenegger, Emilia Clarke, Jason Clarke, Dayo Okeniji, J.K. Simmons, Sandrine Holt, Byung-hun Lee, and Jai Courtney in the film!

Smith will play a new character with a strong connection to John Connor, we’re told.

Knowing that Smith is/was playing Patrick Bateman in the stage version of American Psycho, I'm curious to see what he'll bring to the role, I know he has range, but he's still the Eleventh Doctor to me, especially when you bring robots and time travel into the mix.

Holy sh*t! Talk about blowing up what we already know about the mythology and just assumed the reboot would be. THIS is definitely taking a left turn and has me intrigued because now it will make perfect sense in Arnold Schwarzenegger's appearance in the movie. I suspect that they did all these revision just so that they could get an 'Old Terminator' into the movie and have it make sense and people wouldn't be able to whine about his age.

His casting was news to me as well. But it's not being met with positive acceptance by a lot of people posting on forums. An overwhelming majority are ripping him already just based on the cover. Knee-jerk reaction has taken on a new meaning apparently. Give him a chance before condemning the man.

Why Terminator: Genisys Could Be A Franchise-Killing Disaster (http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Why-Terminator-Genisys-Could-Franchise-Killing-Disaster-67901.html)



I'm getting the feeling the director doesn't know what the f*ck he wants to do with this installment. Having Arnie play "pops" to Sarah Conner is interesting. But the thought of them "de-aging" Arnie to look like his classic self from the original Terminator movie is leaving a sick feeling in my stomach. One of the major issues I had with Tron Legacy (besides the lame story) was "Young Jeff Bridges". It just looked horrible and something tells me that even though a few years have passed since then, the FX won't be any better of life-like now.

How Terminator Genisys Will Use an 67-year Old Arnold T-800

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF_xywhd9eM&index=8&list=UUVRryjitgzUEtDJRYf58kfA



Kim is a horrible "anchor" or whatever you want to call it. She's clearly out of her depth whenever the camera is on her and watching her fumble her way through this was painful. Why didn't they use Ana for this "story". I know, it's a stretch to call this a story, but it is newsworthy and people are definitely talking about it. Because of that, TYT should go with their best On-Air personalities, hence, Ana. With that out of the way, what James Cameron said is spot-on and was alluded to in the extended scene in T2 if memory is failing you. I also like the idea that just because they are changing it up in this new movie, that it doesn't necessarily wipe out the existence of what has come before. Just different, alternate realities that can definitely be "put back on course" down the road with future films. Kind of like a "What If" scenario. Well, we f*cked up 3 times. We couldn't kill Sarah. We couldn't kill John and we couldn't kill Kate. Lets try a different approach this time and go back and make Sarah an orphan, raise her and see how that plays out.

By the way, I reeeeeeeeeeeally hope that Robert Patrick returns as the T-1000, lives next door to Sarah Conner and plays the sidekick to Arnold's T-800 and are bowling buddies. Want to see them get drunk in the movie and talk about how they'd tap the Terminatrix and whatnot.  ;D Now that I think about it, they should just do a 'Buddy Cop' version of the Terminator where they get into hijinxs in trying to foil a heist that takes place in Cyberdyne.  ;)

I think I just found my next writing project. Stay tuned........

I remember at one point there was an idea that we would see Robert Patrick as the guy inventing the T-1000... it'd just be a ball o liquid metal floating in the air, but at one point it would morph into the T-1000's original face and talk to him.

A "trailer" to announce a Trailer. A bit redundant, don't you think? With that said, bring on the real thing. Not holding my breath that it will be anything longer than 30 seconds.

It's Clickbait for films, is what it is.  I'm kinda sick of it, but honestly, I wouldn't have had any idea that the trailer was about to come out if it wasn't for this little video.

Now for the actual content:

* I'm actually kinda psyched to see the T-1000 again.  I think it might be Byung-hun Lee, which should be distinctive enough (I just remembered that we had sen a female T-1001 in The Sarah Conner Chronicles, so I guess it hasn't been THAT long since I've seen one of those things.

* I'm honestly thinking of this more like a pastiche and tribute more than an actual movie, there's really nothing to add to the whole Terminator mythos, but there are bits from the last two flicks I liked, so in my mind this is a freebie, it doesn't count, so they can try whatever they want and be redundant or out there or whatever they want.  It's just a movie.

Terminator: Genisys Official Trailer #1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqbOFjl7ZWE


Okay, I'm seriously in need of a second opinion here. My initial reaction to the trailer is that this looks horrible. I don't know if my knee-jerk reaction to this has anything to do with being very protective of the first two Terminator films and the actors that portrayed them. I don't know if my biased views is tainting this at all. So, I ask you guys if you are seeing and getting the same thing I am or I'm overreacting here. Maybe it's just a sh*tty trailer that was rushed out and they didn't have enough time to edit it better in a way to really sell the new idea on me. I will watch the trailer again and see if anything stands out or if this improves in any capacity for me.

So, I’m telling myself. Ignore Chips concerns. Ignore my overall gut feeling about Terminator: Genisys, and just watch what they present us. Go in with a clear head.

Not impressed. Some of the CGI was mediocre at best. And every scene in that trailer seemed contained some Déjà vu elements. Nothing seemed particularly new to me. And that is going to be my major go to… A good story. Genisys may have a new perspective and an interesting end, but if they fill the rest of the flick with Terminator formula stuff, my enthusiasm will wane.

And while fan boys are probably gonna love Arnie coming back, I rolled my eyes… seriously. You had to say I’ll Be Bach? Again? Really?

Note: We all know trailers are notorious for selling us something different. We unfortounately have to wait for the final product to come out. Then I need to hear an overwhelming hell yes, or Oh hell no.

I watched it again and to be honest, it was worse than my initial viewing. Will this keep me from checking out the movie? If course not. But I absolutely will not be seeing this in the theater, which I was on the fence doing. I will just wait for the DVD release. As for the content of what they gave us in the trailer, what I'm taking away from it is that Genisys is an alternate "reality" set within the original Terminator. That's the only thing I can think of to explain why one scene in particular has the "original" , albeit CGI Arnie T-800 version at the Observatory with Grandpa Arnie T-800. It looks like a showdown between himself and......him.......self. FYI, Arnie Terminator with shock-white hair is the most disturbing thing I will see in 2014/2015. Sigh. And yes, I noticed a handful of scenes that were either shot for shot remakes or taken direct from the original films.

My thoughts:

* I've stopped giving a d*mn about CGI in trailers because I know it's all rudimentary... the effects artists don't know what's going into the trailer until the last minute, and the shots are all in-progress.  So I'm holding off judgement on that.  So a complaint about bad CGI in a trailer, especially in one for a movie that doesn't come out for six months, is a pointless complaint.

* I don't think that's a CGI Arnold at the observatory, i think it's a shot from the 80s movie (it looks SO out of place), then the other angle is a body double (maybe Roland Kickinger again).

* I love the first two Terminator flicks as much as anyone, and there's no way you can add onto them or improve upon them.  So if they MUST make more Terminator flicks (they must, they must), I appreciate going f*cking nuts and trying something new rather than trying to squeeze in something that doesn't fit (like T3).  And the idea of going back and screwing up the original flicks is exactly the sort of thing *I* would do if I had my hands on the franchise.

* This also seems like the first Terminator flick that's a proper time travel flick... in the first three, time travel was just used to explain the motivations and so on, but this is the first one that said "you know what, let's use time travel SMARTLY and beat the bad guys to the punch!"  I can't believe it took them this long to think of shooting the first bad guy the second he arrived!

* I wasn't ready Khaleesi as Khaleesi at all.

* I didn't see Matt Smith anywhere in the trailer... or if I did, he didn't register as Matt Smith at all.

* There's so much in this trailer, you know, like they're jamming in all the Terminator movies together (the stuff in the future looked too much like "Salvation" for my tastes, I liked the cold blue model+greenscreen feel of T2), but I think that the trailer should have looked like a remake of the first movie.  Lull us into a false sense of security, then changed sh*t up on us.  Shot for shot remake, then throw us for a loop and leave us reeling.  Look at the T2 full-length trailer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eajuMYNYtuY

It's real simple, and it's just one "oh sh*t!" revelation after another.  "Oh sh*t, the Terminator's back!" "Oh sh*t, he's after the kid!" "Oh sh*t, he's the good guy!" "Oh sh*t, that other machine is insanely advanced!" and finally "Oh sh*t, I gotta see this movie."

Maybe it's a thing where they have to prove to everyone their flick is good because the last two were garbage and they wind up overcompensating, maybe it's studio pressure, maybe it's just the fact that the saavy audience already knows so much about it already... I dunno.

We also have to deal with the fact that T1 and T2 are simple premises, while this thing is... wild.  All over the place.  They needed to boil it down.  It sounds more like a crazy man's ramblings, or how I sound when I'm talking about something I'm in the process of making.  A trailer, especially a teaser, should be an invitation.  The "what if."  This isn't that.

I'm waiting for the inevitable Rewind Trailer that IGN does for specific movies just like this. I'm sure it will be up sometime later today/tonight.

Post by: Neumatic on December 04, 2014, 03:48:35 pm
Isn't it technically already a "rewind" trailer, with the time travel and all?

* Okay, seeing your avatar, I gotta ask: how would you react if Summer/Cameron was in the flick?

* Okay, seeing your avatar, I gotta ask: how would you react if Summer/Cameron was in the flick?

I'd buy a tent, plant it in front of chosen theater and then wait 6 months for the movie to drop. She's the only one that can make me do sh*t like this. I know I just got finished with my Terminator marathon a few months back, but she was fun to watch in the Sarah Conner Chronicles. Me likey her and is why I want to watch the series again. Now.  :)

There's your twist!  Instead of falling for Kyle Reese, Khaleesi falls for Summer Glau.  Butts in seats, baby, butts in seats.  Of course, if Conner falls for a girl, there's no John Conner.  Four movies, the robots never thought to SEDUCE their target before.

You know, as I think about it, the show really allowed for time to ponder the repercussions of Terminators, time travel, causality and all that, themes that the movies touched on but couldn't explore, and that's why it worked.  The non-Cameron sequels didn't really get into that.  And I can't really see how a movie THIS busy could get into it in a satisfying way.

I almost hear you saying that there will be that one eye rolling scene where the events are explained to the audience.

Ouch. That's both a compliment and an insult. Clarke has her own identity and has done her best in creating a character people love in GoT. So, that's gotta sting when your co-star can't even remember to call you by your own name. Sure, it's nice that he puts you in the same category with someone as awesome as J-Law, but come on dude, it's still not cool to name drop someone else when describing you.  How do you think Arnie would feel if people starting referring to him as 'Lou Ferrigno Jr'. Yeah, not cool.

Hahaha. Okay, I just watched the "trailer" and realized that it was just some comedian doing the Arnie voice. Well played. I really thought that going in, I was expecting to hear the real Arnie insulting Clarke.

I find it funny that Arnie can slam Terminator Salvation in saying it "sucked", but he can't admit that Terminator 3 is a bad movie in its own right. Salvation beats Rise Of The Machines every time.

Not seeing this in the theater.  :-\

Terminator Genisys "Payoff" Trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNsSWTZpaaA

Warning, this trailer gives away too much information. Some cool things can be found within, but I was also groaning at a lot of other things that makes it look cheesier each time. Now I'm really worried about what this movie is going to be. I'm not confident that they know what they are doing.

Didn't watch it.  I'm not watching or reading anything else about Terminator until the Blu-Ray comes out, it might be good, might be terrible, but I don't want it spoiled.  Debating if I should "write my own" in the interim (well, I guess I already did a while ago)

I knew James Cameron couldn't be trusted! No, I haven't seen the movie, but I was curious what the overall consensus was from the average fan and surprise surprise, it's being eviscerated by pretty much everyone. JC's endorsement was clearly too good to be true. I will still be checking this out when it drops on DVD. But now my expectations are very very low.....more so than it was just a couple months ago.

So I reviewed this movie in the other thread and just came back to this one. Funny thing, I hated the movie so much, I did not finish and did not see this big twist. I'm pretty sure I would have just lost it, if I had watched it to then. This is just so bad.

I hear MST3K is trying to restart. Maybe they can get the rights to this and have a ball.

The Terminator Franchise Just Lost One Of Its Main Actors (http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Terminator-Franchise-Just-Lost-One-Its-Main-Actors-126157.html)


Smartest move Emilia Clarke has done is to walk away from any future installments. There is no upside to staying on.
