Arnold Is Back for Terminator 5 - Part 1

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Sawyer's right. I've never heard of Bethel until now, but he has the best look.

I just looked him up and I agree. If he can act give him the role. I won't hold Hart of Dixie against him.

Bethel is pretty spot on.

 

[Eggyman]

So is it a reboot or #5? If it's a reboot, why would Reece have to look the same? I have no idea what's going on.

Why did they they hire Arnold Schwarzennegar?!

The director has said he's been looking at T1 and T2 for the inspiration with this one. Trust me, this is the same "REBOOT" Terminator Salvation claimed it was being (i.e. NOT REALLY)

 

[Solidus]

TS was never claimed to be a reboot, it just said it was not going to follow everything exactly the way it happened in T3.

Many trades claim still this is a reboot, and the name Terminator Genesis (very akin to Batman Begins) seems to show more of that. Why Arnold? Who knows? But I think it's clear this is going to be at least a ST09 style reboot.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Only one I have seen act is Courtney, who I thought was great in Jack Reacher and did okay with what he had to work with in DH5.

Bethel does look the most like Biehn though.

I disagree.

1:I seriously doudt the time travel Is back to 1984 or earlier.I will bet It's "Present" they go back
2:Arnold has been mentioned as protector terminator similar to what they did
In T2 and 3.
3:If arnold Is sarah Connor's protector how does Kyle reece fit In story? My theory Is they are changing reece from soldier sent to protect her who ends up as John Connor's father to simply being Sarah's Love Intrest In present.
4:At time some called TS a reboot.

I think this Is going to be a straight up reboot of terminator series and they are doing like In Casino Royale have arold back as the terminator like Judi Dench played M again despite the reboot.

Yes it was claimed that way. McG even referenced the Bat films as well. These quotes can be found eventually.

If this actually happens I will be very disappointed, that sounds awful.

Since they are recasting sarah Connor and Kyle Reece close to their ages In original film there has to be some elements of reboot/remake In here even though I for one would prefer another sequel.

To do a Trek 2009 something would have to happen preT1 to completly change the timeline.I seriously doudt that or time traveling to 1984 Is going to happen.

At same time If arnold Schwarzennegar Is playing a terminator who Is sent back to portect Sarah Connor then I doudt Reece Is given same job

At same time we know John Connor Is In film.Considering the fact this I splanned outright as part 1 of a trilogy there Is good chance much of first act of film could be In future giving more glimpse of future war and setup for timetravel than the original film did.

 

[Solidus]

Yes it was claimed that way. McG even referenced the Bat films as well. These quotes can be found eventually.

I still don't remember that, I remember them saying it would keep T1 and T2 in it's canon, but ignore T3, which is why he was bragging about Linda Hamilton and her "cameo".

You can reference Bat films, but he still was not saying it was a full on reboot.

Even if he did...it's McG, and just because they said that before does not mean that again. Because them doing that failed them miserably.

The title, and what they have been saying about it to the trades (the producers Megan Ellison etc) is more reboot talk then it was with TS. TS had to have T1 and T2's story in it regardless, it was never seen as going to be a reboot. A reboot means you ignore all that came before it (unless you do it ST09 style).

 

[marvelrobbins]

If this actually happens I will be very disappointed, that sounds awful.

The problem Is Arnold has been mentioned as being sent back In time to protect Sarah as she Is growing up.The thing noone has brought up when that's
been said If a terminator In Arnold model Is the protector then what Is Kyle Reece's role In this film.

Remmeber In reboot they don't have to fit established terminator lore.They have called it stand alone trilogy.If they are determine to have Arnold as hero they could easily rewrite Reece as someone who lives In "Present" of this trilogy and becomes sarah's love Intrest/John's father.

I am very doudtful they will have 2 protectors sent from future to protect Sarah.

 

[Solidus]

And to add to my last point, it does not matter what McG said (though I still have no remembrance of him saying TS was a full on reboot at all), he was a liar and a half. He claimed Nolan wrote the script when he really just wrote a few lines for Bale. That and this is a whole new group of producers etc, it's not the people saying it, it's the trades again and again saying it's some form of a reboot, either a ST09 or full reboot we do not know.

But again this is apparently called Terminator Genesis and of course genesis in dictionary terms is:

The coming into being of something; the origin

In multiple ways from the trades to what they are casting, and what the trades have been saying, and the title, it seems to be some form of a reboot.

 

[marvelrobbins]

I agree this Is reboot even though I really don't want one.

Arnold as terminator In reboot is a bit like Judi Dench as M In first 3 rebooted bond films.

TS was called reboot at one time and later on sequel to just the first 2 films.

Them calling this planned trilogy stand alone from other films screams reboot.

 

[terry78]

If we held tv shows against actors, a lot of them wouldn't be where they are now career wise. Dude has the look down pat though...it's eerie.

 

[Lencho01]

Jai Courtney...lol no.

What's wrong with him?!

 

[craigdbfan]

They should definitely go with Bethel. Never heard of the guy but I like how he does resemble the original Reese. Eggyman brought up why it would matter, well for me it still going to be an alternate timeline. Even though there should be differences I always envision alternate versions of ourselves to still be somewhat similar for the exception of a few differences here or there.

Courtney for example wouldn't work at all. Not only for his horrid acting but just because visually he looks absolutely nothing like the original.

 

[Lencho01]

Are they really trying to get people that kinda look like the previous actors? None of them look alike to me.

But, really... what is it people don't like about Courtney? He's been fine in everything I've seen him in. Even Die Hard 1,000,000.

Update: TERMINATOR: GENESIS begins filming on April 21st in New Orleans.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^Interesting, I imagine all of the casting will be finalised pretty soon then.

 

[Warhammer]

I wonder if this film stuns us all by making John Connor the time traveler.

 

[Teelie]

Meaning he impregnates his mother with himself...

 

[MrMaooz]

It must've sucked for people in the 90's when the trailers for T2 gave away the fact that Arnie's the protector.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I was born in 1984 and I don't remember T2's marketing and that's a little odd to me but whatever. I guess 6 years old was a little too young for me to remember it. I did watch the teaser trailer on the special addition DVD of course. I'm just a ****e for this franchise, I even like watching the lesser films.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

It must've sucked for people in the 90's when the trailers for T2 gave away the fact that Arnie's the protector.

Would you've preferred the trailer make people think that both the T-800 and T-1000 are after John? How else would they really showcase the new improved badass T-1000 without giving away Arnold is the hero this time around?
