Emilia Clark as Sarah Connor – please! In Game of Thrones she delivers a great performance in a role with a similar transformation to the original Sarah Connor.

The Upcoming Terminator Reboot Plans Television Series Tie-in

The action franchise heading back the big screen in 2015, Skydance Productions and Annapurna Pictures are now looking at bringing Terminator to television as well. The Hollywood Reporter today brings word that a new series is in development that will tie into the Alan Taylor film. Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz, the pair behind X-Men: First Class and Thor, will provide the script for the pilot.

The franchise was previously brought to television as "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" (which also featured script work by Miller and Stentz). The new series is said to split from the timeline of James Cameron's 1984 original in a way that will allow it to connect back to the upcoming big screen reboot.

Megan Ellison of Annapurna and David Ellison of Skydance will produce the series alongside Dana Goldberg and Marcy Ross. Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier will serve as executive producers.

This confirms that its loosely connected to the original film, but now in a tangent timeline ala JJ's Star Trek.

 

[747]

The JJ Star Trek way – is the way to go.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

I like this idea very much, sounds good to me.

 

[marvelrobbins]

No they are better off just doing reboot and casting a new terminator.

If they aren't going to ahear to any contunity of the films even the first 2 films just call it a reboot instead of the timeline crap.

Into darkness killed any enthusim for more trek In so called "Alternate timeline"

Just reboot it straight away and stop these half ass attempts to fool fans of originals that original has any relvence to new film and TV show

 

[Octoberist]

I love JJ but yeah 'Into Darkness' was a bit a misfire. Though it's not a terrible movie either. It was well directed but the script sucked despite all that time that went into it. It's not the problem of an alt timelines; it's the script and what you do with it.

 

[747]

Writer Zack Stentz pretty much confirmed the TV-show thing with a smiley on twitter.

Despite only disappointing things after T2; I guess I will never stop being interested in all things Terminator. I just love the world and concept, though mainly the first two films, too much.

 

[Octoberist]

Let's give it a chance. Though I gave them 2 already.

 

[Kane52630]

I've always said each of these movies is its own timeline. Even T1 and T2, nice to see they are taking this approach.

 

[MrMaooz]

All this talk makes me want to watch T1 and T2 again.

 

[marvelrobbins]

The reboot may be changing the lore.

Arnold Is suspose to be a terminator sent back In time to protect Sarah Connor as she is growing up.If Kyle reese Is in film that opens up possibilty he doesn't come from future but Is love Intrest for Sarah In Present.

 

[Octoberist]

You guys think they'll deage Arnold?

I think we've gotten to the point where's possible to make deage CG work without the 'halo' glow.

 

[Kane52630]

If they get the same crew who worked on Jeff Bridges deaging, it could work. I thought it really worked for the majority of the time except of course the opening scene.

 

[Octoberist]

Yeah the opening scene, he looked bad. They should've not linger so much on his face so much. Just quick glances.

I think technology for sort of stuff has gotten better though.

edit: wrong thread

Says you.

 

[Teelie]

I assumed it would be some kind of alternate, alternate universe in the Terminator timeline but from the first one only? I think if they could they should branch from Terminator 2 instead and ignore the other sequels. But then they seem dedicated to redoing the Sarah Connor/Kyle Reese romance so it makes sense there won't be a teenage or older John Connor running around. Barring his future incarnation who sends Kyle back in the first place of course.

 

[Terminator]

Zack Stentz and Ashley Miller also wrote episodes of Sarah Connor Chronicles.

 

[Sawyer]

Yep. And their first episode was the Derek Reese flashbacks to the future time period.

 

[marvelrobbins]

Says you.

Says a lot of long time Star Trek fans too.

Arnold's terminator IS suspose to be one protecting sarah Connor.

Let's be honest we all know this will take place In present except for any future
scenes of the war.Kyle reese may not be from future at all If arnold Is indeed the protector and not one sent back to kill Sarah.

Well that's better then a sequel then. I'm glad they are at least rebooting it in a sense. We should really change this title to just "Terminator".

According to production weekly the working title for the new film is Terminator: Genesis

Jason Clarke In Talks To Play John Connor In ‘Terminator’ Reboot

The Terminator reboot is getting more interesting by the minute. Jason Clarke, so good in Zero Dark Thirty, is in early talks to play the role of John Connor, the leader of the rebellion against the Skynet artificial intelligence system bent on wiping out the human race. This comes as Game Of Thrones star Emilia Clarke emerges as the frontrunner to play Sarah Connor (with Brie Larson also in the mix) for Thor: The Dark World helmer Alan Taylor. Arnold Schwarzenegger is also expected to reprise his signature cyborg role in a film that involves time travel into the future.

Terminator: Genesis is being spearheaded by Skydance Productions’ David Ellison, who is teamed with Megan Ellison’s Annapurna in the effort. Paramount has signed on to distribute, and has set a July 1, 2015 release date. Annapurna purchased the rights for over $20 million and the expectation is that they will be able to make at least two films before certain copyrights revert back to the property’s creator, James Cameron. Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier wrote the script.

Clarke most recently starred in The Great Gatsby and White House Down, and he is part of the ensemble assembled for Everest, the Baltasar Kormakur-directed fact-based film that also stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Brolin and John Hawkes and is being mounted by Working Title and Cross Creek. Clarke also stars in the upcoming Fox sequel Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, and Child 44. He’s repped by CAA and RGM Artists.

[StarLord]
