Arnold Is Back for Terminator 5

[uniqueweasel]

Yeah but the humour in judgement day was subtle, the humour in T3 is both stupid and unfunny. And as far as cgi effects go the end of T3, the battle damaged Arnie is ridiculous with a leg that looks tiny, and the half face effect is horrible, I have no idea why they couldn't of done it the same way as the make up used in previous movies. And the CGI Arnie didn't look too good admitedley but it's better than a terminator that is aging in appearance, like skynet are sending back terminators now that look old, ridiculous. Like I said before Salvation has many flaws, but the scale of the ones in T3 are massive. I understand the argument that T3 is a 'popcorn flick' but T2 is just that and does it much better T3 is just a lazy cash in, as in many ways Salvation was but at least it tried something different than the tired old template of the previous two.

I don't see what was bad about that. To someone who has no idea about Terminator movies, it will be "haha he looks goofy". For fans of Terminators it's a clear play on "I need your cloths, your boots and your motorcycle". The glasses was very little diffrent from alot of the peppered humor in Terminator 2. Terminator Salvation didn't have any humor from what I could see. A fairly joyless movie. It's main callback was a bad looking CGI Arnie.

I enjoyed the humour in T3 as well, dont see the problem with it at all, in fact it made the movie a bit more enjoyable.

The humor in T3 was dreadful.

I have just actually shed a tear reading that and realising we will never get it, that would have been amazing.

So sad Although I didn't mean to say it actually was going to have Cameron onboard with Winston and Bottin handling the effects and both Arnold and Weller back (no idea who was going to be involved or not), I was just saying I wish we could've gotten an RVT movie made back then in the 90s like that with all of them. Who knows if we could've though, perhaps if Cameron decided on it being his next big project instead of Titanic

James Cameron Talks T5 With Arnie

The director of the original Terminator reveals that he has been advising Arnold Schwarzeneggar on T5

James Cameron has been discussing the proposed fifth Terminator film, revealing that he has talked about the action-packed prospect with original star Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Speaking to MTV News, the director of parts one and two said, "I was talking to him back in fall about a new Terminator film and quietly advising him on that, I suppose you could say.

"I was trying to be as encouraging as possible. Frankly, at the time, I thought it needed to be more about him. I told him he should not do it until it's focussed on his character...I think there are some great stories that can be told about that character that haven't even been thought of yet."

Fast Five helmer Justin Lin was previously attached to helm the pic, but jumped ship to shoot The Fast and the Furious 6, leaving the film currently rudderless.

So would you like to see a T5 that focuses on the T-800? And is Arnie still capable of playing the part? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

James Cameron should forget Avatard and do the new Terminator film. Cameron is pretty much where he's at because of Terminator.

 

[Carnotaur3]

I really disagree with Cameron here.

 

[Nightmare]

So it shouldnt be about the leader and saviour of the human race? LOL!

sorry but this post doesnt make sense. every movie after T2 made a profit and was liked by the GP and critics. if Cameron would have 3 bombs after another he would go back to a new terminator movie.

 

[VictusMortuus]

I agree with Cameron about the plot focusing on the T-800. Start the flick with it being made, to it being captured by John Conner, to it being sent back in time to the events in T2. Or just have it set in the future and show the T-800's progression from mindless robot, to sympathetic robot that forms a bond with someone like T2.

 

[Sawyer]

Cameron believing the T-800 should be the focus over either of the Connors? People believing that Cameron should only revisit the franchise as a last resort, if his career turns to ****?

This board is just a big bowl of wrong today.

 

[:eek:]

It's funny. So many people complaining about Avatar not being original. At the same time it seems that just as many people wants to see Cameron do a Terminator 5. Not making much sense to me.

 

[Sawyer]

Who's say those are the same people?

 

[Thundercrack85]

Okay, really, a 64 year-old terminator? Or probably 66 by the time this gets going.

That's the problem with this franchise, it lives in the past.

Terminator 3 was bad enough by forcing Arnold's character into the plot. I've never seen a movie with so many plot holes, and I've had the misfortune of seeing all the Michael Bay Transformers movies.

 

[Clu]

terminator 3 was a solid action movie, pretty piss poor terminator movie.

arnold can be the old general that knows more about the terminators then anyone we have yet to see because they are modeled after him. it would be like the terminator 3 deleted scene, but in a serious method.

 

[LostSon88]

Exactly. He could very well be one of Connors top advisors and confidants.

It easily explains away the age and presents an opportunity for Arnold to play a prominent, non-terminator role. Which IMO would be quite original.

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

IMO, the franchise should end here unless they find a way to refresh it like StarTrek or Batman or make a spinoff like they did with The Sarah Connor's Chronicles but for the big screen.

1. the only reason Cameron wants the movie to focus on T800 is because Arnold is his friend and he wants a movie where he will be the main character.he of course thinks that Connor is more important. but since he will nto direct and since his friends wants a new movie he said T800. Cameron finished and its over. he spend 5 years crying alone. now he got over it.
2. and of course Cameron should only do a terminator movie if he has bombs. i look at Cameron as an artist first. i am also an artist. and the artist needs to make someting new. forward movement. going back to terminator is wrong. i am not this kind of fanboy who only thinks whats best for me. i also thinks whats best for the franchise and for the creator of the terminator universe. and its best for the terminator universe and Cameron that he doesnt direct a new terminator movie.

plus then we also have a problem that fanboys dont notice. directors and writters over 10-20 years change. they are older and they think different. you could see this with the SW prequels and with Indiana Jones 4. fanboys just dont get it. Lucas and Spielberg can not make the same movie. they changed as artist. so the movies are different. and it would be the same with a new Cameron terminator movie. he himself said that he is now a different person then in the 90's. look at Titanic and Avatar.

They did it with Cameron in Sarah Connor Chronicles.

I have no interest in seeing Arnold as a human. Exploring the origins doesn't usually work out well.

Plus, if it's a sequel to Salvation, the 101 already exists as a machine. And if it's not, they should just skip to 2029 anyway.

The only possibly way for Arnie to have an acceptable role in a new Terminator flick (IMO) is as the guy the T800 was based on, IMO.

If they try and have him playing a robot again, I doubt any audience will buy it. Arnie looks very different from the guy who first played a Terminator 27 years ago. I thought they were stretching their credibility when they brought him back for T3, never mind doing another one in the next few years. You cannot have a guy play an ageless robot while he ages 30yrs in real life. It may have worked (just) for T3, but that was mostly because Arnie kept himself in relatively good shape and they also worked some magic with makeup, effects and clothing. I doubt it would work now he's in his mid 60s.

I really wish they would stop flogging this dead horse. His name may have been a big draw back in the day, but he hasn't made a film for quite some time now and I don't think the success of any new Terminator film will hinge on whether or not Arnold is in it. The draw of the Terminator franchise was always the premise - Skynet, the terminators, armageddon.

 

[Bruce Malone]

Hopefully he will not be playing an actual terminator model. In T3 it was looking ridiculous already why they would send back such an old looking model.

Although part of me is thinking his yes men are going around telling him he's still looks young enough to pull it off...

I disagree, without Arnold this series has died. Because Arnold is too old and nobody seems to have any good ideas I think that the series should end. Terminator Salvation was bad enough, we don't need a worse movie than that one.

Huuuuge Terminator 1 and 2 fan, both are in my top 20 movies ever. But after the disaster that was T3 and the disappointment that was TS I don't feel like I have the energy to start hyping up for a Terminator movie again.

The sequels to T1 and T2 are just too far a drop in quality for my taste. They aren't the worst movies ever made but they are nowhere near as good as the first two so I just want the series to be over. Nobody seems to know what to do with the series. Salvation was an interesting idea but unfortunately the script was **** and personally I just think that Bale is the wrong actor to play John Carter, he should have been playing a Terminator.

Different directors and writers just do not understand what people liked about the first two so maybe they should just keep their hands off of it. I do expect a reboot of the entire series in 10 years time and I won't care too much because I will just ignore it.

 

[RetrogradeOrbit]

If Arnold tries to play the Terminator cyborg again, I think I will just put my head in my hands and cry...

I would have loved to have seen the Terminiator trilogy of books written by S. M. Stirling turned into a movie series. They were fantastic.
