Terminator: Genisys - Part 8

[Schlosser85]

Oh for the love of God, let this franchise die.

By all rights it should have ended in 1991, everything since has felt like increasingly bad fanfiction.

And if you idiots are so devoid of ideas that you're resorting to focus groups to give you ideas, throw in the towel and move on to something else.

 

[Elevator Man]

In a perfect world the feedback from every participating focus group would be to quit making anymore terminator movies for the foreseeable future. But this isn't a perfect world.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

Either let Cameron do his T3 (I like the third film), or just stop. 1/2 are great, and 3 wasn't bad. 4 was ass, and 5 looked like a joke.

I hope you're part of the focus group. You speak the truth.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

People wanting Cameron to do another movie don't get your hopes up, he has said numerous times he has said what he wanted to say in this universe and is not interested in going back to it.

 

[titansupes]

^ He did once say a few months ago that he's thought "It might be fun to go back and just completely reinvent it" but he was concerned audiences would be all Terminated out by the time the T:G "trilogy" is done...

So, I used to be 100% certain this franchise was done once Cameron gets the rights back... Now I think it's 99.5% certain.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

If they must torture us with another Terminator, can they please not make obviously bad decisions like hiring bland hacks like Alan Taylor and choosing Emilia Clarke over Brie Larson for any role, ever?

And no I still haven't see the film because I wasn't going to fund their garbage cash grab in theaters. I'll get it for free at the library.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Hire a director like Doug Liman and people will pay attention, I think he would be awesome for a Terminator movie.

I can't see Cameron doing anything with it personally, he is too into his Avatar sequels at the moment.

The Skydance spokesperson spoke of a Terminator universe, so they should prove it by focusing on a new set of characters to justify hiring new actors.

Doug Liman isn't suddenly going to make Terminator viable again.

 

[DyeLorean]

The franchise is too tainted by now. That's the truth.

Ive been saying something like this.

Everyone always says how only Cameron can do Terminator but I always thought that line of thinking was kinda stupid. There are so many great directors who could make good Terminator films. I also think the story is still there-

The franchise is too tainted by now. That's the truth.

But also this.
Even with a good director I feel theyve had too many chances. 3 strikes your out. It's not even like people really want another Terminator movie.

None of those great directors have any interest in making a Terminator film.

 

[Lord]

They should try offering the possibility of making a Terminator film to some criticaly acclaimed filmmakers, go outside the box and try people around Europe and Asia, they might actualy find someone interested in taking their career into a larger scale. The Twilight films even got an academy award winner, so even though most will probably refuse this film, there's still going to be someone who will not. The result could easily be a mess too, but it would be more ineteresting than for them to simply find some studio puppets to continue the plot they started in Genisys.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Doug Liman isn't suddenly going to make Terminator viable again.

He will at the very least make a good movie though, that's a step on the way to being viable again.

I too think there are directors out there who could make a good Terminator movie, but for some reason they keep offering the movies to average directors, in turn we get average at best movies.

Focus on getting a writing team to write a cohesive and confined story first to make it appealing to such a director.

 

[MadVillainy]

That's just silly.

 

[Jay Beezy]

That's just silly.

It's also potentially true.

 

[MadVillainy]

So what you 2 guys are saying none of the talented guys in Hollywood want to make or would be open to make a Terminator film ever...

I think that there is no way to know that for sure. So sure I guess it is "potentially true" but then again it potentially is not. I think it's a silly point to make

 

[Alien Anal]

As much as I hate all the non Cameron films and are of seeing ****** sequels I still really want a quality 3rd and final movie. I don't think Cameron necessarily needs to be the director as there is plenty of talented people out there.

Combine Fury Road with the future war scenes of T1-T2 and Im there.

 

[DyeLorean]

Cameron is the only one that could make me interested in seeing another Terminator film again. I think they've tried enough different things and none of them completely stuck.

 

[moviedoors]

If I could personally choose a director, it'd be John Hyams. He's got action chops, a focused sense of tone, and a real cinematic voice with interesting things to say, and he would bring back the dark, mean edge that this series has been missing for far too long.

 

[ThePhantasm]

T3 didn't get the tone right,
T4 was a bore,
T5 was overcomplicated.

A Terminator movie shouldn't be this hard to make. But when you only care about the money and not about getting the story right, this bull**** happens.

Fixed.

It really shouldn't be as hard as they are making it out to be but at the same time i guess that's what makes the originals so good. Something of such high quality shouldn't be able to be reproduced so easily

 

[MadVillainy]

As I said I think the potential is there but they've had enough tries.
