Damn! Ross stole Carno's account!
LoL, I at least don't try to claim I've met James Cameron and become pals with him.
Anyway, pitch... you're making me pitch something I haven't written a pitch for or even thought all the way through so I guess I'll just try to lay out my kind of vision for the fifth film.
We're in L.A. 2027. Connor is now the leader of the world wide resistance, soldiers who have found a light in their leader. A reason to live. Kyle Reese, long ago, dispatched away from Connor's sight so that Skynet could not trace his whereabouts. He is now a soldier under 132nd under Lt. Joel Perry, a small team in charge of protecting the L.A. sector and its inhabitants. The times are tough. The people are starving.
Connor sends word to Perry that they are flying in food and water soon. Naturally, they accept it. When Perry's team arrive at the rendezvous point they aren't greeted with supplies but hundreds of T-800 Terminators. It's a trap! Skynet's found Kyle.
Kyle and a few men barely make it out alive when Connor's men find them huddled under rubble. Kyle is flown off to Crystal Peak because Connor has requested his presence. Kyle is nervous. He's built up this image of him that he hopes isn't shattered. When he arrives, Connor asks for the guards to leave the room. He's briefed on a Skynet project. The TDE, Time Displacement Equipment. Because Kyle is one of the best computer language readers in the Resistance, he's offered an important role into Connor's Tech-Com force. In reality, Connor's real agenda is to keep Kyle within reach, in case Skynet finds him, and to fulfill the prophecy passed down to him from his mother: Kyle Reese will be sent into the past to protect Sarah Connor and to birth John himself.
Skynet is currently shipping the TDE to a unknown location. The mission: find the secret compound and retrieve schematics of the machine. A quick in and out. This does not sit well with the men in Connor's team. In fact, the question of where Connor's loyalties lie begin to form. Kyle's fighting the negative back talk. After all, the man saved his life and inspired millions of refugees to fight.
Of course the picture comes into play to calm the waters for Kyle. But Connor has no time to connect to Kyle. He has no time to connect to anybody else because the relationships are straining his ability to lead.
Connor eventually settles to allow Kyle the opportunity to lead Connor's men into the lion's den where they have located the TDE. But after achieving the schematics and heading back to base, dozens upon dozens of H-Ks and hundreds of Terminators are on their trail without their knowledge. Connor, at HQ, finds out in time, and calls it into Kyle before loosing communication.
In the end, Kyle and his team are on their own. Out in the open of the cold wilderness, where the only chance of survival is to last for a few days for help to arrive. And Kyle knows deep down that sitting like ducks is what will get them killed. They have no choice but to stand up and fight.
Just an idea I have brewing. It is what it is at the moment.
I wanna see a script from you!
