Terminator: Salvation - The NEW new thread

[Doc Ock]

But what I'm saying is the T-800s in the first two films were never that agile and swift with how they moved, in contrast with the T-800 as seen in TS. And T2's T-800 made the jump down into the canal while he was still on the motorcycle.

Could the reason possibly be that the future has joined because of the meddling in the past? The T-800s may be more advanced because they learned of the past failures of the T-800s that were sent back in time.

 

[Punisher Rising]

That's a possibility, and it would be a part of the time travel paradox of the series. Just saying that from a chronological standpoint, it just seems inconsistant with the T-800s as they were seen in T1 and T2.

it has nothing to do with the story. it has to do with technology how they make movies now.

Hi,

Is true in a way but how the T-800 has been portrayed in T1 and T2 is now canon ( for me ). Like the small weakness to electronic devices that can scramble the terminator scanner ( T1 ).
Anyway, the "new" T-800 feats didn't bothered me that much in TS, I am an easy customer, at least it has Arnold face from T1 ( before the jaw surgery ).

Pacificor? Whaaaaaat? Well it wasn't Sony and thats good but still, whaaaaat?

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Wow, not sure what to think about this, are these even a movie studio?

 

[Ipodman]

never heard of it

Pacificor is the hedge fund from whom Anderson and Kubicek borrowed $30 million to acquire the Terminator rights in 2007. If the story Nikki Finke reported is true, then the auction was a ploy by Halcyon to convince Pacificor that they were serious about selling the rights and that there were serious bidders that were interested in acquiring them. It looks like Pacificor took the bait and made a deal with Halcyon. We'll see what the court decides regarding the bankruptcy later this week.

Lol @ Lionsgate's comments :
http://www.deadline.com/hollywood/

"We're going to fight one hell of a fight," a Lionsgate insider told me in advance. Its plans were for "a complete re-boot, back to basics, with real emotional stories, and effects that will be secondary.

Hahaha , effects will be secondary. When your biggest franchise is Saw , i can see why effects will be secondary. Why not just go on and say effects will be absent cause we ain't got no cash...

Ányway it'll be interesting to see what Pacificor will do with the franchise. They're a hedgefund for crying out loud. My guess is that they will go to studios and let them do all the work and simply ask for a percentage of the gross revenue. Similar to the deal that Marvel had with studios before they became a production company. Only difference is that the rights are with Pacificor.

Pacificor owning the franchise feels like a huge set up to me. In any case, I think we dodged a bullet with Lion's Gate. A reboot? Give me a break!

 

[hippie_hunter]

Yeah, I'm glad that Lions Gate didn't end up with the rights. But I would have liked to see Sony at it.

 

[Rac]

Reboot bullet dodged!

They wiped Halycon's debts. Hmm. They sounded dodgy to me

 

[Raiden]

Finally saw TS. Even with Bale and Worthington the movie wasn't that exciting to me, and the bleak future is not only bleak, but humorless. At least Cameron's Terminator movies have had some humor in midst of the violence and chaos. Even though the ending suggests possible sequels, I really don't think I'd want another one unless they can make it more interesting.

Wow, I don't know how to feel just now.



But in a way I'm soo glad Sony nor Lionsgate got the rights.

 

[Deaths Head II]

What exactly does this mean for the franchise?

 

[Nightmare]

Wow, this doesnt sound good at all

I figured that would happen.

Agreed.

Damn, if its going to Sony, then let it be so.

 

[Team Andino]

So what does this all mean for our Terminator franchise??

 

[Roy Batty]

I think Pacificor may be willing to hand over the movie rights to Sony or Lionsgate in exchange for a percentage of the earnings of any future movies. Basically, they'll want the same deal Halcyon got, but I wonder if Sony or Lionsgate will want to accomodate them.
