WB Splits TERMINATOR Rights with Sony

Awesome,,,,,this is going to be great....I know there alot of McG haters on here, and I can guess I can see why. The guy has made 3 movies. Two were really good, one was toooo much. I am more than willing to give him a chance. I love the first Charlies' Angels and We Are Marshall, thus proving, he can blend drama and action, which is needed for the Terminator series. He must have wowed someone at WB with some cool ideas to get the gig, so I will give the benifet of the doubt.

Don't forget, he's an exec producer on Supernatural, too. He'll always get props from me for that. Oh, on Chuck, too. Never saw Marshall, but the 1st Charlie's Angels was great. 2nd one was over the top. I'll reserve judgment until I see some finished product on this, but the fact that Bale is attached gives me hope.

I wonder if Paramount will move Star Trek's date again in response to this move. Trek will have 2 weeks to bring in a decent amount at the box office before Terminator wipes out the competition.

I still contend McG is flat out WRONG for the film, despite having loved We Are Marshall. I really don't want the film to be filled with sparks flying everywhere and people jumping around in super-slow motion. The action has to be big, yes, but not in the vein of a music video. I would have loved Ridley Scott to make this film, but I realize his plate is far too filled to take on a project of this magnitude. Hell, I would have more faith if Roland Emmerich made this than McG.

First of all I need to say that I'm a HUGE fan of this mythos that Cameron created and WILL see this in theatres.
When I heard that a third movie was going to be made I almost crapped myself and peed a little with excitment. Then I heard that Cameron wasn't going to be a part of it but the studio was going to go forward without him and I was pissed. Then I heard that Arnold wasn't going to be a part of the project if Cameron wasn't and I was happy again, thinking that the project would cumble. Then I heard that Arnold changed his mind, because the money was right, and I was out protesting the making of the sequel. But my buddies and I went to the movies to see something and wanted to hop into #3 and I figured since I wasn't paying for it I would see it. I am one of those people that admits when he's wrong and I will go on record saying that I enjoyed it. The part where the T-850 reboots and adjusts his torn head bugged me because it was too CGI, but other than that I liked the direction it took and I was satisfied with it. It proved to me that it could be done without Cameron. So I'm keeping an open mind with this one, even though McG is not my first pick (actually he wasn't even on my list), but he could surprise us all. I am excited to hear that Cameron has taken some interest in this and throwing some advice into the project. I aslo like Bale and think he'll be a really good Connor. I've liked everything he's been in and think that he can do justice to the character that has been building up for decades. I'm really hoping that these next three sequels will close the loop. Though I'm not sure where it should close.
Question: Is the tv series going to effect the sequels? Because we've already seen a lot of flashforwards showing us some of the gaps created by the first movie.

It's not going to be Cameron's terminator anyway, so who cares who's directing it...

I wonder what Cameron must think of the total appropriation of his ideas by others? While I find the tv series on Fox interesting, I feel a twinge of guilt when I think that Cameron might be pulling his hair out in frustration over how his baby is now wholly out of his control.

T3 had bits that were entertaining, but they were basically things that referenced the best parts of the first two movies. The utterly downer ending, the female Terminator and Claire Danes were elements that just didn't work on screen however they looked in the script.

Someplace I remember hearing Cameron gave Arnold his blessing to do T3 as I recall because the studio was going to do it anyway so basically go ahead and reap the money and get paid. I got the idea that Cameron was pretty pragmatic that it was long out of his control which is really sad.

It also never fails to fascinate me how someone can make such a hit as Cameron did and then have the money guys shoot themselves in the feet grandstanding to take control from the guy who originated the ideas and made them a surefire hit in the first place.

And it's further ironic that the theme of the movies is that humans are so foolish that we get our asses kicked by automaton robots. Much like how we ordinarily let bureaucrats and functionaries out-maneuver us and steal power from us and lead us to destruction.

"We're not gonna make it, are we? People, I mean."
"It's in your nature to destroy yourselves."
"Yeah. Major drag, huh?"

CRAP are we onna get SPIDERNATOR now?


With great technology come great power?

Are the terminators gonna have purple stocking hats left over from SPIDERPIG 1 that were not used for Grenn Gobbstopper?

And I think Cameron screwed himself when he cheated on Linda Hamilton with Suzy Amis I believe. Next time keep it in your pants.

As much as I loved all of the terminator movies, I think the premise is a little tired. We need a startling new twist to the original idea to keep this ship afloat, something that's as thought provoking and as relevant as the original idea. The first three were about the physical survival of the human species. Perhaps the next three can be about why we should survive. There doesn't seem to be much evidence of that recently.

We need to survive because our bodies are nothing but bags of fertilizer and food for the earth. When we quit feeding the earth the bag that the food comes in gives the earth the final lick of the beaters. I wonder how the earth feeds on metal? It will still probably be 1,000 years before earth becomes a star from the core being exposed after exploding through the core like a butterfly leavin a cocoon.
