Terminator Reboot Set For 2015
Paramount Sets ‘Terminator’ Relaunch For June 26, 2015
Paramount has confirmed the long in the works deal to cofinance and distribute the reboot of James Cameron’s Terminator franchise creation. Highbrow picture maker Megan Ellison spent over $20 million for the rights in 2011, and the project didn’t go very far. Things finally started percolating when Megan Ellison and her Annapurna Pictures joined forces with brother David Ellison, whose Skydance Productions has a deal with Paramount and makes popcorn movies. Avatar’s Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier have been working on the script for months. Arnold Schwarzenegger returns as the title character and the hope is to get at least two movies done before North American copyright reverts back to Cameron, who might want a fortune or might want to retire the franchise. Here’s the announcement: Quote:

Does any movie these days get green lighted to production unless it has a chance to make a BILLION $'s?

There are tons of smaller films going into production each day. It's just that those films don't have the budget for press and probably wouldn't be interesting to people that don't seek out smaller films. |

I think that's been part of the key to his success and somewhat early failures, I believe he's picked roles that he loved. With the talent he has, if he loves the role eventually he's going to get the award. I remember when I first heard about the remake of Willy Wonka I was disappointed until I heard that Depp was going to be Wonka. He's one of the very few actors who could capture that same quirkiness that Gene Wilder projected in that role. One remake that could be absolutely hilarious with him if there's the right team would be Depp in a Young Frankenstein remake. Done well it would be a riot. The question is if it would make enough money to be green lit(and if brooks and wilder would do a modern remake).

I ****ing hated it they shat on Cameron's time travel rules which ruined it for me. Summer Glau couldn't mimic voices like the T-800, and she was supposedly a more advanced model.

I still think T2 is one of the best action flicks ever.
T3 was pretty meh, whatevskis. Worth a watch but I haven't seen it in about 6 years and don't have any desire to. I actually went back and watched The Terminator after I had seen 2 and 3 and thought it was pretty good despite its age. The latest Terminator with Bale and Worthington was pretty good as well. The action scenes were fantastic, it was cool to finally see the post-apocalyptic world Sarah Connor was warning us about, and, of course, the Arnie nod was pretty cool too. .... I'll watch this one. |

I've forgotten though, what was Skynet's ultimate goal? Just to destroy all humans?
I only remember it "became self-aware" and just started launching nukes everywhere. |

Yes, because we are danger to ourselves, and thus in the machines mind it's better to end the suffering.
