Not sure what the point of hiring Tim Miller would be if they weren't going for an R rating. Him and Ryan Reynolds fought hard for an R rated Deadpool and it almost never even got made until someone (probably Ryan or Tim themselves) leaked the test footage. This is a much easier fight.

Cameron may not be writing the script, but he'll for sure take credit for "fixing" Hollywood's gender problem.

Arnold is too old to be taken seriously. The last few films completely wrecked the franchise. This will suck, Jim Cameron or not.
Ted Furlong would be cool though!

Lmao omg
I wonder how they approach John Connor in here. He could be a burn out maybe if they happened to delay judgement day and he lets his guard down?
Or maybe this movie goes the future war route like terminator salvation
I could see JGL or Boyd Holbrook playing pretty good John Connors to kind of riff off of furlong
This is excellent. For me, TSCC is true continuation to Terminator 2. Also noticed that Friedman is involved in Avatar sequel as a writer so Cameron knew him already.

I'm interested to see what Arnold's role in this is. An old terminator is dumb and a him playing the guy who the terminator model in based on is dumb too. Maybe they'll deage him like they did Kurt Russell in GOTG2.

Arnie prosthetic face looks like Scott Glenn in The Keep.
Holy shit! It's rare that I see people familiar with the keep! Great book and movie!
And it really does look like Scott Glenn lol

She does, and so does Connie Nielsen (52).
And Linda won't be here.

That's what the execs bank on. I'm the same.
I had this attitude until it dawned on me there's more terrible Alien, Terminator and Predator films than there are good ones.
When the ratio is that skewed, I think scepticism is appropriate.
The one problem with the ending was that they got cancelled!
But yeah, awesome show and definitely the only Terminator thing worth a damn after T2.
I hope Arnold stays far away from this. We don't need him for it to be Terminator.

It's sad how unexcited I now am by anything new from the Terminator franchise. It feels done. There's no more juice in the lemon.

Eh...I guess I'm ok with Hamilton, but for the love of God, leave Arnold out of it.

that's an old pic. she's lost weight since then
and despite his earlier stupidity, Cameron does have a point that older women don't really get action parts and he's intentionally casting Linda partly because he now wants to see an older woman have an action hero role - so it looks like he actually listened to what others said about his Wonder Woman remarks.
I mean, kinda notice how even the T-800 has had aging retconned into the story, we've seen old John, but somehow Sarah is always been a young character? (and the alternate T2 Senator John ending doesn't count) Yeah.
It's sad for the franchises of Alien, Predator and Terminator on what they have become.
How is this gonna work anyway? I know some time travel magic can 'fix' it,but i just don't see it.
She's dead before T3 and she's too old if T6 is another prequel,unless the throw some offscreen story about how they went to back to the past and cured his cancer or some shit.
Oh,i see.
Thanks.

T3, Salvation, and Genisys will be ignored.

Linda Hamilton never had the rights, Cameron actually sold his rights back in 83 to Hemdale/Orion to ensure he got to direct The Terminator. Gale Ann Hurd who was the co-owner of the rights kept hers. Once Hemdale collapses, their share of the rights are acquired by Mario Kassar and Andrew Vajna at Carolco. Carolco and Gale Ann Hurd cut a deal to make Terminator 2. She and Arnold talk Carolco into giving Cameron total creative control and at the time unheard of budget to make the movie he wants. Afterwards Carolco who despite having some huge hits are really bad at the accounting thing go under thanks to the stupid decision to let Geena Davis and Renny Harlin make their stupid Pirate movie. Carolco share of Terminator rights go back on the market as part of the Liquidation of Carolco's assets. Cameron and Hurd hatch a plan to buy back the Carolco rights and sit on them until Cameron decides he wants to do T3. At the last moment of the sale of the rights Kassar and Vajna with new investors form C3 and with Warner backing them reacquire the rights. C3 then offers Hurd a crazy offer to acquire her share of the rights, she takes it and we get the T3 and Salvation shitstorm and then Gensys. In 2019 through ip law, Cameron and I imagine Gale Ann Hurd too get the rights back.

About half this thread (if not more. Probably more) is just people mocking the appearance of Edward Furlong, so I'm not surprised someone got around to mocking the appearance of Linda Hamilton, too.
Have Sarah Connor old and sick like Xavier in Logan, with a near obsolete Terminator nursing her. Just have the two of them leaving in the mountains, just old people talks, fishing, hunting... then Sarah breaks her hip and Arnold tries to bring her on a really nice place so she can see her last sunrise. When they finally make it (Revenant style, Arnold crawling after a bear fight with Sarah on his back), instead of the sunrise, it's just an atomic explosion in the distance.

Meh, they are too old to get awkward.
I always know one day Sigourney Weaver will return and do one more Alien movie. I am glad Hamilton can do it too.

Pretty excited about the new predator actually. Aside from the fact that shane black just had to shoehorn another damn kid into his movie it sounds like it could be a really good time.
Alien and Terminator have definitely gone to shit though. But in aliens case at least you get some entertainment out of the wreckage with Fassbender hamming it up as dr Frankenstein. Ridley seems intent on running it into the ground tho so i don't really see that franchise fixing anytime soon
Maybe terminator will end up ok though? We'll see. I like that they might be making an effort to give us a decent sequel to 2.
Welp. I've resigned myself to the fact we're never getting another decent Terminator movie.

Yeah, too many writers.
I really hope this is good, and I hope this is a send off for the franchise as a whole.
While I personally think Terminator should have ended with T2, theres no denying that the IP itself does have the strength to tell more stories within that universe. I loved The Sarah Connor Chronicles (though I never got to finish it).
Hamilton coming back has me thinking this may be a swan song for that character and era of Terminator. If they want to continue it, they need to go in a vastly different direction.

Ive always felt like Sarah was this long lost warrior/myth by the time Kyle Reese was holding into her photo in the future. I guess T2 changes that future, but not sure what I would have in store for Sarah Connor narratively that far down the line. Feels like she did everything.
Still yet to have someone nail John Connor, sans T2's opening.

I wonder if Skynet had some humans on their side. As ridiculous as T3 is, you can't imagine Skynet getting anywhere without human assistance to a much later point. They'll probably retcon T3 and have humans developing advanced cyborgs.
