the new TLOU looks pretty good amirite

 

[Busty]

As far as I know, he's playing the same T-800.

Didn't Arnold say that the logic behind the decision was that the flesh covering the machine ages?

That rings a bell actually. You might very well be right.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

God, please stop trying to make Jai Courtney happen.

 

[Chamber]

I have a real hard time seeing ole Eyebrows there as Sarah Connor. She looks like a child in those pics.

EDIT - There's a T-1000 in this movie? Count me in.

 

[Sectorseven]

It's almost as if she's standing six feet away from the other guy and the perspective is all fucked up.

Presumably they will try and 'shoot round this' to make it less of an issue in the final film.

Have her stand on a box or something. It's distracting.

 

[Plasticine]

If the flesh could decay we'd be one step away from Zombie Terminators.

I would love Zombie Terminators.

 

[Ben Morales]

I'm so confused right now, but definitely intrigued. Is there some time jumping going on? Is this when Sarah was in the mental home? Is Kyle trying to course correct? Emilia is a dead ringer for young Linda Hamilton though. I'm digging that.

 

[Daft_Cat]

I think the plot is they send Arnold back in time but it messes up so he has to wait 60 - 80 years before his mission starts, hence the ageing explanation. That's the impression I get anyway.

I was assuming it was just an old T-800 being sent back from further in the future. Meh. Your approach sounds more interesting, haha.

Either way, it's just a quasi decent excuse to get Arnold back without taking a CG approach.

 

[jett]

I don't know who that is but that is not Sarah Connor.

 

[Wreck-It Ralph]

This happened in an episode of TSCC. Except the Terminator didn't age.

 

[The Horror the horror]

Is there any particular reason why Arnold has to be permanently attached to the Terminator lore? Use someone else until CGI becomes so advanced that it'd be able to create a realistic young Arnold.

 

[Tesseract]

nope to both of those actors, yep to arnold even dough he's getting older than the dead sperm in my empty balls.

 

[The Smoking Bun]

Looking the pictures, would much prefer a Last Of Us movie with the same cast
Also, I see after Tyrion's stint with robotics tech in X-MEN: DOFP, the Khaleesi, Mother Of Dragons, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Mhysa, Danerys Stormborn will be doing the same and seeking out robots for help.

 

[m_shortpants]

Emilia Clarke is a bad actress.

 

[Dick Justice]

Arnold's hairpiece is looking good. But seriously, he does seem to be in much better shape nowadays than a few years back.

Also, I see they couldn't get Sam Worthington in time, so they got that guy from the shitty Die Hard film to fill the role of utterly bland and generic dude. At least Michael Biehn had a distinct look.

 

[inky]

Emilia Clarke is a bad actress.

Ya, she's terrible (at least in GoT) but everyone loves her so it doesn't matter.

 

[120v]

still not sold on the aging flesh bit

 

[Cagey]

Is there any particular reason why Arnold has to be permanently attached to the Terminator lore? Use someone else until CGI becomes so advanced that it'd be able to create a realistic young Arnold.

Because Arnold is the Terminator franchise to the vast majority of movie-goers.

 

[Jarmel]

Jai Courtney looks absolutely fucking awful just from this screenshot.

 

[Warm Machine]

This looks like a porn from these pics.

 

[liquidtmd]

Jai Courtney looks absolutely fucking awful just from this screenshot.

People defend him in Die hard 5 and say the movie had plenty of other problems.

It did, but his blandness was one of them.

 

[Raistlin]

Someone might know more than me, but unless Sarah is also time leaping, wouldn't it have to be in the 80's?

That would be my assumption. Obviously this can't be anywhere near T2 era.


Given it's called Genesis, and Kyle Reese is a character ... is this a reboot of their first encounter?

 

[Sectorseven]

Jai Courtney looks absolutely fucking awful just from this screenshot.

Kyle Reese was supposed to look physically inferior to the Terminator, not be his equal.

 

[thenexus6]

I hope this is good, I worked a tiny tiny bit on Thor: The Dark World, nothing really worth mentioning but I was on set for two days and was around Alan Taylor during takes. He seemed like a cool guy! Hope this goes well!

 

[Bobby Roberts]

These photos look like they're rehearsing for a free "Terminator in the Park" outdoor theater series.

 

[liquidtmd]

This looks like a porn from these pics.

"Cum with me if you want to live"

 

[Sectorseven]

There were rumors this was going to be like an alternate timeline reboot thing. Ugh.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Is this going to be exclusive to Sega CD? Or will there be a higher-res port for 3DO?

Spoiler

Where are my dragons good future war Terminator movies?

 

[Raistlin]

There were rumors this was going to be like an alternate timeline reboot thing. Ugh.

Makes sense


That's the good (or possibly bad) thing about the Terminator universe. There can be any number of new stories/timelines generated if people or terminators are sent back to a different time and location.

 

[Grifter]

I wish Kyle Reese was the doctor from Penny Dreadful.

 

[CadetMahoney]

Who else thought from reading the title was some Sega Genesis game flashback.

 

[zoukka]

Reese is more buff than Arnold.

They failed the casting.

 

[Warm Machine]

"Cum with me if you want to live"

Bravo.

 

[SweetDonuts]

I have no idea who those actors are but they don't look right. Arnold's inclusion should make it good though..

 

[quickwhips]

So this guy gets to ruin Die Hard and Terminator for me?

 

[Hot Coldman]

The dude in the suit, that's not Matt Smith is it?

 

[Tesseract]

Reese is more buff than Arnold.

They failed the casting.

arnold is jacked, reese doesn't come close.

 

[quickwhips]

Reese is more buff than Arnold.

They failed the casting.

Aaron Paul would have been a better pick for this and Die Hard.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Wait how is Sarah Connor younger than John Connor?

Time Travel

 

[JDSN]

Varro must be blowing half of Hollywood to still getting roles in this kind of movies despite him being so shitty.

 

[Killing_Joke]

Surprised by most of the positivity. The pics look horrible. lol

 

[dreamcastfan]

There are much older images from Terminator : Genesis

Sorry, couldn't resist. That being said, I am cautiously optimistic.

 

[Schattenjäger]

Can't be worse than Rise of the Machines

 

[PairOfFilthySocks]

Oh for fuck's sake. Did not know they were making another Terminator film. Did not need to know. This particular teat is as cold and lifeless as...nah, too easy. This will be shit. The end.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Good to see Arnold came back to the Terminator franchise. Wasn't sure if he'd be back for it.

 

[liquidtmd]

Can't be worse than Rise of the Machines

I thought Salvation was far worse. For all its problems, ROTM wasn't pretentious in the slightest - it knew it didn't have the gravitas to elevate it T1 or T2. Viewed as a fun (expensive) B-Movie romp, Arnie smashing up LA going after the truck at the start, the bombs falling and hell even the maybe wonky attempts at humour - without a Cameron at the helm, we're just going to get poe faced attempts to make this run and run over three more movies that will just go over old ground.

 

[JB1981]

Are these official studio pics from the set?

ROTM would have been so much better without the crappy evil terminator and without the shitty dialogue written for Arnold. Also, the lack of Terminator was depressing.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Because they tried to make a Terminator movie without Arnold as a star and failed, so dumb Hollywood execs concluded that you need Arnold.

Personally I think the universe is compelling enough to stand on its own with new actors, all you would need is talented filmmakers to reboot it properly.

Genesis could be good though. Too early to tell.

 

[Jado]

I thought it was Dane Cook in the second picture

I thought it was Brody from Homeland.

And Emilia Clarke looks horribly unconvincing as Sarah Connor. Fucking Christ. =/

This:

Versus this:

Just can't buy into it. We've seen almost four years of her acting on GoT; she's kinda terrible, has an unintentionally dead/empty expression all the time and has no acting range. Plus, yeah she looks like a round-faced kid most of the time. She looks ridiculous during "serious acting mode" when surrounded by superior actors in every scene.
