Terminator reboot number 2, or is it 3?

I've lost count, but there is to be another.. surprise surprise.

After Cameron gets the rights back in 2019, he is planning a reboot and he wants Tim Miller (Deadpool) to direct.

They (Hollywood) are going to keep doing this (endless sequels and reboots), so if anyone is going to have creative control of the Terminator franchise, Cameron is the man. Got to be better than a sequel to that pile of rubbish that was Genisys.

Its easier to constantly remake old material than come up with something new and original.

firstly, it'd be a novelty for cameron to rehash/rip off his own work rather than someone else's.
secondly, he gets the rights in 2019, so it'll be at least 2 yers later before the film comes out - 4 years off, WGAF? if there's not a trailer it's not of interest.

At the rate he works at it'll be 20 to 30 years before we see another film

Genisys had some decent ideas but they ultimately ruined any surprise the movie had by unveiling the John Connor transformation in one of the numerous trailers.

I just don't get whats so hard about setting a movie entirely in the future war as it was shown in Genisys and previous terminator movies. Its the one movie that always gets alluded to but never made, so why not finally make that instead of throwing t1 and t2 into a blender and seeing what mish mash of the 2 comes dripping out when the cycle is done?

Salvation made a half assed effort at showing the early days of that war but it was so far removed from being what was shown in flashbacks from the previous movies that it didn't really engage with anyone. That and the fact it barely had any actual Terminators in it, i think the most that movie had in any one scene was 2 and that was near the end with the T600 and the T800. Given this was the early days of the war you'd expect there to be a load of them. Not to mention the T800 got its hands on John Connor a few times in the movie and instead of pulling his head out of his arse it decided to throw him around instead... :rolleyes:

/agree

Loved T1, and T2 even more. T3 onwards didn't inspire me as much

Finally!

No one but James Cameron should have made the sequels to T1 and T2 as was painfully evident by the attempts after. No doubt influenced by Ridley to take back creative control of a sci-fi story made classic by their vision.

well the first one was more Harlan's vision than cameron's and the 2nd one was no vision, he just threw out some/most of the major rules he'd set up in the first "vision" so he could make more money and do some cool CGI effects.

Terminator has been crap since 2, so hopefully this will turn out good but i'm less than optimistic.
