Variety reports that Lena Headey will be playing Sarah Connor.

I dunno, Marvin has the salad-bar. I didn't see a salad-bar in your's Bio.

Yeah, but I don't see the sneeze-guard on this salad bar.

Whats a little snot between friends?

[DoctorWHO]

Still do not care to see this....really, do we need a terminator tv series?? Hell no.

[Mwynn]

Nope yet since T3 was a bomb, they need something to jump start T4.

[Mwynn]

Thomas Dekker has been cast as John Connor.

[Buckyrig]

I liked T3.


More than T2 actually. Don't hit me. :cry:

Get out.

GET OUT!!!

[Justice41]

It's snotthing!!

[Paul Sanderson]

T3 wasn't a bomb. Not as good as 1 or 2, nor as successful as 2, but certainly not a bomb.

That being said, I'm not particularly interested in this new TV series.

[Mwynn]

T3 made 150 million. It cost atleast 200 million.

T2 made 200 million and cost 104 million.

T3 was a bomb.

[Paul Sanderson]

T3 made $433.37 million worldwide, while it cost $200 million. That's not a bomb!

[Mwynn]

Not going back down that path again, so I will say sure and move on.

[Paul Sanderson]

Those figures are on Box Office Mojo, I just checked. Sorry bub.

[Mwynn]

Try playing Hollywood Mogul 3, it is a pretty good model. You will see what happens to those none Domestic numbers.

[Justice41]

Foreign revenue does not matter one lick.

[bezelleo]

Wow, it's come down to a thread being "better" now for Mwynn to shut you down and continue his dictatorship of the Movie and TV section.

What's next? "Mine had quotation marks in it and yours didn't?"
Mine smelled better?

Why do I get the feeling Onslaught is coming?

[bezelleo]

If foreign revenues don't matter, then why count them at all?

"25 million in Japan? Eh... keep it. Not gonna do a lick of good to us."

I tell ya... sometimes... you guys...

ugh... forget it.

[Justice41]

The display and distribution rights are sold ahead of time. So the foreign revenue goes into those hands not the studios. It's like selling a comic. Think of the process and apply it to movies being distributed overseas..

[bezelleo]

It's just a little more complicated than that, but at least your half right.

[Justice41]

Not my job to go into details for the rabble, let them go seek out the info so they can at least make correct arguments.

[Mwynn]

Hollywood Mogul lays it out pretty easily. You sell the rights overseas. Picking one as a partner. You actually end up making more on Tv than you do on overseas box office.

I don't want a T4. Especially since Arnold is too old and un-pumped up these days.

[Mwynn]

1. They are rewriting history.
2. Nothing we have not seen before in other shows.
3. The guy playing the terminator is way over acting.
4. Forget the movies if you plan to watch this show, this is a new ground zero.

[bassturd]

haha, that looks bad. Why make a TV series about this?....unless I'm mistaken and its not a series. There isn't much depth in a show that just has a robot chasing a person nonstop until one dies. Good action for a movie, but this will probably get canceled and no one will even know it exsisted in a month or so after its release.

I thought Terminator 4 was suppose to be the actual war, where is that! T2 is still the best, you can't beat that villain...i luved him.

[Mwynn]

On May 9, 2007, it was announced that rights to The Terminator series had passed hands from producers Andrew Vajna and Mario Kassar to the Halcyon Co., a privately funded company formed by entrepreneurs Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson. In the Variety article detailing the purchase, it states the fourth film is now earmarked for a Summer 2009 release and will focus on a 30-year old John Connor in what the producers hope will be a new trilogy. Series creator James Cameron and star Arnold Schwarzenegger are currently not involved with the project.

The same referenced May 9 Variety article reported that Fox is said to be very impressed with the series and it could be ordered as a full series as early as "this week" according to sources. It's also said that Kassar and Vajna, the C2 partners has taken a passive role in production of the pilot and it's speculated by Variety that C2 is getting out of "Terminator" altogether and their stake in the series will transfer to the new owners of the franchise, Halcyon Co.

Director David Nutter recently stated that actor Kyle Lucas will be portraying the new Terminator, Model KL5000. Lucas could not be reached for comment, but his agent said he was "Delightfully enthusiastic about besting Arnold."

[bassturd]

riiiiight. Because playing a cyborg that shows no emotion will allow you to "best Arnold"...the closest you can come to a robot in human form.

[Moonrider]

I was kinda hoping that they would explain why SkyNet based all of their T100 model after the governor of Cali-faw-nia. Oh well...

That scene was in T3.

[RandallFlagg]

That scene was in T3.
It was? I must have missed it. I only saw it a couple times. Could you explain please?

[Biofungus]

My question is, if Skynet is so damned smart, why doesn't it just send 2 or 3 terminators? (even if it had to wait a year or two, send them in one by one as sleeper agents, then when the last one arrives, wake the other two). Duh.

[DoctorWHO]

Who cares...this show looks bloody awful. Dawson's Terminator? Give me a break man.

[Mwynn]

It was? I must have missed it. I only saw it a couple times. Could you explain please?
There was a scene filmed during production that explains why all Terminators looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger. A character named Chief Master Sergeant William Candy (played by Schwarzenegger) explains in an army promotion video he was chosen to be the model of the Terminator project. Schwarzenegger's character has a Southern US accent. When General Brewster questions it, another scientist replies (in a Schwarzenegger voice over), "We can fix it." The actor portraying this scientist is Jack Noseworthy. It was included in early prints of the film, but was later deleted. This scene is available as a special feature on the DVD version.

If you apply logic to these movies they would be pretty short. Lord of the Rings could have been complete in less than 15 minutes.

Thank you! I never saw the DVD version. I saw it in theaters, and then when it came on HBO or one of those movie channels.

Too bad it's not on youtube.

Ha! Ahnuld hasn't been dubbed that badly since "Hercules in New York" :D

[Mwynn]

Not just that. Just the fact that they had flying creatures, you fly over the volcano and drop the damn ring in. 3 movies of walking down to 15 minutes.

[Biofungus]

If I might state the obvious:

Nazgul have flying creatures too. I don't think you'd want to risk f**king up that drop...

"Oops, missed the volcano by 20 feet! Now we have to land and find the ring before the nazgul, who are mystically drawn to the ring, before they do!"

It IS common sense ;)

[DoctorWHO]

"Terminator fans have been waiting for this" We have? Since when? I don't recall ever saying "ya know...there should be a weekly one hour tv series...that would really make Terminator cool." :yawn:

I kind of respect his fan boy mentality that he wants to do a better "T3"...but come on...in TV form? No way. Terminator is much better as a film franchise not a tv hack job. But then again...we are getting Star Wars the Live Action tv show as well. *Sigh* Some things will just translate better then others. But we might get bored of seeing the Terminator of the week popping up to kill Sarah Conner and her ultra-horny-I love female Terminators-teenage son.

[Deadfish07]

So if this series makes it past six episodes, how long before John Conner starts sleeping with the female Terminator?

I mean, it makes sense. Future John sends a dude back to bang his mom, might as well send a sex-bot for him to have some happy memories.

Was it not suppose to be a surprise that she was a Terminator?
http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20160052,00.html

This is as bad as them letting you know that Arnie was the good guy in T2.

[Gav Heryng]

Well, the worst kept secret of 1991 was deliberate. It was decided prior to the films release that it would be mae public that Arnie was the good guy to help sell the film.

It doesn't take away from the story too much.

If you think about it, after Arnie's arrival scene it would've been obvious he was good guy when he didn't pull the faces off everybody in the bar...

Well, at least Summer Glau is working again. :thumbs:

Did you read the comments on the youtube trailer? Those have to be planted by the studios. :laugh:

[Jon Dahl]

Amanda and I got bored about a week ago and watched all of season 1.

I didn't think the show was horrible. The time lines are a little skewed and Lena Headey is no Linda Hamilton, but it's brain candy.

I'm trying to find why season 1 episodes are in a one hour format, and season 2 is a half hour?

[Jon Dahl]

Nevermind, my Xbox 360 says the episode is 28 minutes, but it's actually 44. Weird. :p

[DoctorWHO]

Sharon Manson of Garbage is in this? (Guess it must be a good way to promote an album..."Play my music and I'll have a guest role!")

[Jon Dahl]

Shirley Manson from Garbage is in the show, I don't know who this "Sharon" is. :nyah:

She's the T-1000 super-villain.

[Biofungus]

T-1001 actually.

(and yes, there's supposed to be a specific difference between the T-1000 and T-1001 models that they will reveal later, although it could be as simple as the male, and female versions, but we'll have to wait and see).

[Moonrider]

Do they always have to use only binary numbers for numbering their Terminator line? I'd hate to think that in the future's future there will be a T-1000101011001001001010101 model.

[Jon Dahl]

What about the T-888?

[Great Scott]

What about the T-888?
Pardon me while I get into full-on geek mode:
Do you mean the T-800 (aka the Schwarzenegger model)? There was also a T-600 model mentioned by Kyle Reese...apparently those were easy to spot.

[Biofungus]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-1000

Ahnuld was originally "Model 101", and I think the "upgraded" model (of Ahnuld) in T2 was T-800.

[C. Wallace]

Ahnuld was originally "Model 101", and I think the "upgraded" model (of Ahnuld) in T2 was T-800.

IIRC - He is a "T-800 model 101" T-800 is the designation for the basic model, and the 101 refers to the style (likeness) of the exterior. T-800 being the newer models with real skin. T-600 being the old rubber skin versions.

There was no "upgraded" model of him in the second film. Both T-800s were sent back at the same time to two different points in the past. Thats how the original piece from the script read anyway.

[Moonrider]

My brain is still running on NerdOS ver.0.012 Beta.

All this geek talk is too much to handle, and I'm sorry I asked.

[Jon Dahl]

No, I meant the T-888. :p
