I just watched T3 again yesterday, and the movie implied that he hasn't been attacked by another Terminator since T2. So they must be ignoring that part of the story

The showcontinues the "Terminator" movie franchise storyline by focusing on Sarah and her 15-year-old son John, as they fight attackers from the future in present-day Los Angeles.

Man, will Sarah and John ever get a break?

Note to franchise: you are running out of times to send assasins back into.


No wonder the humans got to the time machines, ever damn Terminator in the base was being sent back into time.

T3 pretty much threw off the entire timeline by about three years, so I wouldn't be surprised if the show is partly a retcon. I hope so, anyway, as to me the movie flows much better if John is 19 instead of 23.

I was sitting there watching the original "The Terminator" and I'm thinking that the machines just didn't think things through when they designed a big muscular terminator because it would have been a dead give away that he's a terminator. I mean these people that the terminator was supposed to look like were survivors in a post nuclear holocaust world. These people wouldn't have had any gyms and protein shakes to help them build massive muscles. So if you're sitting there resting after a hard day of duking it out with H/K's and a guy shows up that is sporting 100 pounds of extra muscle then wouldn't you be suspicious?

He actually would look closer to the T2 Future John... and certainly has an air of "son of Michael Beihn" about him.

I love this quote from:

http://www.obsessedwithfilm.com/

"I think McG is capable of more than he’s shown so far but if he wants to be taken more seriously he can start by using his real bloody name."


LOVE the news about Christian Bale being cast as John Conner. Fingers crossed that this ultimately pans out.

Christian Bale as John Conner is actually great casting. But i'm not impressed by the choice of McG as the director. He feels equally wrong as Jonathan Mostow felt wrong as the director to T3. And now that Arnold doesn't reprise his role as the Terminator I don't know what to think about this project.

I bet Nick Stahl's pissed. I'd be.

"Ya mean they got Batman and Riddick in this? ...So, Disturbing Behavior 2 DTV it is."

This is perhaps one of the most shocking news items I've read all year, when it comes to film. Whether Bale actually signs the dotted line or not, though, the fact that he was even considering it tells me that the script by Brancato and Farris is probably pretty good. I've been extremely curious about this project from Day One, mainly because I've been dying to see them finally realize the "future war" on the big screen in this series.

I think the concept does lend itself to more movies (we haven't even seen the war yet), but only if they completely toss of the shackles of the Arnold/Linda Hamilton era. If you're going to squeeze every last drop of profitability out of these films, then at least don't try to make amends by awkwardly bending over backwards to include remnants of the previous films. John Connor in the future, war with the Terminators...go!

And I would be interested to know what "movie-star money" he's getting for this, and what "movie-star money" he's NOT getting for Batman. Didn't Hugh Jackman and company renegotiate for bigger X-Men paydays as the series went on? Might there not be something similar for Bale? I can't believe the money he got for the Batman films didn't go a long way to securing his financial future.

The need to change that ****ty title, though. Sounds like a Terminator video game.

Great casting there if it turns out to be true. If it is than the script must be good because Bale doesn't just take anything. I look forward to seeing more news on this.

Terminator: War of the Machines would be a good title I think and if they get Christian Bale then I'll be there on opening day.

No, they abolsutely need to include the "final" attack on Skynet, Reese getting sent back through the vortex & Connor finding/reprogramming the T-800- hopefully using at least some of Cameron's abandoned T2 opening that featured those events. Would be nice if they could explain Skynet's survival long enough to sent back the T-X as well, unless they'r etaking the preferrable route of just ignoring T3 altogether.

I'd love to actually see the war with the machines and Christian Bale would be a good choice. I don't know how much they're putting into this movie or if they're planning a series but it would be good if they showed them sending Reese into the past eventualy to show how it all started.
