With Cameron producing, you can pretty much guarantee he's going to make sure Schwarzenegger gets a free lunch. Expect a CG Arnold imo.
No he hasn't.
I'd say it's more like he Goodfella'd.

It isn't hard to figure out that if this happened, it would ignore Terminator 3, Salvation and Genisys...
basically REBOOTING the reboots to conclude HIS canon.

Article says it's a reboot AND conclusion. Arnold is going to get payed.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
That's RobertCop vs. Termiantor.

Reboot and conclusion obviously means it's going to be future war and end with Kyle Reese going back to 1984.
Reboot would imply the 1984 stuff so I'm thinking separate movies. First one is 1984 and second is future war.

Huh! I don't really see the point of this, other then $$$, but I'm interested, especially with Cameron actually returning and not given his so-called high opinion on the film.

I bet it's going to be future war with Kyle Reese going back at the end which sets up the reboot set in 1984.
So like Genisys?
Or are you saying they'll do two movies with the first being the future war and the second being the reboot?

Lmao that OP
OP, explain yourself! What was with the jeep?
The only post Terminator 2 movie people have been hyped for was Salvation and that's due to the concept art. Nobody expected Genisys to be good and I didn't see much hype for T3.
"Godfather" = Sit in on one script meeting in which he'll spend all his time checking emails on his phone and being passive aggressive to everyone.
All the heat Tim Miller got from Deadpool and he's using it on this, another fucking Terminator film that no one asked for and China thought was okay?
Nah, don't buy it.
Expect to see this project rematerialise in 18 months with Cameron nowhere to be seen and directed by a 19 yo who did a Skrillex video on his iPhone that one time.

Two movies.
First movie with Tim Miller will be future war entirely and end with Reese going back to 1984 to set up complete reboot movie of the original Terminator set in 1984.
People were absolutely hyped for Terminator 3.

Make this the movie about Henriksen Terminator.
Why give Schwarzenegger a victory lap?
Give it to LANCE.

You liked it?
I'd be interested if this were an R rated 'future war' film with a budget of less than $50m directed by someone hungry for their first big hit.
But it won't be.
So I'm not.
Years ago Andy Warhol famously said 'Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes'. Now it's more like 'Everyone will executive produce a Terminator reboot at some point'.
Please PM when it's my turn.
Cheers.

After Genisys (which had the right idea in BTTF2ing the original, then screwed it up completely) I've long thought that straight up telling Reese's story ending in the final assault and Reese's return to 1984 is the way to go (this would obviously retcon Genisys).
Also had the idea that they should do this practical-effects-only, because the future scenes were never more sinister and creepy than in the original. Bit gimmicky perhaps, but I'd love to see it.

I want them to drag Robert Patrick out.
He is in Genisys.
It wasn't bad.
God, I would love to see a film about the future war done right.
It killed me when Salvation turned out to be bad. It was nice to finally get something that seemed to move things forward and was different instead of Arnold just going back in time again and punching another robot in modern day.

Why copy and paste an article title when you can just mangle the ever living fuck out of it by retyping
In a way.... aren't we all in Genisys?

I'm not sure why other than the Terminator name. The director wasn't exactly some hotshot and the trailers (I rewatched them just now) weren't pure hype. I guess people were thirsty enough though and weren't used to the shovelware Terminator shit yet.
Some of the concept art for Salvation looked really on point but the movie was obviously a mess.

Genisys was one of the few 0/10 movies I've seen in my life

After the train wreck that was Genisys I don't want anything Terminator related again.
The films ended after T2 for me.
Possibly the WORST film I've ever seen in my life.

Real news is that Cameron's 3D mastered version of T2 was just announced to premiere at Berlin film festival.

Please.
Stop.
I hope this is easy to catch in the US. It is seriously the movie I am most excited to see in theaters in 2017.

I'd say that is accurate. I think beyond any trailers or director, it was still a followup to T2 with Arnold. I remember people being very excited around that period.

A conclusion huh? I have always been refining my own perfect way to end the series based on the course of the first two and Cameron's interviews on future films. If it's set entirely in the future, doesn't revolve around John Connor and delves just a tiny bit into how Skynet ticks, I'll be so happy.
Oh shit, sorry dude. Just worked out what you were doing, haha.

Obviously 2 is GOAT, but man, I really like 3 and Genisys. But then I don't take the storylines super seriously or anything.

I've always thought the third film should've always been a Saving Private Ryan- type future war film that followed one unit and made the Terminator a legitimate horror threat again. It should've ended with Reese going back to '84.
The first film was about Reese and Sarah. Second film about Sarah and John. Third film should've been about John and Reese. Perfect family trilogy capper.
