[MovieRumor] Dear Hollywood, Please Make This TERMINATOR 5 Rumor True...

[ApexOversteer]

Fresh on the backside of a kerfuffle over the rights, Skydance Films and Annapurna Productions is developing Terminator 5, to be distributed by Paramount. Annapurna representatives have expressed the company's desire to make "the biggest Terminator movies yet."

Arnold Schwarzenegger has revealed that he will be returning in a major role and that the film will shoot in January.

Ok, so that isn't really exciting. A 60-something T-800 probably isn't what I'd consider when trying to imagine "the biggest Terminator movie ever"...

Then today the WWE's news website, yeah, the wrestling people, actually one of the fastest growing film production entities in Hollywood right now, spat out this gem... you see...

Before the machines sent a Terminator back to kill Sarah Conner, before they sent a Terminator back in time to kill Sarah Conner's son John twice... they sent a Terminator back in time... to the 1940's... to kill Sarah Conner's parents!

So, back right before WWII, a Terminator arrives in the US to kill Sarah Conner's folks. But they are saved, by a massive, but aging Austrian.

Ok, so we know who will play the Austrian. But who would play the new Terminator model?

Remember this was from the WWE people?

They're reporting that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is in talks to play this film's Terminator.

The idea is that, after the Austrian hero defeats the Rockinator (copyright pending) in the 1940's, the machines build a new Terminator in the Austrian's likeness, because it's someone Sarah Conner will trust, and send it back to 1984.

F*ck me... full circle? They want to bring it full circle? F*ck yeah! DO IT!

Sadly, this is just so batshit crazy, and the WWE is so far from a reliable source of info, there is no possible way this could be true and come 2015 we'll be watching something not anywhere near as awesome.

Whoa. I'd actually pay to see that. So, no way will it happen.

The Rock cooked up some serious acting cred. in "Snitch" easily his best screen performance to date, IMO.

IMO, Dwayne just needs to find a really good franchise vehicle for his chops and he'd break through and become something more than Arnold ever was, a leading man. His comic timing is fantastic, making him a great mix of Lethal Weapon-era Mel Gibson, with the screen presence of the 80's Arnold.

On the flip side of that coin, he makes every WWE wrestler think they're actors.

Oh well, we all have six toes, somewhere.

[Knooger]

He's got the size to pull it off, assuming he is still this big.

Since I believe in form over substance, Dwayne needs to get a new suit. The one he's wearing shows distortion/wrinkling from too many cleanings. Substantively, it sounds like a great idea. He'd make a perfect Terminator...and I don't see Arnold's age as a huge disadvantage. For no other reason, a Terminator movie would be DOA without him. We still watch Harrison Ford, and he's 5 years older than Arnold.

[78SA]

I wonder if he could pull off not smiling or making any kind of facial expression for 2 hours. :lol:

Granted, that's going to be hard for him. Look on the bright side: We may have a villain with a ...heart? Maybe that would be a good idea: Drop hints that there is a good reason Sarah Connor needs to be killed and gain a little mystery to the franchise. Watever it takes to keep it going.

Careful... that's The Scorpion King yer talkin' 'bout.... :D

[CubSmurf]

Have to admit, that certainly is intriguing!

His performance in The Rundown was excellent!

Yea, but it'll never top the first one. We've watched that movie fifty times I'd bet.

[simpleman68]

I would see it either way, but I would be pretty stoked if they adhered to a plot like you listed. :yesnod:

[ApexOversteer]

I heard similar but not quite as detailed rumors.

While the idea of the EldernatorTM isn't that exciting, the plot you laid out certainly is. :yesnod:



I really dig the idea that somewhere, at the same time as all this other crap is going on, lives this guy, with the face of a Terminator, but absolutely no knowledge of what his likeness means for the Conner family.

But I'd put it in present day as a direct sequel to T2: Judgement Day, and ignore Rise Of The Machines and Salvation.

I'd bring back Sarah Conner to finish her arc. In the first one she learned the rules, in the second one she played the game. This time, she goes pro.


You take Arnold's character, totally clean slate, and her mental stability, and you put them both in a mall, where she sees him across the foodcourt 5 minutes before The Rockinator comes to collect the design for the new model... shooting the whole way.

She has no clue why it isn't going after her and John, and Arnold has no clue why it IS going after him. Flip the whole thing on its head.

"Come with me if you want to live."

"I'll be back."

"Get to the choppah."

Roll credits.

No dout. What I liked most about his character in "Snitch" was the complete vulnerability and mortality his character had to come to terms with right away when he was out on the mean streets looking for the dope dealer who sold Extacy to his kid.

He got his ass kicked by a street gang and nearly got a cap busted off in his dome had the cops not intervened. It didn't matter that he's got muscles on top of muscles, he was not the bullet-proof, Joe Kick-ass character seen in roles past.

He had to learn the game from the ground up, completely out of his element. It made for a convincingly good storyline and ensured the drama, based on actual events, was enamored likewise.

[markyerger]

I also would like to see that be made :seasix:

awesome friggin story line


and as for The Rock, mang, that dewd came from nothing.
Pretty much living out of his car when the 'rasslin thing took off for him.
Add to the fact that he really is a good actor, I tip my hat off to him.

I actually had a few beers with The Rock in a bar at the St. Louis airport. It was really late at night, I think my flight was scheduled to leave at 11:45 PM, and I was just sitting alone at a bar sipping a beer and reading a book, when in came an entourage of four guys and about 8 chicks. The were all making a quite a bit of noise and one of the guys came over and apologized for disturbing me and offered to pay for my drinks.

Told him "You don't need to do that, I'm cool with you guys livening up this place." When I went to pay my tab, it had already been covered. It wasn't until about a month later that I realized who The Rock even was, when I accidentally saw a WWE event on my friend's Cory's TV, one of his roommates was really in to it. Some of the women that were with his group were pretty interesting, in a good yet scary way.

[ApexOversteer]

Do you think they have the "balls" to ignore 3 and 4 and semi-reboot it?

Worked for the entirety of Star Trek. That is the beauty of the time travel conceit, being able to use The Abrams Excuse of "oh that doesn't mean those things didn't happen... they just didn't happen in this timeline."

I would still like to see, in another movie, more about the war in the future w/the machines. I think that was my favorite part of Salvation. The "what happens next" in the future.

I'd like to see stories set during the war as well, but without having them be beholden to the Conners or Kyle Reese. If we never saw John Conner or Kyle Reese in Salvation, it would have been a better movie.

Pissed me off that the first time we get to see that time period, the writers f*cked John Conner out of his established destiny of being the leader of the resistance and turned Kyle Reese into a wuss.

He gives his heart to a Terminator? F*ck you McG and your writers too.

[Cybercowboy]

While I know pics weren't taken, some more verbal description would be appreciated. :D

Well, two were Amazon black chicks, and there were two big Amazon white chicks. The other four were normal sized and every one of them was pretty attractive. I'm pretty sure the three guys with the Rock were wrestlers, and this was back in the late 90's, probably 1999. This was back when the Rock actually wrestled instead of acting and whatnot. Four of the women were probably wrestlers too I'm guessing.

They definitely could throw down the booze. The Rock was drinking Jack Daniels if I remember correctly. He just bought the whole bottle and was pouring drinks from it for his buddies.

I agree. I was very surprised by that movie.

[onedef92]

Every parent should see it with their teenagers. Good movie about making positive choices and the dangers of drug abuse as well as the inside dope (pun) intended on the drug trade culture. :yesnod:

[DukeAllen]

Well, two were Amazon black chicks, and there were two big Amazon white chicks.

Amazons? Can we order them online?:D

[onedef92]

One might wonder what kind of woman they would be getting. :D

Presumably one with one tit. According to mythology, Amazonians cut off their right breasts so they wouldn't interfere with the use of the bow.

[onedef92]

Well that gives Wonder Woman an interesting new visual.

She's got enough funbag tissue for two slims anyhow.... :rofl:

[Bucwheat]

Love to see that flick,I still get goose bumps from the original.:hurray:
