"Terminator 3000"

[Valfar]

If there is more Terminators(T-800's mainly, Tank and Aerial HK's) going around blowing up ____ all over the place then, i might enjoy this more then TS, especially if they use Cameron's Terminator designs.

Ugh. Terminator going kid friendly and watered down. Can't be a good sign...

Half of me doesn't give a crap about anything post-Cameron. I mean, if it's good I'll support it. T:TSCC was good and the third and fourth films aren't as bad as everyone says (well, T3 is almost as bad) but again, I can really only get on-board for the first two.

That said, the rational part of me says that the further they get into the future the more fantastical and unrealistic the violence becomes and as such they can probably get away with the PG-13 and even if they were to do another future war movie there'd be so much CGI that it might as well be animated anyway. It has to be better than that awful Terminator Salvation thing they animated with the video game engine.

So yeah, it will never be the same without Cameron but I can't say this is the worst idea in the world but at the very least I certainly would want to see how it shapes up before I dismissed it.

There is some irony in a post like this from someone with Transformers as their avatar and signature

But I do have to agree... this does not sound good at all.

I know. But at least the TF movies were cheesy from the very beginning (though the sequel sucked HARD), and they weren't spawned from two classic movies that really didn't need any sequels, especially ones that sucked so much.

Oh man.... why do they have to fart around with this??? I want a darker sequel.... heavy into the machine war action with scenes like with see in the T1 future war sequences.

Is there any chance James Cameron would ever return to the franchise?

 

[Blackhole]

As bad as this sounds, I'm cool with it as long as it stops McG sending his Skynet armies to present day London in the sequel he wanted...THAT WOULD BE RUBBISH...

Within a day of it being announced that the "Terminator" franchise was making a comeback through a 3D animated feature, the franchise's future is once again on uncertain ground.

Hannover House and Red Bear Entertainment issued the press release announcing the $70 million "Terminator 3000" project on Thursday, Hannover House's Eric Parkinson telling Deadline that the announcement was released earlier than intended "only because one of the potential production partners spoke publicly about it".

In any case the news obviously upset franchise rights holder Pacificor who quickly issued a cease and desist letter to the company. However it seems Parkinson, who once headed the home video division of original "The Terminator" film production company Hemdale, claims to own "certain proprietary rights" that allow him to make the film - specifically the animation rights.

With financial backing in place, and a hefty rights fee (in the realm of $20-30 million) that would be owed to Pacificor, the companies have apparently arranged a meeting in the hopes of coming to a deal. Pacificor still owns "certain intellectual rights" and Parkinson admits that "it would be dangerous for us to do this without Pacificor's approval". It seems the outcome of this upcoming meeting will likely determine the project's fate.

eh I'll watch it but I ain't going to see it in the theatre.

It doesn't sound promising at all--the Terminator "mythos" just isn't suited to a kid-friendly format. Sounds like a purely financial decision from people who only want to see some new $$$ off the license. (Not that most things aren't financially-motivated of course, just this one seems even more so).
