Terminator Rights Likely to Be Sold
- Thread starter Frontier
- Start date
I think it's time to retire this franchise. If they had done the third film in the mid-90s, it would have been huge. But it's time has passed and the last thing we need is another uterrly humorless fanboy edition of Terminator without Sam Worthington having to save the film from a grunting Christian Bale.
It had good numbers overseas which I think will prevent that. The only place Salvation did poorly was in the US.
Do tell.
I believe you did spell his name right. What script elements did he add to T3?
Shame. I'd really love to see his take on an all-out future war movie. Sure, we've already gotten a post-apocalyptic film with Terminator Salvation but we haven't seen Cameron's take on a post-apocalyptic Terminator film. And really, Cameron is just in a totally different league from the other directors who have worked on the franchise. (Of modern directors, I'd say Spielberg & Ridley Scott are the only other 2 who are in the same upper eschelon as Cameron.)
Terminator meets Grendel.
Really? Why not?
If I recall correctly - I read this in 2004 - he felt that you couldn't get as much from the films as you could from the novels.
I would have liked to seen elements of the Infiltrator novels be adapted into a trilogy. When I first heard about the Cameron idea for TSCC I immediately thought of the Terminator in those novels. I'm intrigued to see what Jim Cameron's take would be on the Future War since he came up with the idea and we saw snippets of it in Terminator.
I personally think that it is a good thing that the rights to the Terminator franchise is being sold again, although I loved Salvation I didn't like what I was hearing about the next film John Connor going back in time to events before T3, I really would prefer if they do another film in the future and than in the sixth film start the time travel premise again. Hopefully they don't reboot the franchise the story that has been told so far has been great even when it wasn't at its best (T3) it has been a lot of fun and Arnold just cannot be replaced yet, I would love to see more 3D Arnold as bad as that sounds, think of it a synthetic actor playing a cyborg it just fits in a twisted sort of way

James Cameron version of the Future War has been somewhat filmed. The video for T2 3-D is an interesting thing to watch (and experience if you get the chance).
I still love though how he claimed when T3 was announced that he felt his version of Terminator was over with T2. If you have the Ultimate Edition DVD of T2 in the documentary for the creation of T2 3-D he says that the theme park attraction was his stepping stone until he could make his T3.
I think Cameron just moved on. Maybe he wanted to do T3 at some point or another, but he was given the opportunity to do T3, but he passed. Clearly he's got his hands full now. I doubt he has any regrets, or any desire to return to something he helped create. I'd think as a storyteller seeing something you created take shape and form outside your creative mindset would be pretty humbling to witness.
Hopefully, Stirling isn't like that with all of his books, I wouldn't mind seeing his change series turned into a miniseries/movie.
It's very possible Sterling just doesn't want his works tampered with (on that level it's pretty understandable) but at the other end of the spectrum Terminator isn't even his own creation, so it's a double edged sword. If he wanted to be so cautious over his work he should have created something of his own.
This is the first I'm hearing of it! Congratulations! What's it about?
