The Future Coda ending of T2 actually did that. It's the ending I prefer.
Terminator Salvation is set in 2018. Set the new movie 11 years later. It'll be 2029, the year that JC and co found the time displacement equipment. Skynet sends the T-800, and the T-1000 to their respective times. Have JC reprogram a T-800 and send him and Kyle Reese through their respective times. Realizing that some powerful leaders will loose their positions if either hero succeeds, they infiltrate and steal a prototype TX from Skynet. They send her to 2003. Kate reprograms the T-800 that assassinates JC, in a desperate attempt to intercept the TX. There you go. My idea for Terminator: Damnation!
I'd always assumed Skynet had created it too. Humans hadn't invented time travel by Judgment Day and they'd certainly have more important things to worry about after the nuclear apocalypse. Plus Skynet was the first to use it.
Yup, get cameron to do another one, case closed. With titanic and now Avatar under his belt he can do any project he wants to in hollywood.
Hasn't that always been the case? It's not like he's new to the business.
Although after he called "Spider-Man 4"
"Sloppy Seconds"
I doubt he'll direct T5 if given the chance to.
Can you tell me what a director does and exactly why McG is not a good one?
^ I'm still reading that there are people trying to get that film made. I doubt that it'll happen personally, but you never know.
Actually he didn't. Cameron has stated before that he'd planned to do a Terminator 3, but could not come to an agreement with a studio. He mentions it on a documentary about the creation of T2: The Ride.

If nothing else, I LOVE your title!
Personally, my issues with Terminator Salvation had less to do with plot and more to do with the visuals. I wanted something that looked more like the brief future flashbacks from the 1st 3 movies, with humanity truly on the ropes.
I'm having this vision in my head of a new movie set in 2029. The war has been going very badly for humanity. Resources dwindle. John Connor has lost his faith and lives alone as a hermit in the wastelands. (In keeping with the franchise's habit of recasting John Connor in each movie, I'm thinking Hugh Laurie this time.) Eventually, Kyle Reese finds him and recruit's him for their most important mission yet-- to locate and destroy Skynet's rumored timetravel technology. You'd have kind of this ironic backwards father/son relationship between John Connor & Kyle Reese, with Connor plagued with guilt for knowing that he has to order Reese to his death. I like this idea of a story of an old fighter regaining his life, reconciling with his own children (who don't understand his affinity for Reese) and reconciling with Katherine Brewster.
