It looks like the Terminator: Salvation ending rumors where true!

[Brandonv]

Remember the rumors that at the end of T4...

Spoiler: The previous T4 ending

...John Connor would die and Marcus would put on his skin? Link

According to this article, it turns out that really was the ending, but that it has now been changed. The new ending is supposed to be getting a better reception by test audiences.

I am glad they changed it.

So, my question then, IF THIS IS TRUE, is this now alternate ending going to be on the DVD and what will the new ending be?

Seems they shot the alternate ending for just this purpose. That it would be received poorly. Kudos for trying to make a philosophical statement but imo it was an overreach.

^ They never shot that original ending. It was changed quite early on in filming, I believe.

Oh thank GOD! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

That ending would have sucked eggs through a hose.

*Wonders if that T-RIP bust will still come out, and if it had showed this...*

 

[Thrall]

I think those stories about McG being an idiot might be true.

Or that was never the way the movie was going to end and he's just screwing with us.

The T-RIP is a T-800. The name has been changed for this film. This was revealed by accident in promotional material released by Playmates toys.

Wow, that would have been a ballsy move. Maybe too ballsy

For some reason, this whole situation is making me more excited.

 

[Roshi]

I kinda liked that. Too bad.

 

[StarTrek1701]

Thank goodness the original ending was shelved! It would have been ballsy, yet stupid.

 

[bigdaddy]

GOOD!

That ended would have been horrible.

 

[Othello]

Audiences are pu&^$*# That ending would have rocked.....

 

[LutherSloan]

I'm glad they changed it, that would have been a disaster.

 

[NX74205]

My confidence level in this movie has dropped a couple of notches. If that foolishness was originally in the script and they thought it was a good idea before it was leaked, what other crap is in there that is equally bad that we don't know about?

 

[Pilot Ace]

I'm curious, why are people so completely against that ending? Is it just too bold for what is supposed to be a relatively brainless, sci-fi Hollywood action movie? Is predictable all you really want when it comes to Terminator?

I mean, I do get a sense of that myself. But, I don't think the ending is so fundamentally horrible as people here do.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

I don't get why people don't like this either. We've seen that Terminators can be good (if reprogrammed). But the idea that a Terminator is taking on the identity of the leader of the worldwide resistance against SkyNet to give humanity a hope for the future and not let morale completely die is a pretty neat idea.

John Connor: "It's not who I am underneath but what I do that defines me."

 

[Captain Craig]

John Connor: "It's not who I am underneath but what I do that defines me."

Is this from the series?

That would fit with the original ending but its a different T-verse according to the producers of the show.
