Terminator 3000 People...WTF!??

Making the next Terminator movie PG-13 is really silly. They should let this franchise to rest for a while, and come back with a reboot ten years from now.
 
My immediate reaction is that it's silly to go animated and then reduce the violence.

If anything, an animated Terminator should be in Japanese hands and chillingly violent.

They are going the animation route because they want to make the next movie on the cheap. Sad really.

The only way I can see this franchise be saved is if James Cameron came back as director and made an awesome T5.
 
"Terminator: 3000 people" just doesn't sound interesting. But maybe we can get Arnie to do a voice.
 
I think they wasted their money purchasing the rights to the franchise just to go this route with it. I don't mind it animated but what is with the PG-13 rating? Reducing the violence isn't going to make a more compelling story or make it cheaper to animate I don't think. They'd better come up with a really good mind blowing story and even that is not going to convince me to see this.

I'm one of those sentimentalists that believes that pretty much any story can be sequelled or spun off... and even I think it's time to put this serious out to pasture.
 
Ahh, Terminator 3000...where 3000 American made terminators meet a million strong horde of Chinese built robots in a narrow pass in the Rockie Mountains...and they fight for freedom.

THIS IS SKYNET!

That would probably be more interesting than the last two films.

That what I thought too, animated? interesting, but forcing a PG-13 kind of worries me.
 
The rating doesn't bother me. The Sarah Connor Chronicles did a fine job within network-TV broadcast standards. Indeed, some of their indirect ways of showing violence were a lot more effective and chilling than graphic gore and gunplay would've been.

Best case scenario, I do just want the television show back.

My gripe is that animation makes it wholly possible to show choice, gruesome moments that would be prohibitively expensive or difficult to achieve satisfactorily in live-action. Sure, don't go overboard, but make the best of what the medium has to offer. Albeit, I don't give a damn about 3-D.

It's a creative waste to force it to a PG-13.


Is $70 million cheap these days for an animated film? It seems like that would be a decent amount for a more 'back-to-basics' live-action Terminator film.
