Terminator 4

I'm not too keen on a fourth movie but I am interested with a TV show comign soon titled "the Sarah Connor Chronicles". It focuses on the events between T2 and T3 and whilst Linda Hamilton might not return atleast her character will continue. Rumour has it the show will tie in with T4.
 
Terminator 3 was terrible and to now make a 4th without Arnie is a terrible mistake. The phrase 'straight to video' comes to mind!
 
T3 wasn't that bad really even though it was far too short. Enough is enough really for the movies I think.

The TV series should have been set during the war against the machines with a Battlestar Galactica-style approach to the story IMO.
 
Actually, Alien 3 was the last good Alien film.

They should have learned from RoboCop, whose 3rd outing was nothing short of dire. Pretty much the same as T3.

Paddy :D
 
I like how the show will see Sarah Connor on the run from the authorities and there are many parts of the story between T2 and T3 we might not already know. It could be an effective way at seeing John transform into his T3 version, Sarah Connor's cancer story and the rebuilding of Cyberdine Systems.
Although equally, if the show does tie in with T4 it could be tragic. Let's face it T4 will no doubt be set during the war, Arnie won't be returning, Sarah Connor is well and truly dead by then and lord help us we may have to sit through another Katherine Brewster.
 
I'd like to see a twist in T4 where it's revealed that Sarah Connor was herself a super-advanced deep cover Terminator (yes capable of giving birth) created by the resistance in the far future and sent back in time to defeat Skynet

Now that would be interesting!
 
I highly suspect that "The chronicles of Sarah Connor" will turn into a "Terminator"-of-the-week episode with watered down gore. Also, there will be cameo's from Arnie (probably in voice only) and Robert Patrick in the pilot.
 
The first 2 Terminator films were excellent and finished the whole story off nicely. There is absolutely no need to make any further entries in the series, tv or film, and I disregard them as being just money making ventures made by passionless souls who arent interested in the integrity of the story and are just trying to make money out of an idea that is coasting on former success and popularity. The creators of the first 2 films had artistic integrity and ambition. The rest of these losers coming up with Terminator 3, 4, 5, .... are just Hollywood scum cashing in. Can't they come up with something new?
 
I totally agree but the show might atleast make up for T3 by showing the bits in between. I still don't want a T4 or T5 as I'm sure I heard somewhere the plan was for Jonathan Mostow to have his own Termiantor trilogy.
One of the main losers, I call him Mostow, he driected T3 and unlike Arnie, it is HE who will be back for the next.
 
Gives us hope. :)
I'm sure I read on a web article very shortly after T3 that Mostow wanted Sarah connor to appear in T4 and that Linda Hamilton may do that one after all. I suppose there could be flashback scenes and I can kind of see roughly how T4 and 'Sarah Connor' could tie in but it would be a little odd.
 
I dont understand why they dont set T4 in the future instead of rehasing the years 84-04 when the connors are legging it.

They tell the whole tale from the furture, showing them sending back the terminators through the years, how john connor got the rebels together and thier struggle to overthrow the machines.

In this day and age of special effects, filming the future would be a doddle.
 
No it wasn't. OK, it wasn't absolutely fantastic, but it's definitely a worthy sequel. The only thing they did wrong was toning down the content level to make it PG-13/12A. The studio forced that on them, of course.
