    Same writers for T4 as T3... Oh dear...

    The T3 script was needlessly weak in a number of areas so that doesn't bode well...

    The fact that *cough* McG *plah* is possibly going to direct it... Oh dear!!

    I just recently saw that the title is TERMINATOR SALVATION: THE FUTURE BEGINS and it's the beginning of a new trilogy.


    But yeah....McG.

    That title, plus McG, plus the T3 writers, plus "new trilogy, hyuck!!!" just kneed me right in the balls so hard I'm hacking up throat-goo...

    ...but once I've realigned the berries, I'll resume shouting "load of old penis!" quick-smart!

    New Trilogy?

    I don't even consider T3 to be a worthy sequel, and don't think that it makes the Terminator series a trilogy.

    As I've said in another thread, T1 and T2 are the only ones that count in my book.

    Yeah, T3 not worthy to smell my $hit. T4, et al, likewise.

    Though, secretly I was glad that they got rid of the little twerp that played John from T2 in T3. That kid is similarly not worthy to smell my $hit.

    My thoughts exactly... T3 was an average action flick with some unfortunately dumb elements to the writing... T1 & T2 were just great imaginative action flicks with some great writing behind them!

    Cameron is an outstanding director and the reason why T3 wasn't as good was because he didn't make it, full stop. I'm glad he finally took that sea capsule back up to the surface of the ocean 'cos I was getting worried about him for a sec. Avatar sounds amazing.

    He recently expressed interest in making another Alien movie as well...

    I hope Avatar lives up to his films from the 90s... I hope he hasn't gone all Carpenter on us!!

    Well, it's been a while since he filmed an original project and some of his later films lacked his trademark punch. Time will tell I guess... Saying that, I'm sure he's all out to blow the world away again.

    they should do soemthing like "terminator:the end" and setit after they fought the future war and sent the people back, like have the last few humans alive find some ruins and planet of the apes style wake up old machinery and have the very last terminator in existence just do what comes naturally.
    sure itd kill the franchise as the last one but its better than another 21st century person fights a terminator plot that im sick of as nothing can come close to t-2.

    Titanic, whilst a crap story and kinda pointless (yes, we know, the boat sinks), was at least good for the Cameron style bravado and scale of everything. True Lies was awesome fun, it really had Cameron's sense of humour throughout it, a very enjoyable flick.

    And another Cameron jaunt into "Aliens" land would be freaking awesome. He should do an alternate universe tangent where it takes place after the second film, just so we can have Hicks back, HICKS RULES!

    Of course, there's the age factor since the second movie ... still ... gotta be an explanation in there somewhere, come on - it's HICKS!
