looks like the second installment in both terminator franchises is gonna be HUGE. go arnie!![COLOR="Silver"] Wait.....there are two Terminator series?

[krakenslayer]

Wait.....there are two Terminator series? There are two, actually three, continuities: First there's the Sarah Connor Chronicles timeline where Sarah Connor is alive and well in 1999/2007 and Skynet is sending Terminators back to support its own creation. Then there's the T3/T4 timeline where Sarah Connor died of leukemia in 1997 and Judgment Day took place in 2004. Additionally, of course, there's the original timeline where Judgment Day took play in 1997, but since T3 it hasn't really been the focus of any continuing franchise.

I understand SCC, but the four films are the same storyline...

I understand SCC, but the four films are the same storyline... what i mean is theres two separate franchises. the first three, then this new series which is also scheduled to be three.

what i mean is theres two separate franchises. the first three, then this new series which is also scheduled to be three. I don't think Salvation is really a new franchise. It's still continuing Sarah/John's story arc from the previous films. It's just a continuation that they were hoping could go for the three films. I'll put it this way....it's not a new franchise in the same sense as the Burton/Shumacher and Nolan Batman films.

new leads, new studio....new franchise. i see what u mean tho, but it just doesnt have that cameron feel to it. not that its bad, cuz i love terminator salvation Same Sarah Conner(voice), same story arc for John, obviously Reese had to be a new actor(who was great in the role, imo), Arnold's (CGI) appearance, etc. To me, Salvation is clearly a continuation of the existing series. If it were a reboot with no past ties then I could understand, but as it sits now there are just too many connecting ties to the first three films. Terminator 3 didn't have the cameron feel either, but you consider it in the same franchise as the first two?

Considering how much AVATAR sucked I am glad Cameron isn't involved anymore. The last great film Cameron made was True Lies

See, I don't even like the idea of a "sexy" female Terminator. I get that the machine needs some kind of disguise, but a) the design doesn't fit with the angular, oppressively functional/utilitarian design of the rest of the machines and b) the endoskeleton, without the disguise, was still an overly pretty, over-engineered piece of hardware, with blue lights and a pointlessly "aerodynamic" design. Uh...I think Bass was talking about what she looked like on the OUTSIDE... $600,000,000 in box office including companies buying the rights and FX buying the tv rights = they dont care SEEING T3 + everything I've heard about T4= I know they don't care.

I am on the fence with T3... while it is cheesy as hell some really great action set pieces were put on display, but too many over the top comedy moments.

Other sources for a new movie could be one of the novels http://www.listal.com/list/terminator-novels Or one of the many Terminator themed comic books. My choice would be Terminator: The Burning Earth from Now Comics (1990). https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._Burning_Earth

F*ck it...get Arnold and Peter Weller in a Terminator vs Robocop, baby!

[acealive1]

F*ck it...get Arnold and Peter Weller in a Terminator vs Robocop, baby! in the mythos, the terminator skeleton is below robocop's suit. it was also supposed to be in robocop 2 when they stripped him.

Considering how much AVATAR sucked I am glad Cameron isn't involved anymore. The last great film Cameron made was True Lies Yeah, I pretty much agree, to a point. Not a big Cameron guy anymore. But there is something to be said for the original writer/director continuing a series vs. hired hands. I can't imagine T2 being as good as it was if someone else had made it. If there was some alternate reality where Cameron kept making movies like "Aliens", "T 1&2" etc then yeah I would want him to continue them. But here in reality, no. in the mythos, the terminator skeleton is below robocop's suit. it was also supposed to be in robocop 2 when they stripped him. I knew about the "vs" comic, but didn't know that. That's pretty cool.
