Christian Bale is to play rebel leader John Connor in three sequels to the Terminator franchise, its producers have revealed.

Bollocks. There should be some sort of rule against this. T3 was gay enough.
There is a remote possibility that with Christian Bale on board and possible decent directing, that these may NOT suck ass. After all, Sarah Connor Chronicles worked out pretty good!
I dunno, but on the different grounds of whether sci-fi nowadays looks cheesey. Things like BSG are ok as they tend to have urban or rural settings (or inside ships), but could Terminator films set after the start of the war just end up looking like a load of people running round a scrapheap for 2 hours?
they need to get rid of the stupid female terminators, it just doesnt make sense!
sarah c chronicles sucked imo.
Could work but Im not going to get excited just yet
I like the sound of these. Taking a step away from the traditional storyline and jumping us right into the post apocalyptic future many years after T3, and Christian Bale makes a perfect John Connor to my mind.
Sticky ftw :)
Terminator 1. Bit pants
Terminator 2. Very good.
Terminator 3: Shocking

Bale Picks his movies quite well tbh, some may not be massive hits but be cult hits, Equilibrium not one of the biggest films ever but quite good and has a good underground fan base.
I think them not messing about and trying to latch on anything past Terminator is a good thing and him and the setting of the start to the end of the war over 3 movies will work very well.
I do not know if many know the very crap video game that was set at the start of skynet and the first 2 legged terminators etc.
Basically it is humans fighting them and loosing / loose - slave caps, mass exterminations and resistance to resistance fighting back and defeating sky net so you can spread it over three movies and if you have done that you got a rich source of story there it seems planned.

Agreed, not getting my hopes up though. I really liked Equilibrium, even if only for the Gun-Kata. :)

What was that one with Milla J in it that was all green screen? Tried to rip off the same fight style and while some fights were good it was total crap

A Gun-Kata? Do elaborate, Ive not seen Equilibrium and that sounds intriguing.

Have you not? It is indeed not the most filling film in terms of story but its one based around the fighting concept which there is a good amount of and basically with the actors there is bulks up the film to be as said a good cult following movie and in the end not a bad one.
Worth a watch, you will like the Gun-Kata, more films with it in I say.

As for new Terminator films... I think we could be ok.
Batman - Awesome
Batman Return - Great
Batman Forever - Bad
Batman and Robin - Oh my god my eyes
Series reboot, add Bale
Batman Begins - Freaking hell thats even better than Burtons two films.
I have NEVER seen a Christian Bale film that has been less than awesome.
Saw Batman and Robin at the cinema as a friend pestered me to go as he was a huge Batman fan suffice it to say I'm still waiting for my money and 2 hours back.
especially these days Christian Bale picks his movies carefully so the scripts and what they shown him to agree to 3 movies must have been good enough.
I think they will be a hit now you do not have the restrictions you had in 3 and in a sense 1 with the technology. At some point you have to see arnies model to tie in back to 1 etc but it should be good seeing the war
Bloke who does comic book crap vs. Bloke who did *list of awesome action movies*. Yeah, I totally see how this dude is gonna make this cow tit pulling into a work of art.

Batman - Awesome if you were 8
Batman Return - Great if you were 9
Batman Forever - Bad if you were over 10
Batman and Robin - Oh my god my eyes if you had pubes

Its gonna be run by committee; marketed to death with the target audience of 13yr olds in mind. Itll be crap. They shouldnt be allowed to do it.
Victor J. Zolfo is one lead art guys and worked on some key films with good style for example, the staff they have on board are very strong tbh and there is a lot of costume and model people making these movies so it is not going to be a solid cgi fest.
What is wrong with McG?
Will be his first really big movie bar charlies angels but the team of writers and people around him are very good if you actually look at them, as well as the cast so far. These actuall have very big potential if they follow the style trend of good movies like batman and dark knight, iron man, the new hulk and so on.
These could be very good.
QuoteBut the producers promised not to disappoint fans of the time-travelling franchise, which has also spawned TV series The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
"Were both huge Terminator fans and were just approaching it from the point of view of what wed like to see," said Anderson.
"Any time were feeling pressure we just take a step back and say, as fans, what would we like to see?"
They actually think they done a good job with the Terminator series lol....... anything after Terminator 2 as been a joke and female terminators are the punchline.....

I disagree, whilst Terminator 3 was average at best the Sarah Connor Chronicles were enjoyable viewing in my opinion.
As it was said in the sarah conner chronicles thread better off forgeting about the movies and think of the tv series as something not linked directly to it in anyway......
Terminator 1 & 2 = Elite Premier Movies
Terminator 3 = Cardiac Arrest
Sarah Conner Chronicles = Special Bargain Budget Tv Series At The Local Funeral Parlour (There is those people in this world that slow down at a car crash)
Terminator needs the james cameron touch........
