Film & TV Arnold Schwarzenegger eyeing return to 'Terminator' franchise........

...but he needs to see a script first

He’ll be back… if the script is right. Arnold Schwarzenegger has given Hollywood agency CAA approval to discuss a potential new Terminator movie with studios, a source close to the star confirms to EW, but until Schwarzenegger sees a script and specifics about the project, he will not fully commit to it. Director Justin Lin (who helmed this weekend’s Fast Five) is reportedly attached to direct the film, but it does not yet have a screenwriter.
The rights to the franchise were sold to hedge fund Pacificor last year in a deal worth $29.5 million after Halcyon Holding — which had acquired the franchise in 2007 — declared bankruptcy. Sony and Lionsgate had attempted to jointly bid for the property, but the bankruptcy judge awarded it to the Santa Barbara, Calif.-based hedge fund management company instead.

The most recent film in the sci-fi franchise, 2009′s Terminator Salvation, grossed $371 million worldwide, but did not star Schwarzenegger (although his computer-generated likeness did make a brief cameo in the film’s final act). The former California governor’s last starring role was in 2003′s Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (global gross: $433 million), and he continues to be strongly identified with the cybernetic assassin that helped propel him to superstardom. EW reported exclusively last month that Schwarzenegger’s first post-governor gig would be the animated series The Governator, a play off of the title combining “governor” and “Terminator” that became synonymous with his tenure running California’s government before he even had the job. “When I ran for governor back in 2003 and I started hearing people talking about ‘the Governator,’ I thought the word was so cool,” Schwarzenegger told EW last month. With so many speculating over what live-action role he will take on first now that he’s left the governor’s mansion, it’s not a huge surprise that while the 63-year-old is done being governor, he may not quite be done being the terminator.

1 word. Cunt.

 

[Ristol]

I went into T3 with hope. Won't make that mistake again.

 

[Flipmo]

Don't hate on Arnold. T3 was bad cause of the script, not Arny. You bitch.

 

[Shadows]

Exactly. IT actually wasn't THAT bad either.
but still fuck Arnold.

So tell me if I have this wrong: the machines sent back the Terminator to kill John Connor, and John Connor responded by sending back the dude to protect his younger self, but then the dude ended up having sex with Sarah Connor and fathering John; so if the cyborgs never sent back the Terminator to kill John, HE NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN BORN AT ALL. I have tried to explain this to my parents over dinner and it's a serious mindfuck.

We had a thread about this when Terminator: Salvation was released, Gotti explained it perfectly. It still remained a mind-fuck to me, but it was an epic thread.

That being said, I only read the first line of your post and don't know if whatever I said had anything to do with your post.

Cheers

This is why the great first movie makes no fuckin' sense and it pisses me off.

Terminator Final Justice-- Arnold comes back not to kill John Conner but his daughter Megan Conner played by Miley Cyrus, its 2075..arnold comes back to stop megan from having a singing career. as Megan has a high pitch sound that would destroy all Terminators. Vin Diesel as a LAPD cop who *you guessed it* drives a cop car around town trying to catch Arnold, unfortunately Vin and the cop car get blowed up arnolds bazooka. Dwayne *The Rock * Johnson is also in the movie as the record executive who wants to sign megan. But in the end Arnold breaks The Rocks spine in half.
seriously they dont need to make anymore. Arnold is too old.

Thanks for explaining the only two possible scenarios as if there was a hidden third one.
