Terminator experiences Salvation: T4 is comming.
Yesterday, a blog from Dark Horizons has word of a fourth Terminator movie in the works.
Warner Bros. has acquired North American distrib rights to “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins,” triggering an early 2008 production start for a film that seeks to reinvent the cyborg saga with a storyline to be told over a three-pic span.
WB plans to distribute “Terminator Salvation” in summer 2009.
“The Phantom Menace” part deux? After the debacle that was T3, and the upcoming “Sarah Conner Chronicles” series, one has to wonder if the Terminator franchise as any high-powered ammo left. Also, seeking to “reinvent the cyborg saga” may turn away hardcore fans of T1 and T2 who not only want the action, but a solid and compelling story behind it. If we learned anything from Star Wars I - III it’s that effects don’t mean dick without a good story or intriguing characters… and it really won’t mean dick if we have to face a robotic Jar-Jar Binks who can only kill by annoying everyone!
As always, when T4 (and “The Sarah Conner Chronicles”) is released we will have a review of it. Hopefully, it will be worth watching to write a review.

Hopefully, logic will prevail and machines from the future will be sent back in time to stop this movie being made.
And Michael Biehn will refuse to be sent back to avert this :P.

OMG!!! YEAH!!! One of my favourite cyberpunkish movies will be continued!

Is he really going to do another film and be governor at the same time?
That would be seriously impressive as they are both pretty demanding jobs.
Also what the hell is wrong with T3?!!?!

It is wrong because it was not made by James Francis Cameron (T,T2) T3 lost this dark cyberpunkish climate… hope T4 will be as good as T & T2

I watched the pilot for “The Sarah Connor Chronicles” (Connor has two Os) last night, and while I may have been biased because of the surprise presence of Summer Glau (from firefly) I actually quite enjoyed it. It seems like a rehash of terminator 2, but since it’s got a bit more then two hours to tell its story I’m left wondering what’s next. Anticipating actually. So despite its beginnings being so blaintly … stolen. It told its story (which takes place a few years after t2) quite well and didn’t bother with extremely flashy graphics. Both pluses in my book.
The characters are sort of simple but back to the way I remember them from T2. Except flashier, While (looking this up..) Lena Headey does justice to Sarah Connor playing a strong paranoid emotionally wrought woman who has to protect the human race though her son, she was definitely cast for the way she looks in a miniskirt too.
For a pilot it did good, but I want to see more before I pass judgment, it still could go either way as they’ve burned though the stolen t2 plot and ended it with a very good premise for a series.

Looks like Lena Headey was the queen in “300″. That makes a bit of sense to me.

Oh GAAAWWDDD NOOOO.
Those marketing dickheads are out there.
They can’t be bargained with, they can’t be reasoned with. They don’t feel pity or remorse or fear and they absolutely will not stop.
Ever! Until the franchise is dead.

Well, I hope t4 will be the missing link between 1 and 3 to get the whole story of the human/machine war. Time is right for a good robo animation, like transformers.

First: I hope T4 shows the year 2029. I want 2 hours of war and post-nuclear ruins!
Second: With CGI you can put the face of Schwarzenegger over the T-800 chassis.
Third: If the movie dont play in the year 2029 so FUCK IT!
Sincerely yours,

I hope Summer Glau makes an appearance in T4, even if she’s not the main terminator that’s ok. I think she’s really doing a good job in Sarah Connor Chronicles as the good terminator.
