Terminator 4: News, Rumors, and Speculation

I made a remarkable writing achievement??

when did that happen??

😄

😛

I think he means that it literally moulds out the entire hand into a variety of weapons, shotguns, pistols etc. The only problem with this is ammuntion. I've thought of this before T3 was released.

For sure, but take the matrix for example, its hard to watch the original (for the 27th time i might add) without knowing that theyve blown it with two very mediocre sequels.

Well I can understand that, I guess ...

The latest on the Terminator 4 production
Friday, September 24th, 2004

According to Variety, after a year in the development shop, "Terminator 4" is ready to be mobilized for a 2005 production start. Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines scribes John Brancato and Michael Ferris have completed a draft of a script that was developed under the supervision of "T3" director Jonathan Mostow.

C2 partners Mario Kassar and Andy Vajna are returning as producers, and "T3" financier Intermedia, which has underwritten development so far, will begin the process of setting up the coin for the picture. Company topper Moritz Borman is expected to engage the studios and distributors that bankrolled "T3."

Mostow, who took over the Terminator franchise from James Cameron, is expected to next direct an untitled thriller he scripted for Paramount. Intermedia will open formal negotiations shortly for a deal that would make "T4" Mostow's next directing job.

Schwarzenegger's availability is the big question mark, since he's engaged as governor of California. Discussions have already occurred for him to return for an encore, but the likelihood is that it would be in a limited role. Sources said the expectation is that "T4" will break in a new terminator model.

Intermedia will be meeting soon with Warner Bros., which distributed the film domestically, and Sony Pictures, which bought most of the international rights. Both of those studios have an option to serve the same roles in the fourth film. The film worked out nicely for both studios: The $175 million-budgeted pic grossed around $430 million worldwide. Distributors in other territories like Japan-based Toha Towa, will also get first crack at a reprise.

"T4" hasn't been formally budgeted, but the next film isn't expected to cost as much as the last. For one thing, advances in f/x technology should make shots more economical. There is also the removal of a $30 million line expenditure, which was Schwarzenegger's record-breaking upfront salary for "T3."

There is no word on whether Nick Stahl or Claire Danes has yet been approached for returns. Neither is believed to have been signed to an option agreement.

Terminator 4" will officially begin shooting in 2005, according to an article in today's Empire Online, but what about Governator Arnold? Despite his new role of terminating taxes, it turns out he might be back again.

If Schwarzenegger does reprise his role, it will not be as a lead in the new film, the article said. The script is nearly complete--penned by the same team who brought us "T3: Rise of the Machines"--and with Arnold busy in California politics, there's some creative flexibility to introduce a new model of terminator.

Jonathan Mostow ("Terminator 3," "U-571"😉 will direct. Rumors abound regarding casting (The Rock with an endoskeleton?), but there is no official word about who will be in the final credits.

Well if your familiar with comic books then you should know about the Fantastic Four. A group of Superheroes, one who stretches, the other turns on fire, the woman turns invisible, and the fourth has skin literally like a rcok and has super strength. Anyway they are filming the movie based on them and the picture on the left is of how he will look in the film when its released Summer 2005 and the one on the right is a picture of him in the 1994 Fantastic Four movie.

Well the long wait between T2 and T3 wasn't so much of a big deal as we never expected a T3 in the first place.

True.

And no one really thought Cameron would come back to do T2 I personally thought he had moved on.

Just as well he did though huh. I can't imagine the franchise being only T1.

I thought he had moved on because he had such success with Aliens and The Abyss, but he came back and gave us one of the best films in movie history and the most influential even to this day. If you saw the last episode of Smallville last Wendesday they kind of paid tribute to T2.
