Don't forget, it's the future he's coming from in the first place. That's were they are!
And why did all those models that came to the past look like him? If the movie is about that part of the timeline, we may need dozens of Arnies to make it all more probable.

That might actually work for me, you can use Arnold to explain Skynet's using Arnold to create the T800 used to infultrate human settlements. But no time travel.

GL has been intimately involved with every single SW film ever made, either as creator, story outliner, director, executive producer, etc. I truly don't think you would want to see a Star Wars film that didn't involve Lucas in one of those capacities.

 

[Jeff Cooper]

I believe from my memory of the movies, that in the future there were several different looks to the terminators. When we see a flash forward of a terminator infiltrating the resistance base, it doesn't look like Arnold. The Terminator that was sent back in the first movie just happened to be the Arnold model. I believe it was explained that the next ones that were sent back were chosen to be the same Arnold style ones so that the Connors would recognize and relate to them, or something like that. So it is left open within the storyline that it doesn't have to be Arnold, and that wouldn't break the continuity.

Well, what I meant is that having a T-800 Arnie-lookalike coming back from the future yet again seems a bit of a cliche -- one could almost imagine John Connor going "oh no not again..." as the Governator shows up.

So a future war, with just exoskeletons and other machines going at it full-bore might be interesting - although I can imagine that without the Arnie element, it could be seen as just another sci-fi movie and not a Terminator movie? Oh well. Let's see.

Well, Lucas needs to stay far away from directing, writing and editing. I guess his only real talents are in coming up with the stories and concepts.

When did T4 become the jump on Lucas thread?

 

[BrettGallman]

Come on Tim, didn't you know that the entire internet is a giant thread made specifically for bashing George Lucas?

 

[MikeRS]

Best. Director. Eva.

 

[Chris Atkins]

One would think that this would be the "jump on Mostow" thread...

 

[TravisR]

I'd say that the internet exists solely bash George Lucas but Brett beat me to it.

 

[AaronMan]

Mostow sucks too. But I thought that was a given.

 

[Todd H]

As bad as Terminator 3 sucked, I think they need to let the Terminator series die a dignified death.

 

[Chris Atkins]

I enjoyed T3 in the theater, not so much the second and third time. Still, I think there is enough material to make for an entertaining film.

LOL, awesome photo!

Here's my pride and joy that I have hanging up.


I won't say no to a 4th Terminator, but I don't expect another T2 out of this franchise.

 

[AaronMan]

I always thought the point of the Terminator films, especially the second one, was that it was about preventing war. T2 was actually a pretty good anti-war movie. I liked how in the first two, they showed glimpses of the future war, showing how terrible it would be. Then T3 came along and said, "Nope, there's going to be a war alright, forget those other two movies."

Having a Terminator movie set in the future war sort of goes completely against the first two. And its a big sell-out idea by the studios.

The Terminator is nothing without James Cameron.

 

[Chris Atkins]

The Terminator is more than James Cameron. Arnie and Linda Hamilton were also integral to the success of the first two films.

 

[Chuck Mayer]

Well, we had a Terminator film without Cameron, and I disliked it. A LOT. So I'd be willing to bet Cameron is far more vital to the series than Arnold or Linda.

But I think Cameron is more vital to his films than any other element in them. So I am biased.

As for T4, is Cameron involved? No? Then I have zero interest.

 

[TravisR]

That was my biggest problem with the movie too. The first two say that 'The future is not set' but T3 just says that those two other movies are wrong and the future is set.

 

[Chuck Anstey]

Actually that was one thing I thought was great about T3. I take it as "Humankind's fate is for this war to be inevitable because we keep playing around with and improving technology". The original SkyNet was just one way for it to happen but it would happen another way if we keep screwing around with technology and could not be avoided . "We" have no fate as in the whole human race but the human race didn't change, only two people, and that was not enough to stop the inevitable.
