Plans to remake the original TERMINATOR....
« on: October 29, 2006, 08:42:45 AM »
According to the MGM chief operating officer Rick Sands, the new Terminator films will be reinvented. Sands revealed this week that the studio is now searching for a new star to headline the next "Terminator" movie, according to Variety.

"It's like the "Batman" or "Superman" franchise in that it lends itself to having different actors in the roles," he said, adding that the film will not be called "Terminator 4".

T2 was largely a copy of the orginal with a few new ideas & larger budget.

That would be the end of action movies.

Colin Farrell should play the guy that Michael Biehn played in the original - they look pretty alike.

I always thought the first movie was by far the best. The two sequals weren't hardcore and gritty like T1. That and the plots were inferior.

It's too early to remake the film anyway - it was made in 1984 and still looks half decent even by today's standards of CGI effects. And who would you get to play the Terminator?

The funny thing about it is that the orginal was low-budget. Good movies don't have to require that much money. Schwarzenegger lucked out with an unknown director who took him to the next level from the level of B-level Conan action movies.

The sequel was just as good; much of it was the same idea with a couple of new twists added and good F/X.

The studios have an overall problem in coming up with decent movies.

I bet they wouldn't have him X out 17 cops in the police station like in the real T1.   Too un-PC.

That happened decades ago with no one shot to death in T2 and a woman in T3.

My point is that if they remade the original, I'd put money down that they somehow avoid the cop killing scene.  whether skipping it, using some sort of disable technique (the murderous T1 suddenly decides to use knockout gas hahahaha), etc.

Already done, 15 years ago-in T2 he deliberately wounded all the cops, bowing to PC concerns.

True, but AS was the good guy in that movie, and yes, it was PC.

the question is, will they rewrite the original T1 script?  If most of the movie is the same, except he "knocks out" all the cops, I'll be pretty disappointed.
