James Cameron Sounds the Alarm on Artificial Intelligence and Unveils a 'Terminator' for the 21st Century

QuoteEllison, along with distributor Paramount (Fox has international rights), has persuaded Cameron, who on Sept. 25 began filming four Avatar sequels, to shepherd a new Terminator for the era of Amazon drones, Facebook news bots and artificial intelligence-fueled anxiety. Calling it "a return to form that I believe fans of the franchise have been wanting since Terminator 2: Judgment Day," Ellison, 34, has for the past year worked secretly with Cameron and Deadpool's Tim Miller, who will direct the untitled sequel for a July 26, 2019, release.

They assembled a writers room with scribes David Goyer, Charles Eglee, Josh Friedman and Justin Rhodes as well as Ellison, a lifelong Terminator fan (Cameron himself shows up once a week), and have crafted what they want to be a trilogy with Schwarzenegger, 70, and original star Linda Hamilton, 61, passing the torch to a young female lead.

I'm not convinced. I think they should just stop messing with the terminator, it's had its time. I can't bear to see it get messed up any more  >:(

I think that terminator genysis should be blasted into outer space and dropkicked onto the nearest asteroid, where it can hurtle through space and time, Hopefully never to be seen again!  I've never seen a more useless reboot of anything  :o I got about half way through that movie, and even THAT was a struggle  :pullhair: and I finally gave up on it after not being able to stand anymore the countless explanations of who was where, and why and when... Argh, absolute drivel!

So yeah, I'm not excited about them tampering with the story AGAIN  :tickedoff:

Blast off , 3......2......1!!! Let's all just push the button together,  and send it hurtling straight off into outer space... PRONTO!  Somebody must have done a good job of talking Arnie into signing up for such a cr@ppy script  :smiley6600:  Either that, or he really believed they'd do justice to his character.... Or he needed the cash  ???

And now after that rant, lol, I have a strange need to sing, let it go... From frozen  ;D

A fine film.  Pray Disney doesn't sequel that one to death like so many others.  :P

Your niece is a comedy genius , that's hilarious ... :DD I think this internet solution NEEDS to be shared ! If there's an actual clip of Loki (Tom Hiddlestons -Loki ) singing ,let it go....I'm literally gonna die laughing  :2funny:

That channel is not entirely niece-level material -- too much adult humor -- but the videos are often good. (There are a few other Loki-footage montages set to "Let It Go", too, around the internet but I stumbled on this one first. Also a truly heartbreaking montage to "Would You Like To Build A Snowman".)


Edited to add: I assume this is topically relevant to the thread by being a statement on the Terminator reboot plan by its total irrelevance.  O:-)

Maybe terminator G would've made more sense, if good Arnie had of been time traveling to catch Loki , instead of doing goodness knows "what "in that movie !  That's a funny clip though  ;D

And I thought going off topic was a requirement for being a grogheads , lol , sure I read that in the welcome brochere ..... :bd:
