Terminator (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7411013.stm)

This could be interesting.
He does a great job in Batman Returns.
He's good at interjecting some lightness in heavy roles, if the script provides them.

Very cool, and 3 films...NICE!

[bobman1235]

I like the Terminator series, but this being a sequel... is it set in like, post-apocalyptic machine world? If so it would have to be REAL good for me to be interested.

I do like Bale though, so maybe it'll work out.

[Early B.]

Arnold's gotta be in it; otherwise, I'm not as interested in it. Bale is great choice, though.

[Ron-P]

I can do with Arnold, a new fresh face to the Terminator could be nice, or, just go with a different model Terminator and therefore you'd not need Arnold.

Bring it on! Nothing like having good flicks coming out to pass the time away with...

[Meeks32]

Since Arnold is too old now to play the terminator I think it would be cool if he just played a human in John connors camp who gets captured by the machines & thats where they get design for the T100. Dunno, he needs to be in this one somehow though.

F*ck yes

[Music Joe]

Sweet! I'm there if I'm alive :D

I was interested, until I read; "US rap star Common will also have a lead role in the film"

[PhantomOG]

I loved T2 when I was younger. I hated T3. Never watched the TV show, looked kinda cheesy.

"Charlie's Angels director McG is directing the new film, which is due to be released on 22 May 2009. "

eeeek!

Charlies angels = suck

What do you have against Common?

[MacLeod]

Rap stars generally make really horrible actors. Never heard of Common tho.

Im not really fired up about this one. Im sure Ill see it but T1 and T2 were just epic movies for me but T3 was pretty weak and the TV show looked really lame with the pretty little 110 pound terminator chick. Not that I have anything against hot little chicks, but I just find it laughable when theyre supposed to be bad asses. Same thing with the new Battlestar Galactica. Seeing a 5'2" blonde cheerleader acting like a hardass just cracks me up and I cant take it seriously.

The only 2 chicks able to convincingly pull off the Jane Wayne thing were Sigourney Weaver in the Alien movies and Linda Hamilton in T2.

I guess Uwe Boll was unavailable.

The TV show turned out to be pretty cool I thought.

You left out Milla Jovovich aka Alice (Resident Evil series), Violet (Ultraviolet), and Leeloo (The Fifth Element).


As for Bale, I think he can pull it off depending on the script but, yeah, I don't expect it to be a mega-blockbuster like T1 and T2.

Useless trivia. T1 was supposed to be a low budget low profit flick behind that year's predicted sci-fi blockbuster that flopped: Runaway.

[John in MA]

Runaway was a decent movie. Anything with robotic spiders and Gene Simmons shooting people with heat-seeking missiles can't be all bad.
