Well you see, Idol had traveled back in time, and...well...it gets confusing from there...
LOL. I goofed. It was Terminator 2 that Billy was considered for the T-1000. He would have fit the role, Though Robert Patrick was great. In real life however, Billy cannot be destroyed by conventional weapons. He also likes long walks on the beach and puppies.
The problem with Hollywood these days is that they get ready to reboot a franchise and then the reboot fails and they have a second reboot... Wasn't the whole Terminator: Salvation sort of a re-boot? I guess they just gave up on that trilogy...
Like we're on our second Superman reboot and a reboot of Spiderman from a fairly well-received film trilogy that just ended not that long ago, we've had like three different actors playing the Incredible Hulk, we're getting more Star Wars sequels that will sort of be a reboot, we rebooted James Bond(that one actually worked though) and Star Trek was rebooted as basically high action Star Wars films with younger actors after about fifteen different TV series and two movie series already... Stallone keeps coming back to make sequels to franchises that should've been put to bed in the 80s for chrissakes...
You know where the interesting film epics are being produced these days? Cable television... These days The Godfather films would be a TV show. Game of Thrones is based on a book series, but at least it's something that hasn't been put on film before--it's far more interesting than most of these CGI superhero cartoons that can churned out every summer. Iron Man and the Avengers was good, but a lot of the rest are visually impressive, yet I forget what I just saw a day later...
Terminator 2 has a nice ending that could've just wrapped up the films right there--or they could've made Terminator 3 with James Cameron instead of bringing in a new director. But here we go we some Terminator 4 retread--great...

Yup. All the great creativity in film drama these days is on TV, not the movies.
With the collapse of the DVD market, studios are placing their hopes on foreign markets, and in order to do that they don't need good movies. They need franchises. Hence all the sequels, remakes, reboots, etc. I honestly don't care all that much. TV is better than movies now anyway.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I want to remember Terminator as it was. I actually enjoyed all 4 Terminator movies. I even enjoyed The Sarah Connor Chronicles that was on TV.
But, this is Hollywood. Always willing to destroy an old movie to remake into a new movie and cash cow this movie again.
I agree with hollywood running out of ideas.
I have an idea. Why not bring back and expand on the SyFy series Dune, Children of Dune, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, and Caprica. This would make for some interesting movies.
Because they have nothing good to make anymore so they take GOLDMINES and ruin them!!
I agree. usually remakes and reboots leave out things in the plot, Or a message in the story or even changing things about the whole character or back story that was important to begin with. They are remaking/rebooting so far classics like the Terminator, Robocop, They live, Child's play and others. They remade Friday the 13th, Halloween and Nightmare on Elm street and it was awful. But movie fans, Especially of Sci-Fi and Horror franchises will watch it either at the theater or on cable. Why? Because of our being fans, Being curious, And hoping they do it right. Some do, Most don't. Nostalgia is a powerful thing. And it can mean big green for the film industry. Even Godzilla is getting a reboot again. The one they made in the 90's was awful, But when I was a kid I was a huge fan sitting in front of the TV eating Captain crunch and watching Kaiju mayhem I remember it fondly and will still see it at some point. And hopefully not yell BullS**t! and walk out of the theater. Many of you may relate.
I would use Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert Patrick and that woman whose name escapes me playing Skynet scientists their real current age who once made terminators in their own youthful image.
