O.k. here’s the deal, The Terminator franchise has sucked since part two, and the new movie didn’t impress me at all. The only thing that could have saved Terminator Salvation was at the end John Connor (Christian “I need a cough drop” Bale) died and the new Terminator (Sam Worthington) took his identity and saved mankind. But the world doesn’t work the way I want it to and today there is news that original franchise writer Bill Wisher has treatments written for part fifth and sixth of the series done and it blows away any thing we’ve heard so far.
Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Wisher who co-wrote Terminator and T2 has a 24 page treatment for Terminator 5 and four page concept out line for 6. Deadlines Mike Fleming had the privilege to read them both and here’s what he had to say:
"As a 'Terminator' fanboy myself, I think Wisher has done a terrific job with a plot that accepts the storylines from Jonathan Mostow’s 'Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines' and McG’s 'Terminator: Salvation.' Most interestingly, he turns the story back to the core characters and time travel storyline of the first two films that Wisher crafted with Cameron.
Wisher’s 2-picture construct takes place in a post-apocalyptic battleground, and factors in an element of time travel that allows for Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese to interact beyond their single fateful meeting when he traveled back in time to protect her in the original film. Wisher has created a role for Arnold Schwarzenegger that is as surprising as his shift from villain in the first film, to John Connor’s bodyguard in the second. Schwarzenegger wouldn’t be needed until the final film, which wouldn’t shoot until after he ends his term as California Governor.
There are several new villains, and plenty of firepower. For instance, a swarm of 'Night Crawlers,' 4 1/2-foot tall border sentries that are set like mines to spring up out of the ground and ambush rebel fighters with 10 MM pistols built into their wrists, and fingers and feet that are razor sharp. Also fresh off the Skynet assembly line are new shape-shifting cyborgs that can morph together in Transformers-like mode, and are more lethal than anything we’ve seen in previous 'Terminator' installments.
Wisher presents a satisfying conclusion to what by then would be a 6-picture struggle between Skynet’s machines and John and Sarah Connor to preserve a future that allows mankind to prevail over the machines."
Well that was more satisfying then the last two movies combined. I think BCMB is going to add another category “GEEK PORN”, because just reading this made me excited for more. No, I’m just kidding. I couldn’t call it Geek porn because then I would get those people who thought my site has bondage pictures of Princess Leia Organa on it.
Any who, this at least has me excited to see more of the Terminator!
