O,4 Billie is still a billie, no ?

[TomCruiseTop]

Looks like a billie is back on the menu boys!

I try to make outlines of screened films to compare them to the final cut, just to track reshoots and the like. I'm posting this single paragraph from the outline because, as a geek, this woulda intrigued the fuck outta me.

 

Some spoilers about the current future status quo, but generally I find this bit more intriguing than super spoilery.

 

Spoiler

Driving scene. Sarah quizzes Grace about the future. They don’t have Skynet, they have Legion, a defense system (Sarah laughs at it all happening again). Governments tried to fry Legion with EMPs and Legion responded with nukes. Grace asks again why Sarah was on that bridge. Sarah says she occasionally receives encrypted text messages, many times years apart. The messages have coordinates. When she follows the coordinates, she finds a Skynet Terminator. Sarah then proceeds to kill the Terminator, every time. Every encrypted message is signed “For John.”

I have a question about visual effects, would be very appreciated if you answer.

 

Are Sarah, T-800 and John Connor digitally de-aged in the opening or they are just going to show their backs in slow motion without showing their faces? If former, does it look alright vfx-wise?

Excuse me, can you tell us again how you feel about it? Maybe tomorrow and the day after and the day after the day after tomorrow and...

 

 

Hopefully not like this the last 3 shitty ones. Even decent would be nice. Hoping for decent.

heroichollywood.com reports that "Terminator: Dark Fate" received very positive reactions from a test screening, so there is some hope. 

 

(heroichollywood.com also reveals some major spoilers, though.)

[cdsacken]

Awesome hope it's good.

If the leaks are real... oof.

 

Jim was right the first time T1/T2 are what he made, this is a different Jim 30+ years later.

Yeah the leaks... umm... wtf. How involved was he in writing the story? It reads like a quick rough draft. Interestingly people are saying the movie was a lot of fun. Too bad the trailer looks like hot garbage.

[ThePhasmid]

This series needs to embrace a distant utopian future where AI has taken over. This dystopian nonsense has been played out to a degree that has made the premise tired. Demolition Man is more prophetic at this point. GET WITH THE TIMES, TERMINATOR.

The movie details and plot have allegedly been leaked (Google it if you're curious). Impossible to know if they're accurate but they appear to be substantiated and not fake. I don't care about spoilers (I knew the Titanic was gonna sink, and Avatar had its entire plot in the trailer). Hard to judge the leaks without seeing the movie but they don't make the movie look great, although the leakers themselves said the movie was really solid.

but don't piss on it's grave

[lilmac]

I really have high hopes for this given Cameron's (apparent) creative involvement.

 

And of course, Linda Hamilton is back!

[Juby]

The leaks sound very bold, but also very, very dumb and bad. I'll give the film a chance, but I wouldn't be surprise now if this is going to bomb even harder, and my grade for this film would be 1/10.

What I want to see now is Jim Cameron from 1984 travel forward in time to stop these terrible sequels being made. 

 

Save us Jim!

What bothers me is Super Small spoiler

Spoiler

the lack of the original Terminator theme. Though, the film is still a rough cut, so the score can easily change.

 

[justvision]

T1 is still in my top 10 action movies, and T2 in top 20. If the leak is true, I don't know how the Terminator fans would receive it, perhaps like TLJ to some SW fans?
