Terminator – What would you do with the franchise?

Since Cameron jumped off the ship and MGM (Was it?) decided to rape the franchise for all the money it was worth, Terminator hasn’t been doing too well but if you was to get the rights to make a terminator film what would you do with it?

Here are some of Joss Whedon’s suggestions to inspire you…

  1. Terminator… of the Rings! Yeah, what if he time-travelled TOO far… back to when there was dragons and wizards? (I think it was the Dark Ages.) Hasta La Vista, Boramir! Cool, huh? “Now you gonna be Gandalf the Red!” RRRRIP! But then he totally helps, because he’s a cyborg and he doesn’t give a s#&% about the ring – it has no power over him! And he can carry it AND Frodo AND Sam AND f@%& up some orcs while he’s doing it. This stuff just comes to me. I mean it. (I will also offer $10,000 for the Lord of the Rings franchise).
  2. More Glau. Hey. There’s a reason they’re called “Summer” movies.
  3. Can you say… musical? Well don’t. Even I know that’s an awful idea.
  4. Christian Bale’s John Connor will get a throat lozenge. This will also help his Batwork (ten grand for that franchise too, btw.)
  5. More porn. John Connor never told Kyle Reese this, but his main objective in going to the past was to get some. What if there are a lot of future-babies that have to be made? Cue wah-wah pedal guitar – and dollar signs!
  6. The movies will stop getting less cool

How about a terminator that travels back to the black mesa incident to kill G-Man… Not a great (Or even good) suggestion but you get the idea

Aliens vs Predator vs Terminators

Let it rest in peace.

Next box office hit.

Apparently the co-writer of the second movie has a great script. I am not sure, but if he was in anyway involved with the second movie, he should be taken seriously. Very seriously.

#6

terminate it.

T3 and T4 suffered from the lack of the memorable catchphrases that made T2 so great. Fortunately for the franchise, Christian Bale’s on-set rage provided them with a plethora of made-to-order catchphrases for the next film. I will be sorely dissapointed if this isn’t referenced.

#8

Didn’t T4 absolutely milk the one-liners from the first 2?

#9

You can’t really save the franchise at this point. The next one will be called TV…

#10

They pretty much have to, what else are they going to do? But it’s all Arnold-based lines, there’s only so much you can do with “I’ll be back” before it gets repetitive. On the other hand, lines like “For FUCK’s sake, man, you’re amateur!” and “you and me, we’re fuckin’ DONE professionally!” have tons of applications for various scenes that could come up.

#11

I liked “La di da di DA!”

#12

Official LEGO sets.

#13

Well, there was “Come with me if you want to live”.

#14

Make a band.

Oh, wait.

#15

Is it just me or does the Predator just look like a dude in a mask?

Oh and on topic: I would quickly take steps to disown anything after T2, take the franchise and put it into a nice glass case and never touch it again.

#16

There was that.

#17

Well, technically, the Predator is just a dude in a mask.

#18

A really ugly motherfucker in a mask, to be technical.

#19

Oh man, I haven’t seen that comic in years. Parents bought it for me when I was like 4, thought it was the most kickass comic I’d ever seen. then I lost it and now I can’t remember how it goes.

Not sure why the video continues a minute after the song ends…

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
