re: Terminator 5 (Reboot)
Yes, Reese's Future War has been a dream of mine since I saw the first movie. With each subsequent sequel it became less and less possible because they kept building on the crap from the previous movie and so on, further and further away from the original. What Reese tells about is enough to fill three movies.
A post apocalyptic survival movie where no one knows what's going on and what happened - a lot of angst and anxiety and wild rumors and anger and apathy. Then the machines start showing up - at first people hearing about it don't believe it - but they are rounded up and put into camps. This is basically Book of Eli crossed with any WW2 concentration camp movie.
Second one could be the beginning of the resistance, where they fight back and storm the wires and start actively waging war on the HK machines.
Third one is the final build-up and battle to storm Skynet to end the war and send Reese back. It isn't until this one that we see Terminators start popping up. First as the rubber skinned 600 series that takes everyone by surprise, then later as the 800 series that is impossible to spot without dogs.
The reason no movie studio has the balls to do this... it's too dark, it's too "realistic", it's too gritty, it follows what Reese said in T1 - a writer might feel constrained by following plotlines that everybody know (except, just hire a ******* writer who's used to write book adaptions and write movie scripts about real events where the story is already known - the excuse is just LAZY! Hey... just look at Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit - it CAN be done) + it won't have terminators until the third movie.
I just wish the rumor that Annapurna Pictures are considering starting from scratch, rebooting the whole thing, is false. There's just no need for it. All the sequels are just alternate timelines... so there's no reason to reboot... just stick with the T1 timeline and don't get idiotic creative and have terminator caddies and Skynet that KNOWS Kyle Reese is John Connor's father. PUKE.
