re: Terminator 5 (Reboot)
This is a cool idea, I just watched Terminator and T2 for the 1st time in years (my daughter's 1st time seeing either) I saw T3 a long time ago but was really disappointed so I never bothered with 4. I doubt the formula you described would be attempted again though (remember Superman Returns?), as mass audiences don't seem to go for the whole "forget what we said before" notion. :lol
Edit: Arnold should forget about playing an "ageless" machine and get busy swinging a sword again!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I couldn't read all post, but what I think would needed to do:
1. Forget T3 and T4
2. Go back to the source T1 + T2
3. Take the strength of story-telling from TSCC and some elements, like the development of JC, how he accepted his fate, etc.
4. Start from the future war, let JC tell in an OV, how this have been so far to 2021 to keep an option for the final T6 movie set in 2027 and take the concept of T1 never realized, the room of Termies with Arnold's face and how JC sends Reese back, that'll be a great end
(i.e. "…since my mother told me about the future, it has been in a constant state of flux, things have turned out differently, I remember things, that never happend and yet for me, it's been so clear that it can't be a dream… Not like those nightmares my mother and father had from the future. The nature of time are as unpredictable as Skynet's next move, and still… my fate and the fate of humanity are set.")
5. Most important: stick to what Reese said about the old Termies 600 Series: human sized, rubber/silicone skin like in TSCC. Keep all Skynet hardware like in the Future War dreams, no Harvester and stuff that the hack McG wanted
6. Geez, cast someone, who at least looks like Michael Edwards, the original Connor of T2, but a bit younger
