Terminator: Genisys

Re: Terminator: Genesis

I hope they actauly don't do to much to "re-age" him, He's older some how, some way, think of good way to explain it and move on, when all is said and done it's the Endo underneath thats the real killer and any flesh, is just a disguise....... That's presuming he's even a Terminator in the film..... Has it been confimed he will be a Terminator or is it just speculation ?
 
Re: Terminator: Genesis

Rationally explaining why a T-800 might look 43, or 55, or 68 years old . . that has never been the problem.

IMO the T1 Arnold only looks scarier to us because of our association with the scarier T-800 character and Arnold being younger. Given the choice of both looks in 1984, I think the T2/T3 look might have been deemed scarier than the shaggy early T1 look.


It looks like Arnold's hairline itself was getting higher & more receded in T2 and T3 than the first movie.

Come to think of it, I'm kinda surprised the makeup people didn't bring his hairline back down a bit for T3. They were standing on their heads trying to make Arnold look younger by then. Playing with hairlines is a common movie trick to fake age changes.

Arnie's styling in T3 was awful.
I mean for some reason he didn't look himself, especially his face.

Only a year earlier in 2002 in Collateral Damage, he didn't look much different than he did in T2.

When T3 came out though his face looked puffier and his hairline was awful.

On top of that, the T3 Leather jacket was terrible. T2's leather jacket was perfect. I don't know why they went with such a crappy style jacket for T3. It looks stupid.
 
Re: Terminator: Genesis

I may be wrong but I recall something along the lines of Collateral Damage being shelved for up to two full years. Its also possible Arnold had his major surgeries AFTER filming that one. T3 was rushed and it shows. Just a horrid film.
 
Re: Terminator: Genesis

If that was the one where he was a fireman (which I didn't see) it was delayed because it had a plane crash scene. It was right after 9/11.
 
Re: Terminator: Genesis

IIRC, didn't Arnie go from being WAY out of shape to WAY in shape in a matter of months for T3? When they were gearing up to do T3 I recall there being a lot of talk that Arnie was not in any condition for it.


If his hair & face went bad at the same time then it may have been fallout from a blast of steroids. Higher Testosterone levels will kick the living ***** out of skin & hair quality. (Just look at the natural difference between women and men.)

I'm sure Arnold is no stranger to steroids. And the rumor mill says its common for male movie stars these days to spend a few months on steroids to bulk up for their superhero roles.

Makes sense. Load up a 66 year old man who's had heart surgery on steroids for a movie that really doesn't need him in it to begin with.

I'm sure te actors that do juice for their roles aren't senior citizens.

Re: Terminator: Genesis

Now, that actually sounds interesting! I had never thought of that. If they are going to do it, do it in a Back to the Future 2 way. A movie within a movie. I could go for the whole movie being done that way. A terminator story happening while using the first two movies as a backdrop.
 
Re: Terminator: Genesis

It does make sense to use different humans as models, otherwise everytime someone sees an Ahnold model, they just say "yep thats a machine, get 'im!" Skynet cant be that careless to use one body for thousands of machines, they always want the upperhand and take humans by surprise
 
Re: Terminator: Genesis

When has the decision to have a T-800 look like Arnold ever - EVER - been a very logical one?

Not in 1984, when he stood out for his size.
Not in 1991, when he stood out for his size, he was wanted by the authorities in our time, and would terrify Sarah Connor.
Not in 2003, when the actor was way too old for the role.
Not in 2009, when it was a very expensive crowd-pleasing cameo and little else.


The closest it gets to logical is perhaps in 1991. The actor was still inside the age range. It could be argued that the future human resistance had to take whatever T-800 they could catch and reprogram.

But that's still a stretch IMO. If the future human resistance was powerful enough to get to the skynet time machine stuff then they were probably in a position to catch more than one single T-800 to choose for such an important mission. And the downsides of sending back another Arnold-looking version were significant.


T-800s only look like Arnold to sell movie tickets. Every time. All other reasoning, ever, has been engineered to fit that purpose.

Re: Terminator: Genesis

I like the idea of many diferent types, why not model 101,102,103............. They touched on it in the first film and it's one of the things I did like about TSCC, the whole idea is that you just never know until it to late, thats was supposed to be the point of them "infiltrator units"
 
Re: Terminator: Genesis

On Set! It's a warzone!

Hurry, before it gets taken down!

Dang, Paramount already pulled the video. There were some pretty spectacular explosions on-set there. I'm excited for this!
