Rewrites ether way are a sign the script isn’t that good.
The way MCG is bragging about Nolan doing rewrites is comical.
Like saying we got the best guy rewriting the script. Hey that’s great MCG but your supposed to do that before you start shooting.

Not all films have rewrites. Star Trek 11 for example will have to stand on its own without any.

The more I think about this the more I have question the logic of handing MCG the Terminator franchise.

To be fair, on-set rewrites are commonly done with these kind of high-profile mega-budget tentpoles.

However, the filmmakers tend to keep a lid on them. But considering the I-N-S-A-N-E success/popularity of THE DARK KNIGHT, McG couldn’t restrain himself from name-dropping Jonathan Nolan’s participation.

Keep in mind, Paul Haggis also did a polish before Nolan got involved.

Jamie.

I think the footage looks awesome, but I also see how it could easily pass for an entirely-non-terminator franchise sci-fi flick.

I can see the MCG telling Nolan, that’s gotta be in the script and Nolan walking away,,,
rolling eyes “yeah sure MCdonald”

Let’s face it we ether stop Skynet before it kills everyone the end(boring), or we go into the future war chapter where we see it all go down.

There’s still time to reverse the damage that Skynet has done if they can stop the TX from going to 2004 and shut down the Time Machine. (There’s still time,) that should be the catch phrase of the new film, not the Future begins.

Their screwing it up.

Nolan’s rewrites are so telling of how this is going. Ask anyone in movies, when there rewriting the script as they go, that basically means the original script is really average or bad and the actors and Director are trying to fix it as they go. They can’t stop and completly redo it so they have to settle for rewrites and make adjustments,,,
usualy resulting in a bad or average movie.

I remember reading how James Cameron shot T2 in something like like 3 months and had the film edited within a year. He had to make a summer deadline, there was no time for major rewrites.

So here we are Mario Kassar/Carolco sells the rights to the Terminator films and we end up with a Director everyone hates, a 3 picture story that looks like its trying to hard and all kinds of radical changes to the future war story. (Marcus a terminator from 2004) oh boy.

We have Harvesters that scoop humans up with a large claw type hand, (is that really practical). The novelised books of T1 and T2, talk about the future war in greater detail, they say that most survivors were rounded up by T-400 model’s. The ppl were too weak to resist and went to the Skynet concentration camps much like the Jews during WW2, there were no 100ft tall Harvesters walking around. (Oh boy)
The T-600 models were not used for shooting anything that moves, (as MCG likes to say) they were the prototype infiltration models that were sent into the resistence strong holds to gather intell and then kill the resistence cell if possible. They were used more for recon as they could get close to the resistance as they had rubber skin and could fool sentrys at night. Most battles took place at night because that was the best cover the resistance had going. (Covered in T1)

I’m certainly not impressed by the Harvester concept and the T-600′s. The T-600′s look like T-800′s. (Oh man) is the rubber skin some kind of big reveal or what. (Again this is dumb).

They should have shown a T-600 with half its rubber skinned face blown off in the poster.
(Gheesh)

All I can do is stand by and watch these hacks butcher a solid future war story that has allready practically been written in T1.
Depressing,
but I’m going to thearpy so hopfully I won’t relapes into my 5 tube a day AMT model glue sniffing habit.

Keep those T4 warnings a comming!
