Wouldnt be a bad idea to have Robert Patrick in a role where he would be somekind of a scientist. Not sure about him studying stem cells though. Someone trying to find a way to make people stay young is post judgement-day years where theres a limited amount of everything you could think of would be lame. MCG should have his role be somthing like him being a scientist and being held captive by SKYNET to not only build T-800′s on a large scale but also forcing him to build somthing that would surpass the T-800 series. Which we all know would be the prototype of the T-1000. Somthing like that MCG should write in the script, not that stem cell research idea.

after the fallout from Terminator Salvation I wouldn’t be surprised if MCG and all his ideas are scrapped…

It’s not that original an idea (no that much is anymore). A similar plot device was used to get Lance Henriksen into Alien 3. He shows up as a the scientist who designed the android, Bishop in Aliens.
That aside, there is just no reason for Robert Patrick to make an appearance, let alone any other Terminator alum. It forces the writer(s) to ask and answer the question, “How can we get him in the movie?” or to put a finer point on it, “What stupid, contrived plot point can we create to get him in the movie.”
Writing the movie around the desire to see Robert Patrick in a Terminator movie again is the wrong way to go.

WOOOTTT, speaking of Robert Patrick and T1000, I just saw that they did in fact release a new version of T2 on Blu-Ray. They call it Skynet Edition, lol. I can’t see the details on it since I’m at work and amazon is blocked, I just see it on imdb.com (which isn’t blocked) as a new release Blu-Ray… Wooooooooootttt.

Yah, when I read the reviews on the previous, only, edition of T2 on blu-ray, people said it had no special features, no deleted scenes, it was just the theatrical release and was of the same quality as a DVD, so they didn’t even retransfer from the original film, they simply transferred from the DVD… How lame…

This time I’m hoping they transferred from the original film stock and put in all of the special features and deleted scenes… I’m buying it, lol.

The idea of Robert Patrick being a scientist who eventually leads to the creation of the T-1000 works just fine for me. I just don’t see how the juvenile diabetes thing would crossover into a liquid metal-man. Make him a government scientist in an underground facility and that’d work a little better…

But hey, I’m not the writer or anything, I guess time will tell with this one. Still a long ways off anyways.

I love that in contrast to Jonathan Mostow MCG uses his brain and actually is die-hard passionate about the franchis. He’s the fuel of this revival and he so far only has presented good ideas to me.

As for what you said about loose ends in the new franchise. Are we sure that T4 will go as far within timeline as to the T1000′s creation? It seems to be the case that it will happen in T5. That’s probably what will happen in T5. The terminator being focused on in this upcoming movie probably is the T800 knowing they’ve resurrected Schwarzengger year 84 for it digitally.

I hope you’re kidding about Loken as well…. No, she won’t be back…

It’s funny, 790, I always did kind of wish to have a cameo in T4 by Earl Bowen; of all the folks to survive a nuke…Dr. Silberman! Note that if Silberman did live, he’d back up John Connor, or perhaps spawn a doomsday cult.

Kristianna Loken in part 6!
and then a cameo by Summer Glau just to mess with people’s minds!

Okay, I’m kidding about that last one.

How long before McG attempts to sign the actor that played Dr Silberman ???

Connor can get in his face and yell, “see I told you my mom was right!”

mmm im not sure this is a good idea if it goes ahead, i think it would be better if he was just one of the resistance caught by the machines and they just used his body to copy! but he doesnt look anything at all like he did in T2, looks now like a totally different guy.

I’m all for giving Patrick some work, but the idea that Mcg has for him to be a research scientist curing diabetes sounds ridicules. That must be the “Charlies Angels Full Throttle” part of his brain/CPU talking?

With “The Unit” fresh in mind, it would make more sense to have Patrick’s character play a captured resistance solider.
^
Its not the trailers for Terminator Salvation that (completely) worry me, its the ideas this clown keeps coming up with.

At this point I’m looking forward to Terminator 4 for a good laugh. I have very little interest in what I’ve read so far.

Marcus thinks he’s human? Maybe a Cylon but not a T-800.

All of Mcg’s ideas sound really dumb. If he’s a Terminator fan, his lack of creativity is stunning…

Mm, did they not delete the scene in T3 regarding the ‘origin’ of Arnie’s model? I’d imagine the same thing would happen here and for the same reason.

Plus it’s not controversial enough. Now maybe if they reported that James Cameron will be directing Terminator 5, people like myself would go crazy…

I don’t think this is an April Fools joke because they reported on this before…

steve the git,

that was the alien 3

Isn’t that kind of what they did in the Alien series with Bishop? Ripley met the human creator in the fourth one?

Pretty sure in this day and age they could just CGI him so he looks all smooth and young.
He was a great villian too.

I think it was about this time last year tat I was talked into getting the dvd of T2 by the people on here. It was very good advice!
