MGM has announced that over the next few years, they will release half a dozen huge tentpole films in the $200 million budget range, one which will be likely be Terminator 4.
.
Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't expected to return in anything more than a cameo. The original plan was to introduce a totally new Terminator.
"We did have to think about a new franchise character. He couldn't carry the movies anymore. So that caused us to have, I think, a pretty novel approach about what the new terminator would be like, screenwriter John Brancato told Latino Review in 2004. "Again, they made me actually sign things that I would not leak. As much as I would like to brag about the script, I can't really tell you."
Rumored Terminator replacements over the last couple years have included: Ralph Moeller, The Rock and Orlando Bloom (Seriously. This must have been before Elizabethtown hit the fan).
But with Arnold's political career possibly coming close to an end, things may change. I'm sure it's very possible to rewrite Arnold back into the story.
Terminator 3 stars Claire Danes and Nick Stahl are not expected to return for the fourth film.
"None of the cast is coming back," Stahl told SciFi Wire in early 2005. "The T4 story is changing conceptually. I believe it's a jump to the future, so my character will be quite a bit older. That's all that I know. So I'm not coming back, which is a drag."
Claire Danes has said that she would be back if there were interest: "Well, I've contracted to do one again," she said in a 2002 SciFiWire interview. "If audiences would like to see more of me doing this kind of thing, I'm obliged to give it to them. But I don't know if I'm going to make it a habit to pursue every other kind of movie franchise that's out there. I really love doing as many different kinds of work as possible."
Last year it was also rumored that Equilibrium director Kurt Wimmer had signed on to helm the film. But after the critically bashed and money loss leader Ultraviolet hit screens earlier this year, plans may have changed.
Moviehole reported in late 2004, that James Cameron was interested in coming back to the series as either a writer or producer. We have seen no evidence to support this claim however.
Catwoman and Terminator 3 screenwriters John Brancato and Michael Ferris completed a draft (or 80 page treatment depending on who you talk to) in 2004. David C. Wilson (Supernova) was brought on to do a total re-write based on their story.
I agree, T3 was great.What? No! I meant that T3 was ****ing abyssmal!!
On the bright side; given the quality of T3, future installments can only get better.

I agree, T3 was great. Still, they were considering Orland Bloom for the Terminator.
Orlando Bloom.
Orlando Bloom the OMG OMG IT'S ORLANDO BLOOM girly girl fall head over heels for him Orlando Bloom.
He doesn't exactly inspire fear as a killing machine, to say the least :D

No, no he wouldn't. That would just about destroy what little credability the film has.
The third one had that premise too...
T1 rocked.
T2 was a decent sequel.
T3 suck serious ass.
T4 ? My god no. Please.
The third one had that premise too...
Yeah, except he CHANGED THE ****ING DATE OF JUDGEMENT DAY.

What? It was actually better, but only in the capacity that it somehow took the laughable premise of "cyborgs from the future" and made it ****ing awesome.T1 rocked.
T2 was a decent sequel.
T3 suck serious ass.
T4 ? My god no. Please.
You seriously think T1 is better than T2?
Hollywood have been complete morons for the past year......
In that time, I have seen perhaps three good films. There was a time, long ago, when there seemed to be a good movie every month.... :sigh:
When series reach a 4, hell even a 3, with few exceptions it is time for them to die.
T1 rocked.
T2 was a decent sequel.
T3 suck serious ass.
T4 ? My god no. Please.
You seriously think T1 is better than T2?
year? are you kidding, try 8 or 9 years. :D

Congradulations, you have just proved yourself totally incompetent to judge. Sucka.
This would have been something to "sit down and enjoy". (http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=lotr1)
No, you just seem to have fallen into the trap of over-intellectualizing a movie. This is something that seems common to indie fanbois - rather than just say that they liked the movie, they instead point to camera or writing gimmicks that aren't found in big-name movies. Why? Because Indie movies can't compete in the area of special effects, have less of a range of actors to draw on, must work with limited sets, limited equipment, etc etc.
While in reality, there is no universal equation known to mankind that makes a "good movie" - except for the people who choose to believe it, and critique a movie rather than simply sit down and enjoy it.

Having the balls to do like everyone else in your own group is doing is not really having the balls at all. I'm sure I can come up with some new idea that hasn't been done, such as a story about Custer Flapjacks in the grand star cluster of Darwinia, which is ruled by the naive yet peaceful Dinosaur race that emerged from the womb of Mother Sheriff, the galactic apple tree, three zeellusssions ago. The end of the movie would be the powerful yet graceful herd mother dinosaur (literally) torn about by spontaneous insanity, raping The Colonel to death as he fought back with a bendy straw.Howard, you've done it again! *Hands over large sack of cash*
I doubt many people would appreciate that movie, though...
