they copy arnold and send him back each time in the future there is somthing we dont know about him

john conner keeps doing things he thinks are the right things to do because, he is being manipulated to do by the terminater. when he is in the future  to make a decsion because of the past he incounters the real arnie as a human he cant belive and does somthing not right because skynet has be manipulating him and his mother. is arnie the person who sends kyle recee back but time has changed and now john conner sends him back an alternate time line skynet can win when the true time line sees arnie as the leader who actual defeats skynet and all we have seen is their new time line trying to change the past . sounds a bit confusing  but if this goes with a predictable ending im going to be realy pissed

Obama is a terminator. It's us vs his drone army.

I have an idea...

Let's say that Skynet sends the Terminator to go back and destroy the economy (computer virus or something)...Thus the US begins a world war...thus Skynet sells the Terminators to the US military...thus the Terminators revolt and enslave humanity and the end scene is Rebel Leader John Connor coming from the ashes of a recent battle and then we fade to black.  Sequel, How John Connor saved humanity.

Now to sit back and wait for the royalty checks...

I never got the whole "T2 is one of the greatest movies ever made"-thing.  Long, boring action scenes staring Arnie's stuntman (PROMINENTLY. Like, his name should have been at least as big as Harlan Ellison's in the credits for the original's home video release), a kid-actor performance that would've made Jake Lloyd blush ("No problemo!") made by the director of THE. GREATEST B sci-fi action movie of all time - ON A BUDGET - who decided he needed a kajillion dollars to be Steven Spielberg, with the "aw, John Connor just needs a DAD", and the "LOOK, these special effects are so cool, it doesn't matter that the technology in the context of the story doesn't make a lick of sense" without really having the chops to pull it off (see: Avatar)

Never saw Salvation or the TV show, but for my money, i thought the  humor and teenage existentialism and Twilight Zone twist ending of Rise of the Machines was way more in the spirit of the original movie (though admittedly, my expectations were pretty low). 

Gee.. fears that ayone you meet could be trying to destroy America secretly because they aee an evil robot? Soviets or Al Queda.. I think the metaphor still works. Hell.. the Terminators blensing in and using more gurilla tactics to collapse our infaucture seems more relevant. And.. yes.. nuclear proliferation and loose nukes are still a threat. If anything it is worse than durong the cold war with Russia a mess and still with a crazy leader KGB stooge as well as countries like Pakistan with nukes.

I've no interest in seeing any more of this bullshit; the series ended with T2 and I've been happy to see none of the films since.

I would, however, follow Katherine Bigelow anywhere.

But not Megan Ellison.

Why is no one geeking out on this?

James Cameron lost the rights to the Terminator franchise during his divorce to Linda Hamilton.

Now a producer outbids everyone for the rights to the franchise and her last picture was with director Kathryn Bigelow... James Cameron's ex-wife from before Linda Hamilton?

Does anyone think that KB will NOT be directing?  Will Linda Hamilton appear for an ex-wives reunion?  Any of the above would be worth the freakin' price of the ticket.

Terminator was part of the 80's chorus that Humans were superior to machines and that we would always find a way to overcome.  Terminator 2 (like Robocop 2) had the two machines, one vastly superior battle with the winner being more human.  Without too much extra thought into it, having humans send a machine back to battle another machine probably fits the bill.  

Although I wonder if having a Terminator come back into time with an image file of Skynet coming back into time to set up Skynet earlier would not have a better feel.  Maybe knowing that a certain kind of system (Memristors, qubits, quantom computing) is needed for Skynet to run, or merge with itself earlier with future knowledge.  Instead of the walking down the street Terminator a more stealthy one that would have to be stopped.  (by our own cyborg, human or both heroes)  

I Am Legend + Terminator = robots send a savior back in time to prevent their extirpation at the hands of humans

I saw this idea batted around another website but let's do something weird and original.  Why not have the Terminator go back past modern times to like John Connor's great, great, great grandfather.  How cool would it be to see a Terminator versus cowboys?

More modern day fears.  It's hard to say what would work.  Unless the Machine taking over army is constantly fighting a Zombie army I think, Holy crap our machines are thinking for themselves and for some unknown reason decided to kill us and take over, will have to cover it.  What they will really have to work on is better plot of why the Terminator doesn't just needs to get close then self destruct with anthrax in itself.
