So we thought hearing about the writers of Terminator 5 was bad enough to crush our spirits, and now the latest news of director has just sealed the deal for us.
Cue feeling more than slightly deflated…
Alan Taylor is in negotiations to direct Terminator 5.
Now, first of all, many of you will ask ‘who the hell is he?!’ He is currently in post-production on the Thor sequel… some of you may be willing to settle for Marvel movie nonsense but should you?
I’m sure Thor: The Dark World is a nice movie for the kids but is this not a possible tell-tale sign of the cash in sh*t we are about to experience from Skydance and Annapurna? The minute Skydance came on board this project has smelled… off.
What else has the mighty Alan Taylor directed? Well, mainly TV, oh and a little show called Game of Thrones which has had some critical acclaim and is great if you want to see a Conan The Barbarian that isn’t Arnold Schwarzenegger going around hearing the lamentation of the women – but to us things seem to only get worse.
Any positives? Patrick Lussier the director of the SHIT Drive Angry won’t be behind the camera.
We may be wrong, Terminator 5 still has room to change our minds but if this movie is anything like a sh*tty Marvel movie or Game of Thrones – then what is the point of fans giving a sh*t anymore?
The steam of enthusiasm has gone, and now the steam of freshly squeezed bodily waste has replaced it, wafting around the air causing a generally unpleasant smell of money (and action figures) or maybe we’ll have a Game of Thrones style Terminator movie with rampant scenes of mindless coitus and carnage.
All we wanted was a real Terminator movie, more brutal than the first, no soft core porn sex scenes, just a monosyllabic Arnold Schwarzenegger that says very little but wanders on its mission to end The Resistance.
So many things can go wrong with the 5th Terminator movie. We just hope we are proven wrong.
The movie will probably beat the last two movies but Alan Taylor excites us as much as Patrick Lussier and Laeta Kalogridis. It will probably elicit much the same jubilation as hearing the names Jonathan Mostow or McG did years ago.
Skydance was the first sign Terminator 5 had become popcorn genre Hollywood but maybe that hint of Annapurna may change the outcome.
We asked a fortune-teller to give us predictions on Terminator 5:
- Alan Taylor will likely get the job.
- Terminator 5 will be good but not great.
- It will be better than the last 2 movies (T3/T:S)
- It has the potential to be pretty good and open up new dimensions to the story of Terminator. A complete new direction for the movie series.
- A child will bear importance in the movie, a pregnancy/unborn child may play a main key role in the story.
- Megan Ellison will be happy enough with the work of Alan Taylor to ask him to helm the sequel to Terminator 5.
- Arnold Schwarzenegger’s wallet will get fatter.
- A strong female influence to the movie on and off-screen possibly Megan Ellison and/or a strong female character in the movie.
- Arnold will be in pretty good shape come the time of filming.
- Arnold might not have as big a role as anticipated.
- It will have future war elements but it may not be totally set in the future.
- A man and woman relationship. Paternal or romance.
The Future is not set…
