So where are they shooting TERMINATOR 3 this week in L.A.'
Harry here... You Los Angelinos... You AICNers... You Web-heads and budabudabudaBAD TO THE BONE types... Get Sir George on the earphones and get out there and observe and report! Arnie and the Terminatrix are gonna be going at it... Can machines love as well as kill? hehehehe... By the way, if you're sneaky with that wristwatch digital cam... I'd love a look see... hehehehe...
Hey Harry. First time e-mailer, long time reader. You may call me FunnyManJake.
I thought I'd shout out this little tidbit of T-3 shooting info. I live in Tujunga, right up against the foothills of Los Angeles, about 25 miles south of Magic Mountain. All throughout this coming week (4/22-4/26), the crew for T-3 will be shooting here, on Foothill Blvd, the main thoroughfare that runs from here all the way to Pasadena. They've built a couple of temporary sets here, including a tools and auto parts store, some sort of equipment garage, and a veterinary hospital. Right down the street in our massive K-mart parking lot can be found their army of trailers and equipment trucks, plus vehicles they're going to be using for the film, including an ambulance, a large grungy 4-wheel-drive truck, and two of those new hardtop-convertable Lexus'.
I talked to a security guard the other night about it, and he told me that they're going to be doing a lot of 1st unit stuff here. Arnold and whomever plays the female terminator will be present. There's going to be a few explosions going on, a few car chases and crashes, and some other cool stuff. Filming will begin at about 9:00 to 10:00 every night of the week, and spectators are allowed to watch from the Vons parking lot which lies across the street from the set.
So there you go. Foothill Blvd. in Tujunga, the cross street for all the action is Mt. Gleason. I'm sure there'd be a lot of AICN'ers in the area that would love to check it out, so maybe you could pass it along. Thanks a lot.

Yeaahhh...I admit, I'll probably go see it, because even though all signs point to crap, it will probably be a hoot, if anything.

What they need to do is make the Terminator fat and old.
by chilli kramer
No one suspects an old man, and suddenly the belly opens to reveal an arsenal of weapons. How cool would that look? Not very. But if machines really wanted to do a little killing, they'd do that.
-
60% chance of being crap, 40% chance of being great like the last two. Hope its great.
-
If the machines REALLY had wanted the Terminators to blend in, instead of making them look like Arnold, they would have made them look like Don Knotts. I can see it now: "Yepppp....snifff....I'm the Terminator....gotta nip this John Conner thing in the bud...NIP IT..."
-
Because that's where this film is going to end up, anyway.
-
He needs to hang up the puns.He's like a characature of his old 80's ass kicking self. It's sad. His recent work is so forgetable. I used to think he was The MAN. The 6th day was awful (and Batman 4 too-of course)and it was the worst performance of his career. Now, I pass on his movies like as though they star Dianne keaton. I'll see Conan 3 but T3 is for cable...

Does anyone know the plot of this movie yet? Anyone read the script?
This film just smells baaad. Jonothan Mostow??? I really enjoyed Breakdown but U571 was crap. It should've been Cameron or noone. He was smart enough to turn it down. How could he improve on the last one, one of the most iconic movies ever! I'll still go and watch it but chances are it'll stink with Arnie and his facelift! -

by rick mccallum
...Unless if the trailer looks really good or if James Cameron was involved with it.
-
i've read the script and it is horrible. it is basicly a rehash of T2 (which is STILL awsome) This movie is a HUGE mistake. EPISODE 2 FOREVER!!!!!
-
I know Jake. He's a good kid. He told me a few days ago he was going to see the filming, so I think this is a reliable article. Besides, it's not like he gave away spoilers, or said that Arnold was caught in the throws of ecstasy with the female terminator.....naked Arnold is just something America doesn't want to see again.
-
I don't understand the whole concept of even making this film.
If we already got closure in the last Terminator, why do we need this one? -

You know what? Maybe I'm toooo much a product of the Malibu Adjacent/Los Angeles/Baywatch-ripoff mentality, but I really love L.A. scandal far more than the latest washup-not-yet-washed-out-franchise action films. While I admire Ahnold, come on, I'm not really excited about "T3" because they waited too long. Back in 1991, "T2" was cutting edge. Now, even the lowest Van Damme films have such FX in them. For me, I'm glued to the Robert Blake arraignment today. Do think he's gonna pull an O.J. and say "Absolutely, completely, never say guilty, NOT GUILTY." Or is he gonna do a Baretta and say "I'm NOT GUILTY, and you can take that to the bank!" Maybe someone outside will bring a parrot. See? "T3" isn't even enough to get me away from the L.A. County Courthouse (or is it Van Nuys??) Notch out.

How many of these Terminators can they be sending back? And if they have all of these Super Ultra High Grade killers on hand, why didn't the machines send those back in the first place, or send more than one?
I have no interest in seeing this movie. If I see it it will be because I go with someone who does.
I hate it when franchises just beat a dead horse. It's not even that they are making 3. I know it's to make money. And I know it's because Ahw-nald's career is in the toilet. But at least try to be somewhat original. This sounds like a rehash of 2.
It's almost like a video game that when you think you've won it goes to the ultimate baddie.
And why do all of the terminators look like Ahw-nald? In the first one the point of the terminators is to look like humans in order to infiltrate their ranks. Once they discover that they all look the same then there goes the purpose. Hey that guy looks like Ahw-nald!? Must be a Terminator. Kill him!
The ones that don't look like him are all of these Super Liquid Metal prototypes.
And why do I want to see Ahw-nald beat up on a young girl? Is this some mysogynistic terminator fantasy?
I think these guys should get together with the Star Trek people. Shinzon v. Terminator.
Ho-hum. -
Hopefully if T3 has a plot that follows on from T2, The story continues because of the T-800 arm and chip, both which were left in the steelworks factory.
Both of these came from the T2 version of Arnie- Watch T2 again.
The Arm- During the final fight with the T-1000, One of Arnie's metal limbs is caught in the gears. He uses a pole to break his arm free. This is then left behind.
WARNING! CRAZY EXPLANATION APPROACHING!
The Chip- Arnie also gets his head rammed in by that giant anvil(or something) on wheels. When the T-1000 offlines Arnie, He reboots using his backup systems,
Therefore it is possible a chip from his head may have been jarred loose and fallen out.
Again this would also have to be left behind by the Connors.
TOLD YOU IT WAS CRAZY!
The chip explanation seems dodgy but the arm theory holds up. Anyone agree on the arm/chip deal? All you gotta do is post. -
that would make the whole cycle self-perpetuating and thus develop the plot for another. but no one in hollywood is smart enuogh to make that connection with something that they themselves made. thank god for aintitcool.com!!!!!

..or the Rock is going to dethrone him a la' Scorpion King. Seriosuly, Arnold is too old for most of his roles, but King Cona would be a cool way for him to bow out of movie-making: by playing a cagey, tough, old barbarian king. Lots o' action, violence, mad, demon-summoning sorcerors, and half-naked babes in metal bikinis. Arnold should make this movie then retire, going out a winner. Go into politics, fund-raising, philanthropy, whatever. But stop trying to make action movies like you are still in your thirties. Make King Conan a big, great final hurrah, and pass the action star torch to the Rock. Otherwise, Arnold will really begin to embarass himself. He should go out a winner, and as soon as possible.

baron34 is dead on-Arnold should do Conan 3-make Barbaric money
by tarl_cabot
Sorry but The Rock is just too insipid to be Arnold's successor. Arnold had more going for him than muscles-there was some genuine charisma but it was youth/danger driven and he fucked it up with too many teddi bear roles in comedies and bad movies that the dangerous edge Arnold once had was no more. He became just a businessman.I'd like to see Arnold go out like John Elway: MVP in the Superbowl. And not like Michael Jordan who pointlessly went back to the well again after a story book finnish.Arnold's only franchise that needs closure and offers him the best role is Conan. Not Terminator; in fact I wouldn't mind(luke warm interest really) seeing a Terminator film about John Conner's (like Anakin)life but only with James Cameron and not Arnold. He is not the most important character in these films. The first "T" established that there are many Terminators that are not made in Arnie's likeness.The battles could be spectacular with all the low cost cgi effects available. Anyway,He should do a great Conan and walk away with his dignity and the admiration of his fans intact.***

The keyword here is TUJUNGA! ( You know -- that town where Spielberg shot "E.T."? ) Anyway, forget the VONS parking lot -- if you're looking for the best view of the action, grab a seat at the SUNDOWN SALOON! This is the biker bar located directly across from the T3 set. Slam some Pabst Blue Ribbon with the local Hell's Angels and watch Ahnold blow'd up, baby - "Blow'd up REAL good!"
-
There is only a T3 because Arnnold needs a hit and what better way than to cash in on past glory?
He was the King of Hollywood until he tried to broaden his appeal to 6 year olds and selling happy meals. Too many films where he tried to be Joe Average with a wife and kids removed the "cutting edge" appeal he used to have.
I used to go see Arnold movies immediately upon their release but no more. Now I don't even rent the videos.
T3 is not needed but I understand why it's being made. I wish he'd turned to another old franchise of his and made King Conan as other posters have mentioned. Now THAT would have been kickass and Arnold could have been on top of the Hollywood World one last time before he enters politics.
T3.....I'll catch it on HBO someday. -
End his career on Conan The King! Arnie needs to come back full circle! Then STOP making movies! End on a high note Arnie! You da man in ya day, but stooooooooop doing roles that are meant for younger actors - be like your mate Clint Eastwood and do roles that suit your age - like Conan The King where he is a hardened veteran barbarian warrior!
And you CANNOT make a Terminator film without Cameron! He was SO right to avoid all this..you just can't top T2!!! -
The guys who wrote this script also wrote The Game -- pretty intricate mind-fuck material -- an incredibly elaborate script, as well. I'm witholding trashtalk on T3 for that reason alone.
-
They could also find the remains af a robotic ass... chip included.
Then a new company would reverse engineer and resurrect a new robot called "the Termibender".
One of thouse nasy ones who drinks large quantities of alchohol and steals everything he sees.. plus enjoys killing humans.
That would be just perfect for a T3.
-
It's going to be a pretty tall order,because that girl,Kristanna Loken,I just don't see it happening with her as the "evil terminator".She's pretty and looks like someone I'd ask out. Hell,I would'nt mind asking her out if I could...the point is that "T3" better not fail,with Arnold's carrer on the line.

Who is playing the villain? Bo Hopkins?

Look T3 will probably be a very good movie. Anyone here writing these feedback messages has obviously been affected in some way by these Terminator movies. Maybe you guys who are talking badly about Arnold should stick to watching sissy girly movies like THE WEDDING PLANNER or SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE or something you can handle.

I read this on another web site....
'JC' alerted us that the Latino Review has up a set report describing what happened on the set of "T3: Rise of the Machines" last night! Here's a clip (with possible spoilers)...
There was a brand new Lexus sitting out front too. What I saw last night was awesome. They had a dummy version of the Terminatrix strapped on the hood of this other type of truck. Like if she just got run over and is trying to get whoever's inside. The pyro guys strapped all kinds of explosives to the truck, as well as a mock propane tank. After tons of prep work, and all kinds of safety checks. The truck ran full tilt into the propane tank, and blew-up! The brand new Lexus went bye-bye. It's ok though, cause the security guy said that they were going to blow up 3 of them, so there's 2 more to blow up! But man, was that scene scary cause the fire went everywhere. It looked like it surrounded the whole camera station where the director was at.
