TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES Teaser Trailer Up!
Hey folks, Harry here... Now, you might remember my bitching about the LOGO trailer for X2 (aka X-MEN 2), well here's a Logo trailer that actually gives chills.... The difference? Well, it actually resonates, has a theme (something that X-MEN didn't have) that causes goosebumps and puts a lump in one's throat in the hopes that it could possibly rule. And finally... Because it just makes one dream that perhaps... Perhaps it could be cool, because it is just the idea, the shimmer of liquid metal and the music that we know and love. Here ya go... check it out...

The music- tell me that didn't give ya'll chills. Screw the movie, I just wanna go home, sit in a dark room + blast the music until my ears bleed mercury. Is this movie gonna suck? We all know the answer to that. No James Cameron, no Terminator. No someone do an Arnold impression + let's make this a proper talkback already! Out.

I have not read that much about T3, (on weather or not it sounds good or bad) but that teaser is pretty sweet. Logo trailers should only be used for sequels, because they are more surprising and make more sense that way. If they did a logo trailer for say, Road to Perdition, you would not really get what is going on and not really care. The point of the logo trailer seems to be to tell fans a sequel to your fave movie is in the works, and we are only going to tell you right now, so just you wait. The T3 trailer gets this across perfectly with the music and sounds effects. Its going to rule. (Sorry about my bad spelling)

IT'S NOT A TUMOR!

Where is Cameron? Is he doing at least True Lies 2 now, or what? Screw Dark-Angel-TV-Dreck, I want his next most expensive film ever!!!
-
Who the hell made that trailer, a twat who just got a PC with some free 3D software, thats fucking who. If that is the quality of trailer design for "Major motion picture franchises" today then there is no hope for anything at all ever. So lets just all kill are selves 'cause the corporations have run outta money my friend, i woulda done that for a tenner. i'm drunk so fuck you.
-
Logo sequences really don't do much for me. Do people get excited when the box art for DVDs is announced? Actually, I'm a little put off by it, knowing that they're playing up to the T-1000 effect and the T-1000 has (AFAIK) nothing to do with the movie. It'd be like a teaser trailer for Episode 2 using a Wookie cry.

i have audio , but no video what the fuck????

Damn, I was hoping for some footage to seal the deal. The melting Warner Bros. logo looked cool though...

It doesnt claim to be a trailer, it claims to be a teaser trailer. In the old days they called these"teaser posters" and thats all it was, a poster in a theatre, id much rather see that then just the end shot on a wall. so quit your bitchin.

I am not a fan of these "This Teaser Has Less Than 1% of The MPAA's Daily Allowance" Trailers. "Solaris", "X2", and now this. Even just a quick shot of Arnie putting on the glasses, or a zoom out from the iris of the red eye of a T-800. Or Jenna Jameson getting a pearl necklace. Hey, it doesn't HAVE TO come from the film! Or with Episode III. What if Lucas put out a trailer with only blackness, Vader's breathing, and a gentle variation on the Imperial March that gradually crescendos. Then, during the last few seconds, the upper part of the screen is dimly illuminated by a sliver of blue light, and the camera pans out, revealing the light to be a reflection on the helmet of Vader. Just use the prequel font to say 2005. That's it. But at least something. Anyways, the next thing I foresee are mystery trailers, meaning ones that have no direct evidence of the film they're promoting. Tie them in with a website that gradually reveals the film and ultimately provides a direct link to the film's official website, along with supplimental material. Granted, it won't work for the next Meg Ryan or David Spade film, but a trailer that genuinely generates a "Whathafuck?!" reaction could be onto something. But I guess you gotta get something out there. And apparently if it doesn't actually show anything, it's not really a first impression.

thanks for the direct links on this and st: nemesis....but the link for t3 goes to the regular-sized nemesis. please fix...thanks. but how do you do that direct link action? i have qt 5 pro and i still can't save this stuff!
-
That trailer just made me crap my pants!
STOP IT! STOP CRAPPING! -
This teaser was about as exciting as the T2 THX logo. You could pan across a fedora and play the theme from Raiders of the Lost Ark, it doesn't mean the movie's going to live up to what came before it. And what is this, the third different distributor of a Terminator film? And it's straight-out WB, ewww.
-
The difference between that and X2? How about theme? X2 progressed along generic lines. Generic narration. Generic music. Generic symbol. the T3 trailer evoked the spirit of T2 with the liquid metal, and, of course, the kick-ass score! I still think that the first day of filming on any franchise movie should be devoted to filming exclusive teaser material, but that's just my opinion.

I can produce that damn teaser within a day with any 3-D modelling programm.

Nothing beats the good old T2 metal logo.

by terry_1978
Off topic, I know...but I wanna see if this flick is as good as the series....I heard that it gets a little more hardcore with the violence and fear factor due to the PG rating, but has anyone seen it today?
-
I have never seen such whiney dick holes in my life. Waaaa...this trailer doesn't show any footage!!! Settle the fuck down. I'd rather not see the entire movie before I see the movie thank you very much. This should be the way all trailers are. "Hey this movie is coming out its a sequel to Terminator 2." That's all I need.
-
Methinx that one of WB's stipulations during the script development stage was that this thing would be rated PG-13 so it can rake in more cash during the family-friendly July 4th weekend. The absence of Cameron is bad enough, the obligatory PG-13 rating adds insult to injury. Granted, I haven't read the script, so I can't say anything specifically about the content. This assumption is based on the profit-driven propensity of film studios, especially during the summer when thirteen year old kids have lots of free time to lend their monetary support to superfluous sequels that will taint the credibility of a series that once stood proud. Sure the film will open, but legs and longevity may be nonexistent. Call me crazy, but I have a clairvoyant feeling that T3 will suck and be PG13-soft. Arnold is past his prime too, btw.

Maybe three of the same post, but never four. Kidding. My computer's having issues and I'm pointing and clicking like a fucking space monkey. Sorry, Tyler. :(

sorry, fixed now. http://homepages.inspire.net.nz/~bathtub/trailers.html
-
As far as I heard, the female lead is a modified T-1000, so if that is the case, the liquid metal fits the TEASER perfectly. And that's seriosuly the point of this, it's a TEASER. To get the audience talking about it. Nothing more, nothing less. If they would have shown footage, this forum would be filled with people whining and complaining that either they showed too much or that you have to wait a year for it to be released.
-
ROB , THE GUY OF THE LIVE CHAT IS A COMPLETE BASTARD BY THE WAY HE LIKES T3 TEASER. :)
-
i don't know, still has that very bad vibe to it. The logo doesn't look at all. it looks like the logo for a Kevin Sobro series, not T3. can't they find a better font then that? the only person i feel real sorry for in this whole terminator situation is clare danes. man, she needs a better agent. coming back in some ricky martin pants movie. haggared.
-
This is about as useful a "trailer" as the thing I just flushed down the toilet this morning. All it does is inform us that Terminator 3 is coming out, WHICH EVERYONE AND THEIR GRANDMA KNOWS. Also that stupid, silly looking T3 logo is very uninspired. It looks as hard, and scary as the baby bunny that lives in the bushes behind my house. They couldn't come up with something a bit cooler looking? Man even the Godzilla "teaser" was better than this crap, and we all know how ridiculous that movie was. Have they shot no fooage at all? And isn't it true that there is no T-1000 in this film? So what is with all of the liquid metal? (which was a stupid gimmick even when the technology wasn't available in Fisher Price toys. Now it just looks amateurish)
-
Well, between MIB2, X2, XXX, and K19, T3 seems to be the most intimidating alphanumeric film to come our way.

Bloody Hell,It`s still a year away and i`m counting the days already.Play it back on a half decent home theatre system and the sound wooshes all over the place.

Will T3 be another Phantom Menace? This is what fans of the fran
by dumbpeoplesuck
Okay, so I liked Phantom Menace, but no kidding; it wasn't "all that". Still, as a SW geek, I was bound to a sometimes painful relationship with the film. It is, after all, a Star Wars film. Now of course you can't really compare Star Wars to the Terminator unless you only come to talkback with flame mode on, but I believe this to be the exception. At least Star Wars geeks had Uncle George still on the scene...which is perhaps why I'm even more worried when I see this musical logo. Okay, I did get goosebumps Harry, but nothing like when, in 1989 or 90, (whenever Total Recall first came to video) I did when seeing the first T2 teaser at the beginning of TR. Besides, I think it was Brads music that brought out the bumps, not that questionable logo. How are they going to explain away all that we already know? Will it work? Will it challenge us, or should it go straight to video in the Van Damm section? Everyone involved certainly has a lot to live up to, and I truly wish them the best, for all our sakes, but especially for Arnie. Can you imagine? Has it ever been done before? I mean, the Terminator injected Arnie's career with a powerful breath of life; could-WILL the Terminator now finally quench all that remains of a once seemingly unmoveable Oak? I hope its Cool News.
-
You know. At first I was really pissed too at this trend. First the solaris WTF trailer... that one did need just a bit more because--truth be told--I could care less about who is producing or directing a movie these days. After that was the Harry Potter 30 second tease of the actual trailer (whose "brilliant" idea was that?) Next came that lame-ass X-men trailer and now this. I wanted something more. But when I was reading the rants here the one about the episode 3 teaser made me laugh. Mainly because I would love it if episode 3 did only that for a trailer. I firmly believe that my episode 1 experience was totally ruined from those damn trailers. They showed every cool thing from the movie and left us with only fricking Jar Jar as the surprise we didn't see coming. That's why I went on a total Star Wars media blakcout for episode 2. I didn't know a damn thing about that movie going in and I liked it when I saw it. That being said, I think trailers need to be fixed. These teasers are almost in the right direction... but I think you guys were onto something earlier. All T3 ever needs to show is the T3 logo, a shot of Arnie... and then leave it the fuck alone. People will watch it. But knowing how hollywood works, we're going to get a teaser trailer, then the full trailer, then the 30 second spots, all of which are going to show us the best action scenes, the funniest lines, and detail each plot point ad-nauseum so that by the time we sit down to watch the movie we're already going to be sick of it.
-
Harry, stop pimpin Rodriguez's crap movie. T3 should be OK, even though I'm totally against its being made in the first place.
-
If not for the Brad Fiedel score, I'd be really disappointed. And yes, that is a one or two day job on 3D-Studio MAX. Nothing that impressive. Poor logo too. Hope that's not the final one. Oh well, just a teaser. It's not like they pour any kind of money into those sorts of things anyway.
-
I figured this might be crap because James Cameron ain't inthe hot-seat, but then I remembered that Jurassic Park 3 was awesome and Spielberg didn't direct. Great teaser, and I have a lot of faith.
-
That reads "NOT written and directed by James Cameron", because I don't think the general public is aware of this fact at all. This could have been a masterpiece, instead it will likely be a really cool action movie. But the credits in the film and on any posters should have that disclaimer. It might snuff some of the hype and expectation a bit.
-
Just about XXX.
Based on the TRAILER for XXX, I had no fucking idea if there was even a plot. It looked to me as if they took all the action scenes, slammed them into a 2:30 trailer, and said to the audience "Gee, look at all those cool explosions and rad car stunts! You wanna see this shit now, huh? Especially with Vin Diesel!!! Yeah, we know you kids really dig him! That's why we cast him! To get you in here to see this GREAT action flick! WHAM! BANG! BOOM!"
mindless drudgery. What BULLSHIT.
Now the T-3 teaser, and let me remind you prepubes in this forum, this is a TEASER you morons, was pretty sweet. I smiled when I watched it. It was straightforward. Simply said to you "Hey, here's something we've got cooking for you... and here's a snippet of the soundtrack to stir up those old feelings you have for the Terminator." But like a good poker player, they never revealed too much of anything... FOR CHRISTS SAKE, YOU MORONS! IT'S A T-E-A-S-E-R! Get the picture?
There's sure to be a full trailer later, dillweed.
Anyway, who gives a shit if Cameron's on board or not. He abandoned his baby and left it for dead. He's stupid, yes, I said STUPID, for doing so, too... He's done NOTHING noteworthy since T2 and has gone into TV land like a looney.
I'm not saying T3 will be the best thing since sliced bread, but I'm sure I'll see it... just like the rest of you fanboys.
-
A cool logo teaser this is!
-
Cameron is God
-
The guy dissapeared so far up his own arse after Titanic that only his dentist knows what he looks like. There are far better movie makers out there than James 'worship all I do because I had a blockbuster' Cameron. I'm looking forward to someone else having a go, getting a bit of a fresh perspective. If it's shit - well, the originals are still there for me to enjoy, back in the days when Cameron made movies and not events. And who gave a shit about Jack and Rose anyway? Let's face it, we all went to watch a fucking great boat sink.
Oh, and the trailer was shite. Utterly, utterly pointless. -
The Terminator: fantastic. Probably best science fiction film of the 80s.
T2: dreary Hollywood crap. A package, an Arnie movie, a showcase for special effects. A chase movie with nothing else, and a plot incompatible with that of the first film. A huge disappointment.
T3: An expensive vanity project for Arnie, who knows that it represents his last chance for career resurrection. The story arc has been ruined by T2 anyway, so the problem is similar to that faced by Jeunet for Alien Resurrection: I can't carry on a credible story, so can I at least make an enjoyable throwaway popcorn movie? T3 has a competent director, but if Arnie has shoved his oar in I won't be holding my breath. -
ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..*scratch the nuts*Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
-
and hope this one is even half as good. The Terminator still gives me chills to watch. T2 is one of the best action films ever. It still has the soul of the original but lost the terror. T3 might be really good, but there isn't much real hope. That way it will probably surprise us. I hope it does. And this isn't an Arnie ressurection attempt. He is going to have to stop doing these films after this whether its a hit or not. But at least he will have some respect.
-
it works on an intuitive level as science fiction. You might not like the script or the acting, but the setting bring everything to life brilliantly. The city planet of Coruscant, the seas and Art Deco oil rig look of Kamino, The deserts and wastes of Tatooine and Geognosis, all these worlds are assembled with great care, and what's more, just enough unfamiliar features and creatures to register as Alien, but not so much that it registers as impossible. Star Wars works for so many, because in many ways it is an escape to a galaxy far, far, away.
-
I thought the X-Men 2 trailer was bad but great Hera!!The only thing T3 had going for it,was the Terminator theme music in the background.

Umm, how do they get around the problem with the date?
by weedymcsmokey
Skynet turns the world to kibble on "August 26th 1997" as I recall - both previous Terminator movies pre-date that, which was one of the cool aspects - the future, foreseen, was always getting closer- the whole race against destiny thing. This one clearly is six years after the fact - so are they just going to bitch out of showing what happens - I know in the story following T2 they just say the date has come and gone, so is Skynet - now defunct by the end of T2 entering a new timeline by sending out new terminators, but it can't because it doesn't exist in this timeline, because if it did it would have blown up the world on August 26th- but it didn't , so where are the terminators coming from- ah, fuck it. This is too tiring. The time travel and future changing has the potential of rendering itself to be just a plot device instead of the very cool depth it added to the first to flicks. Oh, and in my humble opinion T2 hasn't aged very well - T1 still puts the cream in my Austrian coffee (Now, wit iodine!).
-
To anyone who thinks a little about it, it's easy to see that the two philosophies used in these two films are radically different and mutually incompatible. T1 says that this is a deterministic universe with a single timeline that allows loops, but not alternate futures. (There was NEVER a version of 1984 without Reese and the terminator.) Any attempt to alter the future ends up unwittingly being the agent that created the already-existing (and only possible) history. "Time travel cannot alter history in this fictional universe" is in fact the conclusion to be drawn from the film.
T2 junks this in favour of a more intuitive, easier to plot but ultimately more dull and inelegant philosophy in which time travel always creates a new branch, a future that is altered in some way, major or minor, from that which would have existed had the time travel intervention not taken place.
Interestingly, in neither version can Skynet ever save itself. Its attempts to alter the past in The Terminator turn out to have been a misplaced hope: in fact, it turns out to exist in a universe that does not allow the altering of history. In T2 (a film that is set in a fictional universe whose rules are different to those of T1), the best it could have done would have been to ensure that at least one branch of history existsed in which it triumphed over humanity. It could never have actually saved itself in its own branch of history. -
You people are all fucking stupid.
Quit whining about gayboy jim cameron. He ain't coming back cos he's scared he won't be able to make a crappier film than Titanic.
Whatever you say, Terminator 3 is gonna kick ass, so shut the fuck up. -
Would be to let him play a human who the big machine used as a template to create the terminator. That way, he could be as out of shape or old as he wanted and we would always know that what we've seen before was an idealized version of today's Arnie as crafted by Skynet. Plus, I'm sure Arnold would relish not having to talk like a robot in this part. Think of the symmetry. T1: The bit is that he's not a human, he's an evil robot. T2: The gag is he's not an evil robot, he's a good robot. T3: The shocker could be he's not playing a robot at all, but a human on which the earlier versions were based. But, I guess that's too geekily cool to ever make it up on the big screen. Sigh.
-
"Plus, I'm sure Arnold would relish not having to talk like a robot in this part."
He might relish it, but is he CAPABLE of it?
"The shocker could be he's not playing a robot at all, but a human on which the earlier versions were based. But, I guess that's too geekily cool to ever make it up on the big screen."
Cool....maybe. Hackneyed....definitely. It's a trick that's been used more than once, a rather tired way of reusing an actor who had previously played an android. Bishop in Aliens/his creator in Alien 3 is an obvious example. -
...but why is there liquid metal present in the trailer? The next terminator is supposed to be energy-based, NOT another T-1000!
-
Footage would be great, but it is a year out. Just to let the general public know the movie is coming is enough at this point. I'm sure we'll see some action soon.

Well the most unnecessary third installment at least, right up there with Godfather III. Who's pining to see this 12 years after T2? Which was itself 7 years after the original. The second really wasn't that good..well made in some ways but just too commercial compared to the first one. Arnold is NOT a big star anymore. He's a relic from another generation now. 30 million salary for this movie? It defies the imagination. This movie will be a colossal flop. It might open well, and even do decent box office by some measures. When you consider what it is purported to cost though, and the massive marketing budget it's sure to have, it will be a huge tank. Maybe they figure it will do well overseas, since a lot of crappy big-budget trash does well outside the U.S.

this movie will suck. Schwarzenegger should retire. but guess what, i'll watch it anyway. i'm such a fan of the Arnold, that I'd watch this and Conan, Crown of Thorns, too. Anyway, regarding the teaser, the first part got to me, but the second half failed. and yes, these so called teaser trailers are becoming annoying. do studios really have to start making teasers, one year in advance? X-men 2, The Hulk, etc. oh well, it is a business, but it is just frustrating to watch. especially whenever they introduce a new marketing gimmick that on first impression, doesn't seem well thought out and thus is annoying. oh well, i guess it is well thought out, if it gets people to the theaters. i'll just have to get used to it.

You son of a bitch

Anyone else think it was weird seeing the WB logo attached to a Terminator trailer? It just doesn't feel right, like playing Sonic on the gamecube.
-
Holy shit, I got one... (BONK!) Have a Merry Easter!
-
The funny thing is I didn't start hating Titanic until I started reading and seeing interviews with Mr. Arrogance James Cameron. I remember one time he said that ticket prices should be raised so that it's worthwile making big expensive "event" movies. When the interviewer said, "that would force people to only go to about 1 or 2 movies a year," Cameron replied, "Most people only go to 1 or 2 movies a year." He's an ass. It's that simple. I hope he has as little involvement as possible in that "Solaris" project. And I;m glad he's not doing T3. So you made the biggest blockbuster of all time? So what? Spielberg did it 20 years ago and didn't turn into an arrogant prick like you.

by wee willie
I mean what is this? Some kind of forum for expressing your opinion? If you want to express yourself, write a diary. Nobody's interested in hearing our collective reaction to this teaser trailer. Harry and company didn't set up this site for us to communicate with each other, for god's sake! What's wrong with you people? Stop posting your opinions. Nobody's going to benefit from hearing a bunch of different points of view. It's better that we all just read the articles and keep our slack-jawed thoughts to ourselves. So like the man said. Shut the fuck up!!! (In case you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic.)

Cool though these teaser trailers are...would it really cost much more cash if they were to on-set just go "Arnie, just put on your shades and turn round to this camera..." film a 5 second shot of Arnie looking mean, just to have SOMETHING in the trailer that is not just a moving film poster...
-
I hope they get a *real* musician to do the soundtrack this time. True Lies was a good film & all but that Brad Fiedel score was just awful. Terminator 2 was ok, but damn, we've moved on. Get Jerry Goldsmith to score Terminator 3.
-
That was nothing. Literally, nothing. That was air. If that's all it takes to give you chills, you must be a real easy date. I'm sick of these "event" teasers who think that the title is enough to get us going. Say what you will about the American "Godzilla", but that museum teaser kicked holy ass. That was creativity. This is a waste of celluloid.

im new here so im a bit late with the comments(im a brit!)iv just posted my thorts on the nemesis trailer 2.anyway, this trailer is...not very good. i agree, i want footage, something proving that arnie, even though 109, can still cut it as the terminator.we need proof!dont like the idea of a lady villian. its just not the same as two male terminators kickin the crap out of each other.why not upgrade arnies termintator to a T 1000?if this TX or watever is even more powerful than the T 1000, arnie aint gota chance.he barely survived the T 1000. it just sounds flawed and not the terminator film i want. no linda hamilton?no eddie furlong?is this not a sign?teaser trailer was average but looked rushed, cheap and the logo is pants. next trailer better be good.

What the hell? Did I see that right? I thought the FIRST two Terminator movies were by Columbia TriStar? Did Sony give up/lose the rights to the Terminator franchise?

ok, the teaser sucked but THE WEBSITE IS BETTER THAN LIQUID HERO
by tall_boy
seriously! check out www.terminator3.com that's one trippy fuckin website. ooooh, flashy...

That is just lame. I could have made this at home on my computer. I hate it when they do this crap, put up absolutely nothing of the film. I live in North Hollywood and they filmed 4 days in a row just 2 months ago, just show me 2 frames from that, that's all I ask. Damn.
-Bob -
Really, except for the music I thought it was pretty lame.
-
No, no. The logo has to go. Yuck. Reminds me of my towering aunt Gladys.
-
If this teaser would of came out in say 1996 with directed by James Cameron people would be ooing and awing it and going nuts. Now it's only ok or it didn't move me. Poeple must be expecting high art and instead of a pop corn movie.
I've been seeing people comment about the age of Arnold Schwarzenegger and well Harrison Ford is going to do another indianna jones at 60+ years old. -
Terminator Orion Pictures Corporation. Terminator 2: Judgement Day TriStar Pictures. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines Warner Brothers.

You could stick it on Crockadile Hunter and get a few more fannies in the seats.

I don't see WHY they felt the urge to make these films, since the man who brainstormed them, Cameron, is MIA from them. If anything, you'd think they'd be the opportunity to redeem himself, but still he sits and rests on the laurels of "Titanic" and his failed "Dark Angel" series (could've been cooler had they not cast that integrity-lacking Jessica Alba) and rots away. I don't see HOW they're going to do it either. Didn't they completely eradicate all possibilities of Judgment Day happening in the last movie? This movie really only exists for those poor suckers who can't make it to the Universal Studios "Terminator" show, directed by Cameron (when his name still meant something). That theme park show kicked more ass and was more of a worthwhile sequel than this movie could possibly be. -
...a talkback this long devoted to t. Though, here I am participating, so what the hell do I know. I actually thought it was kind of cool, along the same lines as X2, but a little more atmospheric. I liked it. So there.
-
that was such a pleasant suprise. the moment i heard the music...the logo melting...it was magic. i did get chills and this just became my most anticipated movie of 2003. i'm sorry, but as much as i love the hulk and the x-men, arnolds t-800 takes the cake. this is what a teaser should be. i saw MEN IN BLACK II on thursday afternoon with a packed house and everyone let out ooooos and aaaahhhhhs and there was even someone who said "awesome!" when this trailer finished playing. one fellow behind me said "is swharzanegger in it?" interesting side note, although geeks like us are gonna miss james cameron, the general public won't even notice. not one person in the place said "is jim cameron directing?" it didn't hurt ALIENS when ridley scott didn't direct it. same here...ppl don't care as long as its good. of course...that maybe the problem. but i have high hopes now and i wish mostow the best of luck...he'll need it to please people like me.
-
Don't get me wrong, I liked the faster-paced electronic version of Fiedel's score from the original film. That rocked. But whoever thought it translated well into a symphonic piece for T2 (and now this T3 teaser) needs to have his head examined.
-
Arnie will still be able to kick you ass at 70.

Even If you've got John Williams

sometimes I look at something and think that I could easily replicate it... but I know in one day I could replicate than and make it better. That was shit. Worst use of blobby surfaces ever. Man, I was interested in seeing the movie after those pics that were released, but I feel insulted by that trailer. Was this produced by lloyd kaufman and michael herz?
-
"it didn't hurt ALIENS when ridley scott didn't direct it"
Im agree about not caring about Cameron coming back..but that argument there has got to be the worst....think about it! who took over for scott? JAMES CAMERON
so ya...funny stuff! -
I mean, it's a simple graphic logo (and even a very good one, for that matter; couldn't they at least have done it in the same hard metallic design the last two movies had?). A simple shot of the Terminator's glowing eyes, or Arnold in Terminator gear with a gun, or a sound byte of Arnold's famous "I'll be back" would've at least given us something worthy of getting excited over. The original teaser for "T2," of the Terminators being made in the factory? That was THE SHIT!! This is peanuts compared to that. -
You know what'd make this a REAL sequel is if they bothered to show all the members of the past two movies. I could really give a shit about Edward Furlong, but what about Linda Hamilton, Michael Biehn, or Richard Patrick? Couldn't they write in at least a small cameo role for them? (obviously they already have another villain with this "Terminatrix," but they could've at least showed Richard Patrick's T-1000 on ice in a Skynet factory or something). Also, I've been lookin' all over for pictures of this Sophia Bush chick that Clare Danes was hired to replace, with no luck. Anyone else know? That's just comical: They hire her, and then fire her after the first dailies because she looks too young. Didn't they at least bother to screen-test her first? Just how incompetent ARE the producers of this film?? -
when ALIENS came out, no one bitched because scott wasn't at the helm...and if they did, they shut up after seeing the movie b/c it was good. sometimes a change of directors is what a franchise needs. if T3 turns out to be great (wouldn't hold your breath) then ppl aren't going to say "cameron should have done it" because they won't care. how about brian depalma's MISSION IMPOSSIBLE to john woo's M:I-2? i don't remember ppl saying "depalma should be directing, can't do mission impossible without him." of course, THE TERMINATOR is cameron's creation...but then he gave C2 pictures permission to move foward with it...he told arnold he should do the movie because he thought the script was good. this gives hope. and to the guy who said you can't do STAR WARS without lucas...irvin kershner did it...its called THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. and don't give me that george wrote it and produced it junk, cause that don't mean shit once a director begins filming something. and lets not forget JURASSIC PARK III. that was better than spielberg's THE LOST WORLD. once again, no one complained about johnston directing. jeez...how the hell did this turn into such a long post?
-
This teaser sucks. It sucks ba. Boring boring boring. Compare it to the teaser for T2 and you'll see what I mean.
-
Jurassic Park 3 was better than the Lost World? WHAT?? IMO, Jurassic Park 3 was one of the WORST movies in a looong time. Any movie where the script calls for the actors to explain every single plot device, as if the audience was retarded, is not good in my book. (e.g. "they set a trap!" No shit). Anyway, I think it can go either way - a new director can either be a shot in the arm, revitalizing a franchise, or it can ruin one. Examples of inferior sequels with new directors: JP3, MI2. When it works: Aliens, Empire Strikes Back, Blade 2. But I don't think it can be a blanket statement one way or the other. But your original point is well made - just because the original director is not on board does not mean the movie is going to flop.
-
Off course the music rocks, The Terminator theme is my favourite movie theme of all time. But that's about it for this teaser.
The new logo looks amateurish. Can you remember the logo for Terminator 2? That's what I call classy, simple and elegant. This new logo screams: "Look how cool I am! This is the new Terminator movie!". But there's the problem. Terminator 2 didn't try to look cool, it simply did. Oh what I long for the old Cameron who made Aliens and Terminator 2, the best action movies ever made. -
Issue 1) Why are we getting uptight about a TEASER? Simple. Because 12 ENTIRE years ago we got a "Teaser" that not only showed nothing from the film, but actually showed kickass FOOTAGE as well. Then we have the logo (well, thats all we have actually). What went wrong? The T2 font was excellent, this new one looks like a logo for some software program. Bleh. Issue 2) Who cares about Cameron? Well, considering EVERYONE is creaming their pants for this new one, and Terminator was a 100% James Cameron franchise up until now, you at least have to give the guy credit. Yes, a franchise can take a new director and still become awesome, Cameron himself proved this with Aliens, but that is often rare and most new directors just don't have the scope or dedication the originator had. So I'm skeptical. I love Jurassic Park and The Lost World, I thought Jurassic Park 3 blew. Here is hoping T3 doesn't let me down again.

Anyways, while my comments above might be negative, I took Tall_Boys advice and went to http://www.terminator3.com/ !!!! Not much content yet, but awesome design and a unique feature where you can add your picture to the Terminator archive. I always wondered what it would be like to see myself walking down the street. Then to have my Terminator clone send a spike through my brain. Now you can find out too!

(I can't believe I sat through a whole episode of RUSSELL CROWE'S FIGHTING 'ROUND THE WORLD for a liquid metal Warner Brother's logo.)

i'm just going to reiterate everyone else's opinion really quick... i saw this in front of men in black 2... um.. i found myself simultaneously getting goosebumps from the music and being appalled at that piece of shit five dollar logo ..i seriously could have made shit like that at school.. the only reason i'm remotely excited about this at all is the title and how it's going to show all the big, expensive stuff everyone wanted to see when the originals came out.. and of course that's about the same reason that the star wars movies got made and look what happened there... finally, from what i've heard, THERE'S NO WAY THIS FILM BEING A B-MOVIE CAN BE AVOIDED... But we can always enjoy it for however much a B movie is worth... I don't care what they say... I like movies with only special effects and visuals, especially if they've got good cinematography.. At least Jurassic Park 3 and Starship Troopers had the former...
-
by the by, i thought the solaris teaser was beautiful... i know nothing of the old incarnations or if its appropriate for communicating the nature of the film.. but it definately made me want to know these things, which was kind of its purpose. hell i was pretty young at the time but i think i remember a jurassic park teaser that just had a slow zoom in on the mosquito inside the amber.. it was damn good.. speaking of JP, i think the lost world was pretty good although reaaallyy disappointing... the crichton book it was loosely adapted from i think had enough potential to out shine the first movie... i blame david koepp.. i wanted to see biosyn and dodgson cursing a lot and conspiracy theories and chameleon carnotosaurs and raptor-bike chases (and most of all a return to the hard-ish science fiction which added so much to the first) instead of damn InGen wussies and hammond alive and a bunch of dumbed down bull shit like SOME 12 YEAR OLD CHICK DOING SOME LAME GYMNASTICS GARBAGE AND SAVING THE DAY LIKE IT'S THE DAMN POWER PUFF GIRLS MOVIE AND A HEART WARMING END SCENE WITH A T-REX FAMILY OUTING AND A BUNCH OF CUTE DINOSAURS ALL HANGING OUT TOGETHER LIKE IN THE LAND BEFORE TIME?! And number 3... Followed in the foot steps of about every other second sequal made. It was just like a bad tv movie. I was heart broken. I was hoping maybe just once a good franchise wouldn't flush itself down the toilet. Better a bad sequel than no sequel.. I think?
-
I thought the animation looked crap.........then after a few views,I noticed how subtle and clever it was.Watch the reflection in th "T"-you`ll see the face of the T-800...
-
that terminator being constructed...thr assembly line...the shining metal...shivers, man, shivers. Plus Fiedels stronzo music...
-
I never was the biggest Terminator fan. The first one was cool. The second one was about the same. Though, I am curious about T3, I must admit. The trailer really ain't shit,and the logo is pretty dumb lookin'.
-
Fuck this. First of all, what's a terminator movie without James Cameron? Second of all, about this piece of garbage teaser...is its intention to make us all get on our knees and revel? Because personally, I'm not getting on MY knees unless it will in some way assure that we're all being goofed on and James Cameron IS actually directing T3 and this trailer was actually made by some chode who was somehow able to convince everyone that this was the REAL DEAL. Unfortunately, none of that will ever be true (except the part about the trailer's creators being chodes.) You know what's pathetic? I'll probably see this movie anyway...
-
T2 was made just for the money had no real respect for the original film and seem to forget that if they stoped the war in the futer from happening then kyle would never had sex with sarha and john conner would never have been born and no terminator would have been sent back! so this is really T2 in my books IF THEY DO IT RIGHT oh and who cares if camron is not making it
