TERMINATOR Boys To Script XXX III??
I am – Hercules!!
Michael Ferris and John Brancato, who scripted the last “Terminator” movie and the next one, are talking to Sony about scripting "XXX: The Return of Xander Cage," which will reteam director Rob Cohen with star Vin Diesel.
Ferris and Brancato previously collaborated on “The Net,” “The Game,” “Catwoman” and “Primeval.”

they let the dudes who wrote Catwoman write a Terminator movie?
-
They'll need to watch a lot of it, in order to top the last two XXX films.
-
XXX movies have never been interesting. Unless you mean the actual GENRE - and not the Vin Diesel vehicles.
-
Put that on the poster and this'll make even less than the second XXX!
-
how did they sneak in that great movie with all the stinkers?I'm convinced Fincher rewrote it...no way these dildos came up with all that great stuff...
-
Damn it, I had the same idea. Why would anyone want to see a sequel with that mouthbreather Vin Diesel? Has anyone seen "Find Me Guilty"? It makes the Jerry Lewis/Holocaust Clown movie look like an Ari Gold-chosen project. Besides, nothing will beat the creativity of XXX 2. Nothing says humorous like a nerdy white President quoting Tupac!
-
Terminators make anything less than stellar even marginally better. See the slightly rank episodes of T:TSSC that get better for the small moments that have Terminators.
-
I'd rather take a Rorschach Test comprised of looking at the skidmark stains in Harry's underwear for the last 10 years than watch a Triple X3 Movie!

xXxxXxxXx
-
they actually admit to doing that?
-
Lets get together and make a 26. ;)
-
Most excellent.
XXX III, not so much. -
Thats one of the very few movies that I couldn't finish watching because it was so bad. Usually i'll finish anything even if it is bad. I turned it off about half way thru. I don't know how it ends and I don't care.
-
you know it.
-
I did feel more like xXx than Die Hard anyway, so why even bother with writing a new one?
-
How pretentiously shitty is that title?
-
like I know who he is based on all the given information but who gives a shit.
-
seriously, xxx 3? Who the fuck cares?
-
I thought Andrew Kevin Walker wrote it. The finished script for The Game CANNOT be written by the same guys who wrote the script for Catwoman.

Andrew Kevin Walker's rewrite of The Game was uncredited. Consider me: validated! lol
-
What the hell is 33?
-
Damn You Michael Bay
-
...What happended to your career? So good in Pitch Black, so bad in everything else. Does anyone in world want a XXX sequel?
-
Great film. Holds up really well.

Had there been no Jason Bourne trilogy, you'd have never got the Daniel Craig Bond, which is basically a British clone of Jason Bourne. The Bond franchise has been picking over the bones of lesser franchises ever since Tomorrow Never dies, where they decided the fantastic Pierce Brosnan (who was AWESOME in GOLDENEYE) would be better off as a bad Roger Moore, and proceeded to make him such in the next three movies. That nailed his coffin shut as a decent Bond.
Bond is only any good now because it's too busy trying not to be Bond, but Bourne.
Aaaaaaaanywaaaaaay...
Anyone else remember the halcyon days of the 1980s, when action movies didn't have to be great to be entertaining? Holy fuck, have you guys seen COMMANDO lately? Or RAMBO 2? xXx fits squarely into these categories: you may think it's shit, but you're watching them from the wrong perspective. Daniel Craig and the Bond franchise owners may want you to think that Bond is up there with Dostoeyevsky and Sartre, but it's a pulp character based on pulp books that were fun but forgettable. Daniel Craig tries to give it so much gravitas that even Judi Dench has given up and is giving the series the kind of camp archness it depserately needs. It's DARK KNIGHT syndrome: the more painfully earnest a movie is, the more fucking boring it is. You're JAMES BOND! you're BATMAN! Fucking LIGHTEN UP! The best thing in TDK was also the one having the MOST FUCKING FUN! LIGHTEN UP AND ENTERTAIN US!!!
I'm gonna watch xXx the way I watched the first one: on Saturday night, with a bunch of mates, a pizza and some beers. It's harmless, entertaining schlock: it doesn't have to be Shakespeare! True, the second one was abysmal - mainly due to shorter, fatter, much less able to act Cube at the beginning of his sell-out phase - but the first xXx rocked, and the James Bond joke at the beginning was just that: A JOKE. It's an action movie guys - you're meant to fucking ENJOY IT, not over-analyse it to the point that you watch it as some Nietschzean treatise on the soul of man! I want to see Vin fucking over Samuel L Jackson, hot Euro chicks, a villain anywhere as cool as Marton Csokas was, better extreme stunts, a MUCH better tag line for the hero (because "Welcome to the Xander Zone!" was SHIT, and you KNOW it was, Cohen!), and all around a bigger, more epic scope to the movie.
It's xXx. It's not TRYING to be Bourne, Bond or Batman: it's its own animal. If you want your over-earnest bollocks from the likes of Bale, Nolan, Craig and the rest, fine: go enjoy it. But don't go running down a franchise that isn't half as fucking pretentious as most of the shite masquerading as high art out there right now. -
Marton Csokas in xXx could take on both villains from the two Daniel Craig BONDs with one arm behind his back. Without both arms, if he were the rock-hard Templar Guy de Lusignan he played in KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
Marton Csokas is the kind of person you NEED as a bond villain, not fucking card players and estate agents. Oh, some fucker's buying up Mayfair, oh, some fucker's lost all his employer's money playing fucking poker! Who cares?
What the hell happened to destroying the fucking world?!?!
"You're not even fully evil. You're half-evil. You're like the Diet Coke of evil." -
The difference between xxx and 80's flicks like Commando is the fact that the 80's flicks knew that they were stupid, which made them immensely more entertaining. Cohen and Diesel actually think xxx is fuck'n cool. Which makes xxx not entertaining, but dull, lifeless and sad. Diesels only ever been good in Saving Private Ryan. He'd probably be good in that Dirty Dozen-type flick Stallone is making. But just as long as he never sticks his peepers in xray goggles and shakes with rage again, I'm happy.

Cant wait 25years for Din Viesel to reprise the role in the fasion of Stalone and Rocky Balboa.
-
Stupidest, wankest, most pathetic excuse for execrable film making ever. XXX was rotten.
-
I did like the idea of launching a submarine killing machine from the Land locked Czech Republic. That took a special kind of brainlessness.

Why is this deemed "cool news" but not...
by i_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looking_for
Christopher McQuarrie signing on to write two new flicks, one which is The Champions with Guillermo del Toro? And del Toro is teaming with The Henson Co. for a stop-motion Pinocchio? Surely both those are "cooler" than a fucking xxx sequel!

They're also writing BeastMaster 5: Beneath the Loin Cloth
by harryblackpotter
Then they'll be writing Leprechaun 9: The Mole Men. Seriously, I was hoping that the script would be half decent, but since hearing that McFuck didn't want James Cameron to read it, I'm getting a really bad feeling about this movie. I hope I'm wrong but this movie could suck more than a Dyson.
-
Wine Oil is a half dimensional- one quarter talented pig's stool.
He is revisiting his couple of shit films this early in his career! What the fuck did he did? Did he violate Mother Teressa's corps in front of god or something? No he is just shit.
I will deliver a steaming turd to any cinema that dare shows this stupid film. -
This reaks of suck!
-
The guy bitching about recent Bond baddies not having extreme plots. I find this refreshing because if every movie had a baddie trying to blow up the planet, it would get dull. xXx sucked the action was horrible and the character was pointless. Also you want to talk about lame bad guys the group name was Anarchy 99... Shitty.
-
Starring that queer guy from Pitch Black (The only half good movie he's ever done!) Vin Diesel!
Guess ICE Cube was to busy with The Barbershop 3 or something. -

Oh, and why the fuck is a writer from the movie CATWOMAN involve
by thajackal
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IS THE WB HIGHER UP people smoking crack now?
Oh wait they did give the green light to Singerman Returns, and they want to keep Brandon Routh even tho the next SUPERMAN movie is going to be a reboot! HA!
FUCKING MORONS!!!! Someone needs to clean house at the WB. -
This will keep these talentless hacks away from properties I care about.
-
It was fucked as soon as McG was announced he was going to direct it. Why does anyone expect it to be of any quality. this is the dick who directed Charlies Angels. Whereas we have had a great trailer for Star Trek, all we've had of T5, are Blurry action shots a la Quantum of Solace. And who really gives a fuck about XXX. They were all shit. I am starting to think that a lot of people who come onto AICN are being subjected to some Jedi mind trick, because, where AICN used to be quite on the ball, now it is just sucking dick.
