Still More Speculation on the T-Femme on T3

Published at:  Nov 30, 2000 1:47:44 AM CST

Well as the rumor mill continues to spin... literally every female badass on the planet is being mentioned as being possibly associated with the T-Femme in T3. In the last two days, we've heard the WWF Chyna, that lovely Species gal, that Mystique babe and now... Variety's Michael Fleming is saying that the buzz he is hearing is set around Famke Janssen, in what would be her first major bad girl role since playing Major Onatopp in GOLDENEYE. So far, this is by far the best Actress to be mentioned in association with this role. I'm just counting down till we hear rumors about Geena Davis, Sharon Stone and Charlize Theron... hehehe... Personally... I'm still rooting for Holly Hunter to be the evil T-Femme. After RAISING ARIZONA... I can't imagine not casting her. hehehe...

    by bnitt

    I'm first...and I just want to say that after seeing Blair Witch 2 (based upon Harry Knowles recommendation)that I believe Harry is a complete sell out!!! He was paid to write that positive review of such a piece of crap movie!!! He even blocked my negative, eloquently written script review of Schwarzenegger's crap fest known as "The Sixth Day". This site sucks!!!

    The ONLY Choice for the T-Femme is:

    by president chimp

    none other than Francis McDormand. Skynet, having scanned all human media, decides that nothing would be more terrifying than an unstoppable, unkillable, Marge Gunderson bearing down on John Connor, going "So! How're ye? Is that so? Well! Gracious!" the whole while.

    I'm shaking just thinking about it. Not only is McDormand a truly capable actress, she's so sexually compelling in that unsettling way.

    by mad dog

    Shit, that is to cool an idea. She was excellant in Goldeneye (her recreation in the N64 game wasn't all that, shame) and Rounders was a hell of a lot more attractive a film because she was in it. Definately would be my choice to see up on the screen when she arrives into the past and has to search for some threads. :)

    by monkey_king

    If not, I suggest everyone take a good look. It seems Mr Mario Kassar is planning on turning this Japanese animated film into a 'live action' one starring Arnold and some female terminator, only twisting the story all around. I actually loved the animated film(a hybrid of DIE HARD and THE TERMINATOR; with the added bonus of a female terminator)and wanted to see a 'live' version done. Guess I'll get my wish, in some way. Out....

    by spyboy

    CYNTHIA ROTHROCK!!!!!!
    That's right, she's the only one who,by all rights, should be made for this role and not some wannabee actress. She could,probably,kick the asses of half the actresses currently working in Hollywood, I don't care how tough Trinity looks in the matrix, Cynthia's tougher and she's been doing this sort of role while Chyna was still discovering what steroids were, if there's a god, then Cynthia should b made for this role.

    Are you kidding me?

    by billybongthorton

    Famke Janssen??????? Are you serious? Ever since Goldeneye she has done NOTHING worthwhile. She has given us one forgettable performance after another. I can just hear the execs now. "Who should we use for the pointless ex-girlfriend role?" "Hoe about that one actress, uh, you know, that one from that Harry KNowles extravaganza The Faculty, and uh, she was uh, someone in that X-men, and uh, shit, what were we talking about?" She is the personification of bland. The new Terminator should be played by an unknown. Look at the previous two--both Arnold and Robert Patrick were menacing because, for audiences, they WERE the Terminator, not some one they saw in Maxim last month.

    This movie should star a female acctress who has never done anything of any value. And one who isn't likely to do anything in the future. Basically, a talentless hack with a good rack. Because, and let's be honest, this movie is gonna suck flaming dick! Why should we ruin a potentially good actresses career by casting her in this piece of shite? Let someone who doesn't have a career, and probably won't have one after this, have their fifteen minutes in the spotlight. A pitty flick, if you will.

    Lucy Liu is only a Michelle Yeoh wannabe.
    As for a T2 femme: The chick who plays Faith on BVS and now Angel.
    Kirsten Dunst - if you want innocent but very deadly.
    Lilly Tayler - I love this actress - she can play stone cold killer anyday!
    Calista Flockhart? - who'd ever think that a chick SO skinny can be SO strong? he he he
    Michelle Yeoh - who said a Terminator needs to be white? (Hey, I'm 1/2 Chinese and rather biased....)

    by kyle.reese

    Damn you Hollywood! No wonder your the SECOND biggest film industry in the world (I think it's the asian/Bollywood industry that makes most money). You don't know what you are doing!... There's realms of possibilities to where you could take this story. A female Terminator is the kind of thing you'd expect an 11 year old to think of, who on Earth even thought this was a good idea in the first place... I bet the first scene will show a perfectly formed NAKED woman appearing after some lightening flashes and then she takes a stroll, encounters some guys who want some action, before she kills them. This will simply rehash everything from the original two movies and try to imitate Cameron's style... Arnold should be grateful for what Cameron did for his career in 1984, and this is how he repays him - by slapping him across the face with T3... I swear, Hollywood is corrupted by these greedy producers who'll diminish any for the quick buck... I pity Schwarzenegger and Kassar/Vvajna, because if they think these two Terminator sequels are gonna reel in the billions, they've got another thing coming. They're already up against another dying franchise (Star Wars - damn you Lucas) as well as The Matrix sequels (which I'd put my bets on).

    Reply to Talkback

  • She doesn't want to be labelled as an action star. That's why she did X-Men, as she's said repeatedly in interviews, because she felt it was more cerebral. Goldeneye backlash kept her from auditioning for dramatic stuff because no one would take her seriously. It may sound like whining, but she's said this several times now. I would think doing a picture like this would be a step backwards for her.

Only if she wants to play dumb leather-clad chicks for the rest of her life. 4) Chyna. She looks like Arnie's body double. 5) Carrie Ann Moss. See #1. She's already played this character. 6) Sarah Michelle Gellar. See #1, she's already played this character. 7) Michelle Yeoh. See #1, blah blah blah. 8) Rebecca Romijn-Stamos. See #1, etc... Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think this part is vaccuous and really, who cares? It's a throwaway part, especially if it's anything like the T-1000 which is all about FX.

    by jarek

    Imagine the wicked plot complications that could come from this! The terminator looks exactly like John Conner's mother, and perhaps even is still part Connor's mother. Perhaps she died and part of her biological self was made into a terminator because she would have the knowledge of how her son would think and act. The terminator would be going through termoil throughout the movie, but initially would be a formidable opponent because she could anticipate Connor's move! "John Connor?" BANG!

    And is this last-ditch comeback effort for Mario Kassar and Arnold even offical yet? Where's the director? McTiernan is interested in doing "The Extractors" with Samuel L. Jackson for his next flick, according to the trades. Who's putting up the rest of the $100 million budget since "The 6th Day" bombed? I like the Holly Hunter notion though, for a movie that hopefully won't get made without Cameron directing.

    $5M pay cut
    THE Terminator terminated his $20 million-per-movie deal with his recent flops, "End of Days" and "The Sixth Day," Hollywood insiders say. "Arnold Schwarzenegger has been knocked down to $15 million and if he doesn't come up with a hit after that, it will be $8 million," our snitch said. The action hero steps up to the plate next year with "Collateral Damage" with John Leguizamo. And in the works for 2002 is the highly-anticipated "Terminator 3." As Schwarzenegger himself likes to say, "I'll be back."
