Why won't they remake this?


There's so much technology now & they're not remaking this film? Is someone trying to stop it or something?

Jason Momoa?!

NO! God, no! No remakes, this is perfect just the way it is now. The soy boys running Hollywood today absolutely cannot stand up to a true visionary such as James Cameron. Terminator: Genisys already gave us glimpses and hints of how a hypothetical T1 remake would play out. Absolutely leave this one alone. It can't be outdone. No way.

Okay okay I understand u don't want it but no reason given as to why? I just wanna know.

reply

Ok, because Arnold is still too iconic to replace, no one can replace him and his presence. As a matter of fact the whole cast. They tried to do it with the first one a few years ago and it was a failure. Now stop being a dope

reply

Totally agree. Nu-Terminator would be watered down and pathetic

reply

So don't watch it if they ever remake it. I'm hoping Disney eventually buys this franchise

reply

No.. just no. It would be just another generic sci-fi flick. Like they did with RoboCop and Total Recall. Hate those remakes with a passion.

reply

wtf does this excellent film need a remake for? there's no way it would be anywhere near as good as the original and all these lazy ass remakes are a plague on the industry anyway. if anything, I'd love to see less remakes and more creativity and original ideas.

reply

Uhh...there's nothing left u know. How about a good sci-fi thriller based off the Terminator? I think a movie inspired by it could work.

reply

you made a thread with "remake" in the title and now you're talking about "inspired by"

I thought you might be a troll before I replied but gave you the benefit of the doubt, but now I'm convinced that I did waste my time.

and "nothing left"? that's laughable, a creative brain and some actual backing is all that's required but unfortunately we're flooded with people raised on remakes

Really? Sounds good to me. Not a troll I said to make a movie inspired because so many in here are against remakes is why. People here can be mean & call others names for wanting to know stuff. Not right!

Hopefully someone with some smarts owns the rights and refuses to let them.

reply

Because remakes suck and no one wants to see a remake to the first Terminator.

reply

That's not true. It's always someone.

reply

Not with this movie.

reply

We already got a remake of the Terminator and it was great. Loved seeing the evil John Connor

reply

Ok ok I understand not many people want a classic messed with. I get it! But let's say they were doing casting for the Arnold part. Who do u think has a great modern look for it? I like Chris Hemsworth.

reply

Vin Diesal or The Rock

Biggs I agree, there's so much technology now.
You should take all your technology and fuck yourself in the ass with it, now go and do it.
