Arnold Schwarzenegger has been talking about why James Cameron isn't firecting Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines, this appeared over at Cinescape,

“First of all, Cameron was not interested in doing the movie because he felt like he did not want to tie himself down to any time schedule on any movie,” said Schwarzenegger. “He just, as you know, finished shooting the Imax movie and he will be finished this summer editing it. Then he will be thinking about the next thing… whatever that is. He does not know probably nor does anyone else. So when you buy a movie like that, I think you have to move on it because the amount of money you put out is extraordinary. So he said right away, ‘No. I don’t want to get into that situation.’ So the next thing became, ‘Let’s find someone that is young and that has this young spirit of new ideas and all of that.’ And when you saw, U-571 we all felt that Jonathan had the kind of talent and patience and know-how to work with special effects, visual effects and all of that. Then when we met him, it became more and more clear that he has the right personality and calmness to do the film. And he has since then proven that by hiring the best of the best people around him from ILM to stunt coordinators to cameramen. He’s been extremely good at prepping the movie and reworking the script and all of that stuff.”

(appeared at Cinescape).


Latino Review bagged news of an interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who commented on Terminator 3 whilst doing promotional work for Collateral Damage. He says that he will be playing acyborg character in the new movie, but this time the Terminator has a glitch and will be constantly switching between good and bad modes. He also revealed that Linda Hamilton will appear in the film, "She is in the movie as flash backs, but they felt like they didn't want the exact same cast and be limited with the story, but take certain people out. Let's just assume that she died already and he (John Connor) is on his own rather than his mother whining away (Laughing) They felt like you know John Connor is 22-23 years old his mother died and his is alone and lets move on."

We're hearing reports today that comebody is attched to play the role of John Connor in Terminator 3. That person, according to The Guardian newspaper here in the UK is............Edward Norton. How cool is that! This is just a rumour as it has not been confirmed by anyone associated with the movie. The Guardian also report that Arnold Schwarzenegger will pick up a record $30 million salary for the movie, plus director Jonathan Mostow will pocket more than $5 million.

The Guardian's film website, Film Unlimited also says that James Cameron sold the rights for another sequel in the Terminator series (to producer Gale Anne Herd) on the condition that it would only be made with Mostow directing. Finally, thes site states that Mostow took on long time collaborators
John Brancato and Michael Ferris to write the script.

With the script now comlete, it looks like Terminator 3 will go before the cameras in April of 2002 ready for a Summer 2003 release. All major Hollywood studios are bidding for the US distribution rights to the movie as well as domestic video distributoin rights. The film is expected to have a production budget of around $170 million, the biggest budget for a greenlit movie. The record is currently held by Pearl Harbor which kicked off its production at $140 million. (Appeared at Movie Headlines).

Meanwhile here's an interview that appeared in The Independent On Sunday newspaper a month back when our site was being redesigned. Linda Hamilton talked about the reason why she opted not to appear in The Terminator's second sequel. 'I read the script and it didn't take my character in any new directions, The film is really about turning the baton over to Sarah's son John, played by Eddie Furlong. It's Eddie's movie - and Arnold's. It was like a no-win situation for me.'



12/8/01
Upcoming Movies reports that T3 may be posponed as Arnold Schwarzenegger has opted to star in mob comedy Ump next. This will push the shoot back until at the least early-mid 2002, so expect to hear that Terminator 3 will be released in the summer of 2003 alongside the also postponed Matrix sequel.


26/7/01
At the premiere of Planet Of The Apes over in New York a couple of days back, US basketball star Shaquille O' Neill said that he has the script for Terminator 3 'at home with him right now'. The massive sports star also said that he wanted to get back into action movies. On Dark Horizons today, a small piece was posted saying that Vin Diesel, the actor attached to the project just a couple of days ago (see below), has not been approached by the filmmakers. It seems that they want O' Neill. More news as it comes in.


22/7/01

It's official, Vin Diesel has officially been confirmed to star in Terminator 3. He will play the T1-G after speaking on Century FM here in the UK. Jonathan Mostow is also confirmed to direct.Also at the San Diego Comics Con, Stan Winston said that he expects to be involved with the film but it is still in its early stages of production.


Updated : 1/7/01
The most notable fact regarding this proposed sequel is the absence of creator James Cameron. In talks to helm this time around is Breakdown and U-571 director, Jonathan Mostow. Other directors attached have been David Fincher, Ridley Scott, Roland Emmerich and Christian Duguay (The Art Of War). Writing credit belongs to Tedi Sarafian with rewrites being done by John Brancato and Michael Ferris who were previousley resposible for the excellent David Fincher film, The Game. The fact that this suo have been brought in fuels a rumour that the villain of the film may be male and not female as first thought. A name attached already to the male role is Vin Diesel (The Fast & The Furious, Pitch Black). The female role would, if the rumour is true, be one of the good guys.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has officially confirmed that he will return although the actor did state that he hoped to be reunited with James Cameron again. The collaboration will not have to be reserved for the proposed True Lies sequel as Cameron has finally said that he definatley will pass on directing T3.

Shooting has been put back from early spring 2001 to later in the year, after the proposed SAG strike.

It's worth noting that T3 will be the first of two sequels proposed by C-2 Pictures, a company set up by ex-Carolco guys Mario Kassar and Andrew Vajna specifically to make the films.
