Yeah he'd be the main protagonist. He'd wake up in the future, Xenomorphs and Terminators are at war, he would fight to survive until he takes over a Terminator factory, upgrade himself, help the resistance defeat Skynet then take over and pump out RoboTerminators all the while a couple Predators try to hunt and side with Robo to take out the Queen. Then when they die, Robo takes a bunch of Terminators and Human Resistance fighters to Xenomorph home worlds from Prometheus and poo poo gets meta real.

If Cameron gets all the rights back in 2019 couldn't they film it before then as long as there's no promotional poo poo released before the rights revert?

There's probably a million little behind the scenes things that would make it not possible to film a movie that you don't currently have the rights for.

So, yay Cameron being back even though he'll be busy doing Avatar stuff and is mostly there to make sure Tim Miller doesn't go all Genisys on us.

Terminator Genisys was mostly good but they miscast Jai Courtney and the whole thing took a hit.

Genisys also suffered, in my opinion, from badly miscasting the male and female leads for the romance. She was half his size, and looked to be about half his age. Made the entire thing really drat creepy.

I enjoyed Genisys because I went in expecting total megashit, but it is frustrating that with someone else as Reese instead of Jai Courtney and some other changes it could have been legit awesome.

Some surprisingly questionable effects too for a movie with Terminator in the name. The CG backdrops and buildings were weak but inoffensive. The bus and helicopter chases though looked awful.

The part where SkyJohn is walking away from the MRI and leaving nanomachine "shadows" of himself with each step is striking though. You can tell most of the effects money went there and I've never seen anything that looks quite like it before.

Part of what made T1and T2 so great is James and his team put so much thought and planning and details into the story and production catching little things. The movies since don't measure up.

Genysis at least had the story writers explore the time travel thing and present interesting ideas so that's one place most effort went to. Also besides Arnold being Arnold I think the movie is as good as it is because Jason Clarke carried it. His John Terminator was great and would have been a great twist if not spoiled.

phew, for a minute there i lost myself
Genisys was dumb bad movie but I enjoyed it. Emilia Clarke and Jai Courtney were horribly miscast and had zero chemistry with each other or anyone else, so any of their attempts at emotion or humour totally fails.

I mean, it's not like the game sets a particularly high bar for narrative, if it's just about a Japanese guy chilling with adorable cats and setting up a cat park it's basically a perfect adaptation.

It's basically just a cute timewaster? Like it's not even really a game, you just put out cat toys and food and decorations on your first run and then let it sit until you feel like looking at cats again (and make sure to refill the food every now and then so you keep getting an influx of cats)

Then you play it last about 4 hours and you realize everything will take 12 hours to build and you lose all sense of care.

He got his big break as a sidekick on the first season of Spartacus. Then for some reason he kept getting cast as these stoic "badass" characters when the role that got him noticed was more of a good natured joker.

But yeah their "real game" Nimble Quest was not only a real game but was also really, really good.

It sold like hot dogshit. Mobile gaming is the armpit of the gaming world (with very rare exceptions like Square-Enix's "GO" series - Lara Croft GO, Hitman GO, and Deus Ex GO - that are genuinely really well done and aren't limited by touchscreen controls).
