@cyndeharvenFlag, "Independent" Day? Never saw that movie.

He needs to get back to making funny guy movies.

Michael Biehn; one of the most underrated actors of our time. Glad to see him back putting out good stuff again. But what happened to his voice. Sounds like he might have had a small stroke or something. This movie looks very good too.

Awesome! This has been done with many a horror movie before, but the Growing Pains Song makes it classic! My favorite movie that this was done to was The Shining. It's done by a quirky announcer in the vein of movies like Beetlejuice, or Ghostbusters. "Jack is a writer, who just wants some peace and quiet to write his book....."

@titanictom, I agree, totally. Especially regarding the cameos. But they should only do voices and CGI Russell and Keith ala Jeff Bridges in TRON Legacy, so the story can take off right where it left us.
And how can this be called a remake? And why are they calling this The Thing? It should technically be a prequel, right?

And Yeah, why are they speaking English. The Norwegian guy who was trying to shoot the alien husky dog in Carpenters movie spoke Norwegian when he was trying to warn them about the dog before he got shot. Just modern Hollywood dumbing it down for the masses.

First The Fog was ruined, Halloween, now this and soon Escape From New York. Are they going to make a new Christine staring a haunted car of today like a camaro or maybe a Prius or something out for revenge. If those GM exec idiots get around to a deal like they did with Transformers, then that would suck and Carpenter will have been totally raped.

@highcaliberinc, Salvation wasn't a black hole of horrible Terminator movies, but if you don't know why it sucked, you'd have to be a real Terminator fan to know why it pissed Terminator fans off. My biggest thing that I hated was the fact that the young Kyle Reese says to Marcus at the observatory, that "It's getting too dark to go out. Terminators have thermal imaging. It's not safe to go out after dark" (or something to the effect) While the older Kyle Reese in 1984 says to Sarah Conner in the Original Terminator, "We have to stay down by day, but at night it's safe to move around". All Terminator fans have been waiting for the night battles that we've only gotten a glance of in the prior three movies. McG wanted to make a Road Warrior movie. He said it himself. So he's willing to spooge all over Terminator lore to fulfill his pansy fantasy. Directors must be assigned key limitations and a list of Terminator facts that are set in stone. Changing that was as bad as George Lucas Creating Qui Gon Jin in the Phantom Menace, and have HIM trane Obi Won Kenobi, when clearly the spirit of Obi Won (in The Empire Strikes Back) says to Yoda in defense of Luke's future Jedi Training, "Was I any different when you trained me?" I loath changed premises!

Hey Godsneezed, shut up. Terminator fans around the world would love to have Paul Walker as Kyle Reese. You're yalking about Award winning actors and such. Terminator movies are for fun and excitement. We're not talking about King's Speach stupid. The more the Terminator movies the happier I'll be. Besides, if your not a fan just shut up and go back to watching the latest Bring It On sequel.

Actually there were five. They missed mentioning Snarl who was a Stegosaurus
Swoop (who is actually shown above as Rav) who was the Pteranodon. This story is from somebody who wasn't there. Leonard Nimoy has come full circle. First Galvatron now Sentinel Prime. Yea! Finally, a real actor to add weight to the franchise. I thought that there were no more Primes left alive, besides Optimus and The Fallen.
And I hate that the name Prime now is now not unique to Optimus. I hate Bay.

@K-Man, Amen, you said it. I'm a mega Terminator fan too. I totally agree with what you said below. They need to stop cutting corners and get a great director in there. I'm still pissed about the change from night time battles to daytime battles. Every movie has shown night time battles and now we finally got to the destroyed future and punkass McG throws that all away because he wants to make Road Warrior (Yes, he said that's the look he went for). The only way they can fix the battle time change (now that the machines have thermal imaging) now, is if they incorporate something in the uniforms and helmets that blocks body heat. Yeah, I've thought about how to repair McG's screw up. He's such Piece of crap! Yeah, Charlie's Angels. What a joke. Even that's getting a reboot!

"For God's sake, the guy made Charlie's Angels, that should have been a huge red flag for a film like this.
It just doesn't make sense to me why studios would sacrifice a film like Terminator, which has a HUGE fan-base and is *guaranteed* to make a sh*tload of money........"

@bane5000, it's not T-101. The T-"100" was the Terminator we see in T3, at Robert Brewster's base, that had the two miniguns for arms. The one that the T-X hacked into and reprogrammed to kill everyone in the compound. That was the first Terminator in the line. Of course McG changed the design in Terminator Salvation, and made them look more boxy, which I hated. The correct numbers for Terminator we know and love are T-800 model 101. The T is for Terminator (I know, duh), the 800 is the endoskeleton design, and the 101 is Arnold's face, body and appearance. The T-800 was the Terminator from the first movie. The T-850 is the endo from T2. Stan Winston made changes at James Cameron's request to the endo to make it look more aggressive, so they changed the number from 800 to 850. Since Arnold's face was still on it, it was still model 101.

And I like the happy ending, who doesn't? Especially is you're getting a massage. LOL!

She's going to play a new dwarf called "Trampy".

He needs to get pumped up again. But I don't know if he can pull off a cyborg anymore. He's what, 64. He needs to take the stuff that Sly is taking. That hormone stuff. Well, I'm the biggest Terminator fan of all, so I'm up for more model 101s. Get to it Arnold! Great news!

@lane, go to this link and you'll see what I mean by the likeness.

Yeah but their careers have been winding down. They haven't had any mainstream movies in a while. What was LF last big role? Armored and Predators? Neither big box office successes? And what about GS? The Forgotten in 2004? Barely on the radar. Don't get me wrong, I really like Sinise. I thought he was a lock for Bones in the new Star Trek. I mean he has everything. The wild eyes, the arched eyebrows and the puffy bags under his eyes. He looks like Deforest Kelley's twin brother. But alas they chose Karl Urban who was a good choice. He played a great Bones.

My point is, these actors can go to TV, because they have had careers and can now take these roles at their age. Brandon Routh is still young and hasn't the clout to be looked at as someone who would add weight to a TV series and would most likely disappear once the series ended. I'm just glad to see that Superflop Returns didn't kill his career.

Nah, the gumshoe narration gave you an insight into Deckard's thoughts. Without them, you have to try to figure what the hell he was looking at int at photo. It was filmed with the narrations in mind. Without them it clearly shows that something is missing. All of the quietness as Deckard snoops around. With it, it reminded me of the old gumshoe Bogey films.

Actually it just hit me; maybe Matt Damon, Channing Tatum, Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale or Chris Evans.

Well, we can't claim LS yet, because the movie hasn't been made. Let's see if it loses the original feel, then we can call it LS.

I agree with Worthington not shining as brightly as he did when he first came into view, but he does have the look. I don't know who else would play the part and have the look that HF did in the original. I really hope they bring back the narration. That was sooooo much better than the nearly zero dialog.

Jon Favreau goes from Iron Man to The Magic Kingdom? Hmmm.

I wonder if they will have PC natives in the movie instead of actual African looking natives. Remember Peter Jackson's King Kong Skull Island Natives? They were all races of people with matted and muddied up hair and skin. Lame!

Who cares Josh. Do you really think it's going to have the longevity and respect of Stairway to Heaven or All Along the Watch Tower? That crap R&B dance song is s**t no matter what name you slap on it.

And Wimpy Kid just jumped the shark with a warp driven motorcycle. Ha, ha. He sat on something sharp and pointy that stuck to his butt. Oh, good times. Ugh!
