Terminator 6 Will Ignore Terminator Genisys, Arnold Schwarzenegger Reveals

Perusing the comments and I came to the realization that most people commenting didn't actually read (or comprehend) the article. This new film is only going to acknowledge Terminator 1 and 2. Virtually everything else is at this point essentially fan fiction. They are doing the same thing Disney did to the Expanded Universe for Star Wars.

In other words, all of you saying "another" reboot makes the plot convoluted... Not really. This is not a reboot, and it is not a parallel universe, or an altered timeline, or anything of the sort, because the only thing that happened, as far as this new film is concerned, are the events of Terminator 1 and 2. When/if you see this movie, forget anything else in the franchise exists, because as far as this movie is concerned, they don't.

Either James Cameron directs it or this movie is pretty much guaranteed to flop. That Deadpool director is kinda "meh" for a successor to a masterful movie like T2. That movie is way out of his league. Deadpool is an average movie and forgettable movie. You need masterful directors for a great movies like T1 and T2. Cameron is the only one capable of pulling this off. What a shame he's only producing.

As an 80s kid watching movies like romancing the stone when i was little, i was kinda surprised to see Kathleen Turner nowadays in series like Californication (or was it Entourage?). Not that i have anything against obese people, but man, that was quite the transformation.

So, yeah, Linda Hamilton i haven't seen her either since Terminator 2.

I wish they'd make a movie adaption of Frank Miller's Terminator vs. Robocop comic, probably one of the best comics I ever read growing up.

It's more relevant today than ever with the development of autonomous AI being in the news all the time. The crossover comic explains what makes this possible.

They should also give Edward Furlong a job... I don't know how others feel about him, but I would have loved to see him return as John Connor for consistency and the feeling that it's still good old Terminator. The Terminator and Terminator 2 are, as far as I'm concerned, the only good Terminator films. I think Salvation comes in at a distant third. I'm glad Linda Hamilton will be reprising her role, her death in three was stupid. Deadpool was a decent movie; not a great movie in my opinion, but I still think Tim Miller is a fine choice that could potentially do it justice. Lastly, I read that the sequel is going to be a sequel to Terminator 2, and is disregarding the other films... Yay!

James Cameron needs to make the next Aliens movie. And where the hell is True Lies on blu-ray?!

I will admit, James Cameron gives me a little bit more hope, as this franchise is his baby. Still, all these convulted storylines everywhere...it's a mess. They need to set the record straight somehow. What's in and what's out the official storyline anymore? I don't know

So the whole film has been retconned out of existence?

That's lame. It gave Genisys free license to make big plot twists (regarding John Connor mainly) without having to deal with the aftermath.

I wouldn't mind if they picked up the story after The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It had a lot of potential and IMO was the best Terminator "sequel" after T2.

omg this franchise needs a hard reboot. Not gonna lie though, I thought Genisys wasn't bad.

Terminator salvation was trash. They brung back terminator with terminator genesys

its gonna be cool to see the OG sarah connor

@computernoises: He still is Austrian you know.

The Terminator Fans article says this will be a sequel to T2, so they're ignoring more than just Terminator 5.

2 minute scene at the start writing off everything after Terminator 2 as a time traveling resistance victory mission ensuring all events after T2 never happened and we're gravy.

Does anyone have any idea WTF is going on with this franchise any more? There has been so much retconning and rebooting and timeline changing at this point that nothing makes sense any more. Now they are going to just ignore parts of their own franchise? Why bother. Just let it die a dignified death Hollywood. Put it out of its misery already.

We will ignore it too, Arnie. Don't worry.

The last terminator cost 155 million to make and they made 440 million at the worldwide box office, that is a big profit so why do people call it a flop.

Well I'm curious how they'll tackle continuity at this point then.

What to expect: Old people and lots of stunt doubles.

1. Make it rated R.

2. More realism live action sequences.

3. Less ridiculous over the top CGI

4. Direct sequel to T2, ignore all other movies.

5. Profit??

They always blame everyone else in these movies, but he's been in every single one. Do miss the TV show, though.

it should ignore everything after t3

Ok. I liked that movie, but that's fine. How about we ignore Terminator 3, and Salvation as well? Ya?
