#The cast of terminator 3 full
Whether or not Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines will soon find itself with a completed script, full cast, and a pre-/post-production schedule that meets its optimistically slated 2002 summer release is as unsure as any unforeseeable future event, but the promise of yet another sequel box-office bonanza makes its robotic renaissance an inexorable inevitability. And few franchise sequel hopefuls could ask for a better built-in audience, with an additional $112 million in video rentals, and a solid all-time top 20 ranking within that very same category. Now consider that T2: Judgment Day managed over $50 million during its Fourth of July weekend debut (unadjusted 1991 dollars), on its way to an adjusted total theatrical run gross of $262 million. The February 2001 release of Hannibal (itself a ten-year-old sequel-in-the-making) demonstrated that even an R-rated film, when effectively marketed, highly anticipated, and bearing a built-in audience, can open to $58 million, on its way to a $165 million theatrical run. In 2001 alone, five of the top six opening weekend box-office films were either sequels or remakes, all of which amassed no less than $50 million in their respective debuts.

Schwarzenegger, the inevitability of a sequel to the Terminator series (even after nearly 11 years) is bolstered by some sobering box-office realities.
Plot details are sketchy at best, especially with a rewrite in the works, but the film's title alludes to the storyline's inevitable rise of the self-aware, intelligent machines that decide mankind is just no damn good, and worthy of extinction with extreme prejudice.ĭespite the ironically feeble protestations of the penetratingly profound Mr. Rumors abound regarding prospective casting, including Vin Diesel (The Fast and the Furious, Pitch Black) as a possible evil cyborg adversary for Arnie, and Famke Janssen (X-Men) as a new femme fatale fembot. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines is a project still in development, with a script undergoing rewrite, a cast with few commitments beyond Arnie himself (once again as the "good" T-800 cyborg sidekick), T2: Judgment Day actor Edward Furlong (reprising his role as John Connor, leader of the human resistance against the malevolent machines), and director Jonathan Mostow (U-571), who assumes the deferred duties of the first two Terminator films from James Cameron. In the realm that is cinematic sci-fi, the paradoxical nature of time travel itself can naturally allow for a sequel "prequel", so that in going "back to the future," we are actually transported to a period of a storyline that finds itself conveying future events that may or may not eventually transpire in that part of "future history." Confused? Good. That's bold talk for an aging cyborg, especially in light of the fact that Schwarzenegger is committed to at least two sequels set to release sometime in 2002, including True Lies 2 and Terminator 3.

No one wants to be out on a limb." - Arnold Schwarzenegger's view of movie sequels The studio executives are the most uncreative, low-foreheaded (sic) characters, copycats, you know. You don't just look at it and say, 'This made money, so let's go for the same cheap shot again.' That's what studios normally do.
