TERMINATOR 4 in the hands of McG?

PREVIOUSLY ON T4…

We heard that the movie was to begin production in October, even though at that time they had no-one officially cast and no director at the helm. Well according to CHUD, we may now have that director…

An inside source has told them that McG is in talks to direct the currently UNTITLED FOURTH INSTALLMENT OF THE TERMINATOR FRANCHISE, which the Halycolyn Company are pushing as a pre-strike movie.

McG is the guy who brought us WE ARE MARSHALL and CHARLIE’S ANGELS and is known for his music vids.

Time to panic now?

He’s not exactly the name we were hoping for to revive this franchise and you really have to wonder what they are doing here. They have a chance to do whatever they want with the series to start it again but instead they are looking to rush the project through by going with a script from the guys who wrote the last movie (big mistake) and by hiring a helmer who has nothing on his CV that would warrant him to make this.

Really, there’s no rush guys. I know the strike is coming but that doesn’t mean you HAVE to make this movie now. Why don’t you sit on this one for a while and think about your options. Don’t go rushing into making any mistakes. That’s how bad movies happen and franchises die.

What more proof do we need that this franchise has become nothing but than a shameless and brainless marketing tool by clueless studio hacks.

McG has yet to do anything of quality. I guess after the last movie they figured they couldn’t possibly screw things up any worse that casting Nick Stahl.

Well, they just did!

[...] I’m all for it. I actually think that I’d prefer a Chris Crocker film to any of the regurgitated shit currently being spewed by Hollywood. And folks, that’s not an easy thing for me to [...]

[...] As we already know, the script comes from the writers of the last movie (which has to be worrying) and no director is attached as of yet, though MCG seems to the huge favourite at this point, unless the Internet backlash against his appointment … [...]
