I saw this and thought wow!

Hey folks, Harry here again... The above was posted by AICN's Behind-The-Scenes God, RoRo - as Time-Warner knocked out my internet this morning in a widespread pre-emptive strike to attempt to silence the news that Bruce Wayne was John Connor... But I want y'all to think about this for a second. McG has done more than just CHARLIE'S ANGELS - his film WE ARE MARSHALL was a very solid and tonally realistic film. Personally - I love what McG did with CHARLIE'S ANGELS - it was fun, kinetic and exactly what that version of CHARLIE'S ANGELS should be. Then there's the fact that he cast the T-1000 in WE ARE MARSHALL - which means, probably, he's a fan of T2 - or just has the coolness to just recognize that Robert Patrick is the ****. Either way - He's managed to cast Christian Bale in TERMINATOR SALVATION - and that's pretty huge.

We know Bale takes his **** seriously. And if you saw 3:10 TO YUMA... just imagine him coming out of his mountain and beginning the process of taking out SKYNET. With Bale as Connor - that means that we have a great chance that McG is pulling a chair up and will deliver. It all depends on that script... it is obvious we're dealing now with an adult, GREAT MILITARY LEADER storyline ... How he got the remnants of civilization together, trained them, armed them and began a guerilla war that eventually, we hope, brings down SKYNET.

I for one am anxious as hell to see this done right. Let's hope.

I hated Batman till I saw Bale as Bruce so he could put new life into Connor.

Another terminator no Arnold tho? then it will suck.

The flabinator would have to hit the gym and steriods hard... I don't think his aging body would be up to it. Though, it would be cool to see the pre-cyborg models with artifical skin over exoskeleton that were made to look like Arnold though...

ahhh just leave it like that, good memories of t1 and t2 no more......... no real need for a sequel.

sequels for the film are more a financial interest and approach than real love to the franchise, it just deteriorates and crappens the whole franchise.

and a remake?????, like T3 rerise of the machines unscrewed version directed by James Cameron

kidding

just my opinion, I think the terminator franchise is great but I woulnd't like to see it crappened like star wars or something.

peace

I personally never liked Bale in Batman, but I think that was a dislike of the film as a whole rather than Bale. For me, Batman was Michael Keaton in the two films he did as the Dark Knight - I didn't expect the new Batman to be a 'rewrite' sort of thing.

However, I agree that Bale is a superb actor. Watched the Prestige recently and was completely suckered into it. I like the sound of this rumour a lot.. bodes well for a worth successor to T1 and T2!

Maybe they could work Arnie in somehow that he was a human that was used by Skynet to model its droids on. Like someone who is part of the resistance who works with Connor, that is captured early on and experimented on and subsequently used as the 'mold' for the Terminator. Far fetched but I think Arnie deserves to be written into the story somehow.. he really owned the Terminator role as far as i'm concerned.

I don't really think Arnold is needed for the next terminator movie, sure he's cool and all, but the next one is probably set before the machines can mak human like terminators anyway. And they've finally moved past the repeating crap time travel stories so.

IMO they should forget T1| ever existed, T1 and T2 is the same damn movie except T2 looks better and has cool effects. T3 finally moved the story forward and finally moved us up to the Machine war. and Since T4 will be all about the machine war, I can't see how it can suck :) as long as it's got cool machines and humans shootign at each other like the T2 glimpes of the future war. it's all good.

Good news, Bale never dissapoints.

Like everyone else, T1 and especially T2 hold a special place in my heart. T3 was, eh, mostly unnecessary, but the last 5 minutes of it made the whole unnecessary romp worth it... the destruction of the human race finally ****ing began!

As for T4, I think an Arnold cameo would be more than adequate. I've been waiting since I was a kid for a film version of that old arcade gun game (where you fired uzis at the machines in the future machine war), and I'm all for a newly envisioned trilogy. Think of the possibilities: new characters, new story lines, new technologies, and of course, Terminator style action sequences. So like someone else already mentioned, in my eyes, it all depends on that script...

I feel the opposite, ever since Bale is Bruce I can't stand Batman... lol

Well it's more the storyline in that movie, he isn't that bad of an actor, but it didn't suit him.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.

      Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
