Dunno if anyone knows this. But James Cameron apparently wanted to cast Michael Biehn as Peter Parker/Spiderman(with other potential choices being Leonardo Dicaprio and Edward Furlong), but also as Sandman in an alternate casting for his cancelled Spiderman film.

So how do you all feel about it? I personally think Biehn would be too old by the 90s to play Peter Parker.

Even though i think he is a good actor and potentially could do an edgier, more adult(this Spidey curses at one point), potentially angrier(understandable emotion from Peter Parker when he has lost his uncle and has the media slandering his name). But visually, he would stand out from the other cast even if they get 30 year olds to play high schoolers.

You got to see the subtle little details you might have missed over the years - and seeing it all play out in 3D was sick

Discussion Could Hungarian historical events and the roots of Andrew G. Vajna be the reason why Judgment Day in Terminator was set specifically on August 29?

Post image
3 Upvotes

According to Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the nuclear war launched by Skynet - Judgment Day - was supposed to take place on August 29, 1997.

What I find particularly interesting is that August 29 is also one of the darkest recurring dates in Hungarian history.

For example:

  • August 29, 1521 – The fall of Belgrade (Nándorfehérvár).
  • August 29, 1526 – The Battle of Mohács, one of the greatest military catastrophes in the history of the Kingdom of Hungary.
  • August 29, 1532 – The fall of KÅ‘szeg Castle, supposedly at exactly 11 a.m. (which is why, to this day, the bells of KÅ‘szeg are traditionally rung at 11 a.m.).
  • August 29, 1541 – Buda falls into Ottoman hands, an event that effectively sealed Hungary's division into three parts.
  • August 29, 1949 – The Soviet Union conducted its first nuclear weapons test, RDS-1, near Semipalatinsk in Kazakhstan.

And this is where the thought experiment begins.

In the Terminator universe, as far as I know, the first film does not explicitly mention the exact date on which Judgment Day would occur. The date of August 29 only becomes clearly established in Terminator 2.

Terminator 2, of course, was produced under Carolco Pictures, where Andrew G. Vajna and Mario Kassar were key figures.

So what do you think: could Andrew G. Vajna's Hungarian background (he borned in 1944 in Budapest and lived in Hungary until the revolution of 1956) have had something to do with August 29 being chosen as the date of Judgment Day - perhaps subconsciously, or maybe even as a subtle inside joke?

Or is this simply an incredibly interesting coincidence?

Especially considering that August 29 really does appear repeatedly throughout Hungarian history as something of a historical "black day."

Does anyone happen to know if there is any background information about how or why that particular date was chosen?

(This post is not intended as a joke. I'm genuinely interested in historical coincidences and possible connections that may exist behind seemingly random dates.)

Just saw T2 in 3d at my local theatre. I love T2 it is my favorite movie I have seen it more than any other movie. Literally over a hundred times, probably much more. My brother and I had a vhs copy growing up and we watched it constantly.

I had never seen the movie in theatres and saw there was a 3d showing. I was surprised at how good the 3d was. Most of the time 3d is trash but the movie was incredible and they really made good use of the 3d. It wasn’t used in an annoying way it added depth to the shots which I found really interesting. I highly recommend the 3d format.

What type of Terminator do you think we'll see in the next movie? One that embraces the whole mass control.

I think it will be a chip implanted in people, a la Genisys, that everyone wanted to handle their internet needs like the promise of NeuraLink but done competently. And then, Skynet/Legion insta take over except for a bunch of social outcast renegades, who now have to fight an intelligent horde enemy. Aided, probbly by some T-888 mock off (not Arnie) or some other variant of reprogrammed Terminator.

What are your ideas?

Discussion A Terminator movie I wish they had done

6 Upvotes

I think we all agree that the series kind of locked in on the franchise being about time traveling robots trying to kill someone important before they became important, and that had essentially become a creative dead end for them.

Hence why Salvation stands out as the ONLY movie set during the future wars, but one idea I had been brewing for a while is what I would have wanted to have seen in a proper Terminator movie, or even as a live action series.

It would be a story completely centered around a grizzled John Connor being stuck behind enemy lines with his father, a young and niave Kyle Reese, trying to survive the machine menace and return back to home base. I wanted them to explore the complicated father/son relationship of theirs, have it that Kyle looks up to John like an idol and wants to anything he can to impress John, while John is conflicted about whether he should treat Kyle like any other soldier willing to die for the cause or protect him by having him do simple missions that keeps him away from the action and preventing him from getting hurt or worse killed.

Tackle how John wants to have a relationship with Kyle beyond as soldiers, but as a family yet knowing he can't tell Kyle who he really is, along with the jarring age gap where the son is much older than the father.
