Terminator 3.5
From Dark Horizons and Moviehole.net
Ok, as good as it was, “Terminator 3 : Rise of the Machines” was no “T2”, nor “T1”. It just didn’t have the same feel as the first two movies, and well, felt a little too short.
TheArnoldFans.com are reporting that “Terminator 3” might be headed back to theatres and with 40 to 50 minutes of additional footage. It’s a rather tricky deal, so let them explain:
“I have had a few phone calls and dozens of emails with Chad Campbell to discuss the quite possible reality of bringing Terminator 3 back to the theaters done to perfection. Inspired by T3 director, Jonathan Mostowąs earlier words, saying if he had another $50 million dollars in the budget, he could have given the fans the ultimate film, Chad felt Mostow needed some immediate support! If tens of thousands of fans unite, we can show the film studio how serious we are and that we would pay big money to see the film again in the theaters with these additional scenes.
Chad has managed not to step on Jonathan Mostow's shoes and will not interfere with his artistic vision. Other than changing Johnąs age back to the correct age and modifying a couple of dates, we can respect Mostowąs work. Do not fear Mostow, Campbell wants to only insert additional scenes including big action sequences and a few character development scenes. Best of all, there will be a wild final battle loaded with new action as well as MANY additional surprises.
On December 18th 2003, Chad conceived of the idea Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines Special Edition or as he nicknamed it T3.5. Chad Campbell sat down and listened to all the fans complaints, including his and my own. Chad watched T3 on DVD hundreds of times to analyze it, and figure out how to make this the ultimate film.
The possibility of making this truly happen is not lost. We have passed Chadąs T3.5 script proposal onto some of our good Hollywood inside sources. One high-powered Hollywood legend says Chadąs script was "Phenomenal" and plans to take it to some "other Terminator people."
Chad tells TheArnoldFans: "What I have decided to do with T3.5 is make an Extended Edition much like "Lord of the Rings", but what makes this project so unique, is the fact that we will go back and film an additional 40-50 minutes of footage. This footage would be re-inserted into the Theatrical Version of "Terminator 3" without much change to the Theatrical Version. Of course the age/date mistakes will be changed. What will be added in this version? Well, I really donąt want to spoil any of it or show it to anyone because I donąt think WB wants everyone to know if this gets green lit. In my 44 page script, there is much description of the story, filling in plot holes and making everything make sense. Best of all, we get to have two great new action sequences including one in the future and a great final battle at the end of the film.
We, with out a doubt, will require your help to sign TheArnoldFans.com's official T3.5 petition. TAFs has many connections so I can get the script to the Producers and other T3 people. However, the problem is getting them to take it seriously. In order for them to understand, they need to see tens of thousands of names on the petition showing your support. Fans from all over the world must unite for this one!
When Chad Campbell first pitched T3.5 to me, I must admit, I thought he was being quite the dreamer. But after I read his 44 page script of the newly inserted scenes, he made me drool for what will surely make T1 and T2 look like Red Sonja compared to Conan the Barbarian. My own personal biggest complaints with T3 were these three issues: 1. Lack of an exciting future war opening sequence, 2. The Terminator is not a terminator. He is AGAIN good without a single kill. 3. There was no big finale battle to make audiences roar with excitement. The T-850 and the TX should have battled at least 5 minutes before the TX was terminated. Chad Campbell, with a little help from yours truly, put these NEEDED scenes back in (plus many other additional action and character development shots for Terminator perfection).
Just two weeks ago, Terminator 3 producer, Mario Kassar told me "The most important thing is to create the best possible story for the Terminator fans." Arnold and Terminator fans everywhere should be anxious for the producers to back up their statement with the fan's release of "Terminator 3.5: The Rise of the Fans."
TheArnoldFans' King Conan petition reached well over 10,000 signatures. Before Schwarzenegger stepped into the Govinator's shoes, he told many people that he would do King Conan based on the popular petition found here. John Milius and his staff told TAFs that "King Conan: Crown of Iron" was going to happen thanks to us. Petitions DO work...as long as the fans are ballsy enough to act.”

No, thanks. This EE/''n.5' frenzy is going too far. Now every crappy flick is potentially viable for an 'upgrade'.
(No offence to the T3 fans out there.)

I am really not a fan of T3 at all. So I sure do welcome any opportunity to make a horrible film much better and more like the others.

I like it the way it is...

im keen! i really liked the idea that the war was inevitable... but they made the villain too good! you are supposed to believe that this thing is indestructable.. and smarter and faster etc etc.. but they are still going to beat it... with what?? luck??? pfft.. they should create a weakness.. and exploit it.. instead of trying to make the coolest villain ever.. dont forget that the hero has to eventually destroy it! (it makes sence in my mind.. i dont know if it translates well to text )
anyway.. im all for it.. get James cameron back.. and the original score should be used!!!

I support this and will be seeing it and purchasing a DVD copy. I enjoyed this movie (including the trilogy) and will even more with addition scenes.
